I told her this far into the month my pockets are dry. She and her children left and seemed to hit every property along the street next. May sound callous but the way how trinis moving the smartman game forward, I have no interest in charity or humanitarian work. My mother in law took her soft heart for a family in her area and in short time, the mother who initiated the begging, and the children would drop by to ask for something. Then the father would show up too. Not me and that.

The well prepared sob stories usually follow a basic pattern:
a. Preface with "Good Morning/Day/Evening/Night, I don't mean to disturb you and I don't normally do this/beg eh, but..."
b. Relate that some unfortunate event has occured.
c. Show they tried to get help from a legitimate source which didn't work out.
d. So now they're "asking for a help".
Just Saturday gone, mankind get hit up with this one from a well spoken middle-aged gentleman:
*He want's me to know that he doesn't beg but...
*He's from Point Fortin, only travels by bus and there are no buses running from San Fernando to Point Fortin this afternoon. Unfortunately he only has bus tickets, no money.
*He walked all the way up from King's Wharf to KFC on Coffee street to see if he could borrow money from his pardner who works there. Said pardner didn't come out to work, so...
*...he wants to know if I can help him with full passage to get home to Point Fortin.
