A guy was annoying me for some gas at the convenience store.

He had run out of gas and was being pretty pushy. I asked him who he's voting for in November and he said McCain. So, I didn't give him any money. Is that a mean thing to do?

1. Aren't they the party of personal responsibility?

No, it wasn't. People reap what they sow in instances like that.

2. Uh-huh. I'd suspect that 99.999% of people, when asked that question in that

situation would have answered, "What does 'who I'm voting for' have to do with it?"

3. Thanks for doing your part to save the Earth

With no gas he won't be able to drive his stupid car

4. He could have gotten some gas from me -

But he would have had to have pulled my finger.

5. I'll admit to thinking that too

6. I think that is the latest "scam" beggars are using.

I have heard numerous stories about being approached at a station by someone who "needs gas". I would have asked him where the vehicle was and asked him to turn the ignition on. If he was out of gas I might have him pull up to the pump & buy him some. If it wasn't damn near pegged on empty I would complain to the store about allowing beggars to harass customers.

7. Nope.

Your reaction was perfectly sensible. There are way too many scammers out there.
