Just an FYI
I have a son that is addicted. I want to say he is in recovery, so he is ½ way there. HE has done the sign thing, begging for $. The $ ended up for some food, mostly drugs and booze. He has been sober for a year. He will run in, and buy food. Give it to them, he said, that they will take it if they are truly in need. From the expert! You did good!!!!!!

We have red flags, intuition, gut instinct, warning bells (whatever you choose to call it) for a reason. It is our subconscious speaking to us. Research has shown that our subconscious self is a lot more observant that our conscious self and this is the way it which it warns us. It is smart to follow your instincts usually.

If his story was true, he could have called the police for help. They will respond to "woman alone" breakdown calls.
Time to build a bigger bridge.
You actually have a rudimentary, primitive "brain" in your tailbone. It's a bundle of nerves, but it controls a good portion of what we call second sense, instinct, etc... Ever have your brain and instincts telling you two very different things? That's your primitive brain and your higher intelligence brain warring with each other. Or sensing that someone is looking at you, or watching you, or feeling like you are not alone in a room. Your brain filters out a lot of the signals it receives, treats things as background noise... like hearing small sounds, seeing things out of your peripheral.. but your primitive brain doesn't filter things like that.

Plan the work. Work the plan.

I had a warning bell go off when I was 18 years old and I ignored it. I was almost raped because of it.
I was walking to my car, this man kept asking me questions and trying to talk to me, and my idea in my head was "nobody messes with me, I am getting in my car." BIG mistake. The man forced me inside my car and was attempted to do something horrible to me. I hit him in the face, side-back-handed if you will...and I jumped out of my car and ran like Hell!
I went to the hotel to wait for the police (that hotel had kicked this guy out for being drunk and harassing the cocktail waitresses and instead of escorting him off the property, they let him "roam' outside.....)
If he would have done that to me, it would have forever changed my life in a bad way.
So, now young ladies, if a man is hovering near your car, DO NOT get in. Move away from your car. Go back to the building you came from. It takes a micro-split-second for a man pumped on adrenaline to push you INSIDE your car and overtake your vehicle.
Lesson learned for me that day....

I was leaving the hospital with my sons and was feeling happy that my late husband was no longer on life support. We decided to go have some dinner in a nearby restaurant when a fellow, also coming from the
hospital talked to us about his problem of going home as he took his grandmother to ER and she was now
confined. He was from out of town. He said he was short of money for transportation. I felt so sorry for
him and gave him some money.

Backtracking a bit in this thread to the topic of sign holders...
When he was in high school, my son was hired by a temp agency to twirl a sign on the weekends. He was paid $13 and hour. After 5 years of working as a supervisor for the evil W place, I earned less than that.
