[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571151, member: 1233"] Lisa, that is EXACTLY what I thought. Why would you buy all that stuff if you couldn't get it home? The hamper was quite heavy. I started to lift it when I thought she just needed help putting it in her car. After I refused to help her and went around her to my car, she pulled out an iphone and called someone. No clue what she said, as it wasn't English, but the iphone made me wonder. thank you confirmed my suspicions that it was an iphone (he has been around them because he has quite a few classmates who have them) and we both wondered if she could afford that, how come she couldn't afford a taxi or to wait for a friend to give her a ride? It isn't like Walmart closes and she would have to wait outside. I pointed out to thank you that she put herself in danger by asking a stranger for a ride, that it was idiotic to buy stuff you cannot carry if you are not driving or getting a ride or the bus. When she stood behind the car t even set off thank you's internal warning that somethng wasn't right (we talked after we got into the car and away from her). It did provide a great "teachable moment" for thank you and I to discuss helping strangers, asking for help from strangers (and don't any of you say there isn't anyone stranger than me, cause there IS. I call him husband.), and listening to that warning voice even when it seems silly. [/QUOTE]
