Emergency.
 

This is about as humbling an experience as I have ever had, and I just don't know what else to do...
I am at the beach in Fort Lauderdale, I came back to my car that I had parked in one of the hotel parking lots to find my car had been broken into and my wallet stolen.
The only thing I have is an old out of service phone and thank God, my Driver's licsence that I keep in there..
I am out of gas and have no way to get home or to work in the morning.
I have none of my numbers and no one I can call to help.
I NEED HELP.
If anyone could Western Union me some gas money I would send it right back tomorrow morning.
I know. This is so embarrassing, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried calling anyone who could help and cant reach ANYONE.
I cannot miss work. I don't know what else to do CP...
I'm so embarrassed..
Can anyone help, or offer a suggestion?
I am so stressed right now.

If I can do it online, I'm your huckleberry.

How are you able to post? If you can get here, you can get Uber right?

That sucks man. But this story seems a little strange. How are you able to access ChiefsPlanet?

I can do it online. Just need a cash pickup location from him.

if it’s legitimate I’ll kick in some money. I’ve got PayPal and all the cash apps to get you some money quickly.

Poster with a history of drug abuse now has no other methods by which to get money, his car is out of gas, and the only thing he has is an out of service phone, yet he's able to get online?

This sounds like the guy at the gas station that says he's a veteran and his family is waiting in the car a few miles away but he doesn't have any money.

Or it could be real. I'm not sure.

We can remotely pay for an Uber ride right? That shouldn't be difficult.

I'm on an old out of service phone that was in my glove box using free WiFi in a publix parking lot. The screen is so cracked I can barely use it. There is a Western Union inside that's the only way I can think of to be able to pick up the money
Im sure it can be sent online. You just need full name, city and state. I'm going inside now to get the address here and charge this phone. It ta

Takes forever to type anything on here and it jumps back and forth from page to page bdriving me nuts!!

yep, you can pay for someone’s ride anywHere in the world where Uber is legal.

That is exactly how I feel. I am so embarrassed.

Did ya hit the post reply button early, or did the phone die and posthumously decided to continue posting for you, cause it's a good guy?

Alright man. I'm online now. Next step is pickup location. I suspect personal info is next. Hit me with that via rep or some shit.

Free WiFi. Publix parking lot.

Relax man. It's gas money to get home. I made that much typing this out (not really).

Thanks for making me feel like shit BTW

You know how this place is. You had to expect some douchiness.

You could just tell me to shutup.

We just had to put him through a few security questions to make sure it wasn't a scam. Ya know, the Internet and all.

I offered to kick in some too. I like beach tribe, sure he’s had some issues with drugs but it’s just a ride home money for crissakes.

Shut up Joey.

I’m out of town or I’d just come pick you up. Looks like these guys have you taken care of if not pm me.

This. Dudes a junky and a piece of shit.

I pmed edave so everyone else can chill but thank you everyone.
$10 will get me home and this nightmare will be over.

I haven't done drugs in almost a decade.
But I guess if you share personal history some people, especially people like you, will use it to **** with you.

E
 

I did. But I'm also grateful for the overwhelming number of really good people here..

If I was an emergency I wouldn't take time to argue on the internet. You're lying dude.

No offense, but when you're asking people you've never met to wire you money, a gram of humble goes a long way.

Made it to the beach, but ran out of gas at that very moment. Possible I guess.
:shrug:

B
Ive made everyone aware that one person is sending a tiny amount of money for gas. I'm not scamming or I'd be inviting anyone to send. It seems to be taken care of so I'm not asking for anything else.
I know with the abuse you've taken here this gives you the chance to feel better about yourself bybkicking someone when they are in a tough spot.
I'm sorry you feel that need, bro.

Yeah, color me skeptical I guess.

Good on eDave for being a good guy, hope he isn’t being taken advantage of.

I'd send you some money, but I just blew it all on some sweet seats to a Chiefs preseason game.

..it's ten damn dollars.

:shake:

You do it all the time you prick. Like I said if my car was broke down the last thing I would be doing is arguing with someone online.

Lay off, Titty Meat.

The mystery of the universe is amazing.

Car is broken into but manages to salvage a phone used to get help and a Driver's License that is somehow not located in said stolen wallet.

OP has no friends or family who can help him even though he's stranded. Get new friends!

Miraculously arrived at the beach with just enough gas to get there but not enough to get home.

OP actually gets help from good old Chiefsplanet instead of using his talents for a road side handy and earning some gas money.



OP is living right.

So how do you run out of gas at the beach exactly? You've got to walk me through that one.

They only time I've ran out of gas is when you're driving around high trying to satisfy a late night food craving.

What other choice did he have? It's only 2018. There are no ride sharing apps available!

Geeezzzz you guys can be harsh. It’s a lousy $10 spot.

I've never ran out of gas in my life and the beach eounds like the kind of destination you fill up before even heading there unless you live really close. And if that's the case, Uber/Lyft would definitely be a lot easier and embarrassing to get rather than asking internet strangers for money.

Today. Tomorrow it will he $100. Next week $1000! When do we say enough is enough!!?!

I feel like this is a social experiment or something.

Get out of my head.

Here in the mid-west a church(minstrel alliance) would help. In Fort Lauderdale?

Im not totally out, but I will run out thon the way home.
I have an extra DL in my glove box cause I lost it replaced it then found it.
And yeah, I had an old cracked phone in my car.

And yeah. My life has been a big pile of shit almost this whole year.
I'm miserable. This is a microcosm

I couldn't even imagine being down to my last $ .

well, yes i could?

Prayers sent.

Of the whole thing.
Just like how edave sent me some gas money but I need a tracking number and I think he stepped away and they are about to close.
So judge me. Clown me. Laugh it up. it's been one big cosmic joke on me and Ive just about had all I ctan take of it.
Enjoy a nice chuckle while I sleep in my car in the 90 deg heat.

Damn, wish I could help. It'll take me two and a half days to drive ther. I'll give you a ride.

Just saw this Tribe.

I can help if you still need it.

Keep us updated.

Nah, Fort Lauderdale is too progressive for black face.

At least you have the CHIEFS 2018 Season to look forward to. :thumb:

He's in receipt of the funds. We almost missed each other but the store must have stayed open until he got the confirmation # from me.

PS. It takes a village. Vote Hillary.

Did you call the police? They would probably give you a ride home

:facepalm:

Good on you for stepping up immediately and helping out a complete stranger in a time of need.

Points taken away for quoting and being a fan of HRC. You seem like a smart individual, do better!!







*waiting for inevitable "take this shit to DC" post

Na. I'm just ****ing around. As are you.

Get gas on your way home?


deep thoughts.

Just noticed this thread. Not surprised you're the one who stepped up.

Good man Dave.

Shit happens man. Pay no attention to assholes, lifes too short.

:D I knew you meant ministerial alliance, just giving you a hard time.

I remember when this place used to be a community. Now it's just a place for people who's lives are so miserable, they can only feel better by putting others down.

****ing sad...

Props to eDave.

QFMFT

****ing sad is right.

Yeah. I don't give a shit about 'community', but I do give a shit about not being a dickhead.

Dude asked for $10.. It costs you $0 to keep your ****ing mouth shut and keep scrolling.

Edave came through. Thank you so much.
FTR this story was not BS.
I have for the most part, been happy my whole life although I've been through a lot.
However my sons mother moved a few hrs away and took my son and I have been living with an emptiness and misery that I cant put into words and it's affecting my entire existence. I cant concentrate. I'm depressed. I'm just....
Anyway. Thanks everyone. Sorry for looking sketchy and shit. Really wasn't anything dishonest behind my plea. Just a lack of preparation and disorganization.
Thanks again.

Did. You get hooked up? Pm me info if not. I can find $10 with worse uses.

FWIW.
I'm sorry.

I did.
edave.

Thank you, though.

You people are very interesting and neat.

Wow. Sorry to hear all this, BT. I hope things get better for you.

That's their weekly cash after they catch up on behind bills

It’s a microcosm is the world in general

bummer, man.

Hang in there..the current situation doesn't define your life, it's a just a small part of it.

Be strong for your son. Things will get better.

You don’t need to apologize for shit.

Exactly.

I think the issue is that I've been approached by people in a parking lot who "ran out of gas and have no money to get home" countless times, and at least a few of them have been out there again a few weeks later with the same story. Add in Western Union, which is one of the most common transfer services used in scams, and I can understand the skepticism.

It sounds like BT is legit here, but you have to admit that this sounds pretty scammy if you didn't know the guy previously.
