Normally, the g/f just doesn't answer the door when she's not expecting someone, but I answered it and it was a distraught lady who said she locked herself out of her car and required $9 to pay the locksmith. She also said she's suffering from cancer and was just leaving a friend's house.
Well, I'm not sure her story added up. After all, why couldn't she have asked her friend for help? And why $9 specifically? At any rate, I scrounged up a $5 bill and some toonies and loonies to reach the $9 she requested. "You WILL see this again," she said. She was extremely greatful. Well, I never saw it again, and I do wonder about the legitimacy of her story. But it was only $9. And her gratitude made it worthwhile.
The poppy licence plates are a great concept. I manage to restrain my road rage when the car in front of me has a poppy plate.

I had the exact same thing happen to me about 6 months ago. Exact same story.....the story was so stupid....I told her to get lost.....I knew she was lieing to me. What kind of story is that anyhow?
BTW I did ask here why $9.....I said it costs a lot more than that to have a locksmith come down and open a lock.....she said that is all she was short.
