Random Observation

[nekosensei]

Is it me or are high school and college age kids having a harder and harder time filling up their cars with gasoline because of the rise in prices? About a month ago, I had a guy (probably in his 20s) ask me at the gas station if I could give him five dollars so he could fill up his tank. He said that he didn't have enough money. Yesterday when I was out shopping, I had a girl come up to me and say that she had run out of gas in the parking lot, and needed three dollars. I must be mean because I didn't give money to either one of them. Has anybody else out there had random people come up to them and beg them for gas money?
