So anyone else help out people at the gas station?
Once, when I was driving a service truck in Markham, Ontario, I found myself smoking a joint in the back lot of a busy gas station, when I noticed the attendant approaching my vehicle. I thought I was going to get told to fuck off.
When he was halfway across the lot, I noticed how his head was slightly cocked to one side, and he was developing a noticable spring in his step the closer he got to my truck. I had a pretty good idea what to expect.
"Only one thing makes you cough like that!"
The guy was originally from Alberta, and had been looking after his buddy's gas station, but his buddy had basically abandoned him there.
"I've been here for three months, and I can't find ANYBODY who will sell me any weed. This place is horrible."
The cat looked square as can be, he even had a moustache. I could see why he was having trouble scoring. I finished the joint with him, as the lineup for the pumps behind him started to stretch out into the street. I pointed the situation out to him, and he looked back at the pumps and said "Fuck em. Can I keep this roach? It'll come in real handy later."
I hooked him up with a few grams.
I went back there a few times to check up on the guy, but I never saw him again. I kinda think he smoked the weed I gave him and wondered to himself "what the hell am I doing here?", and then screwed off back to Calgary.

That story made me lol. I used to work at a few truck stops, and I sometimes helped truck drivers score drugs, and helped homeless guys score drugs/food, and sometimes let them chill in the driver's lounge, but I never gave them money.

Does anyone get this a bus stations? I get asked for fare for the bus the whole time then they just leave. I've had a few people -mostly young travellers- get really aggressive at me for not giving them money, so usually I just give them some change and pretend I have nothing else. Junkies are usually more friendly and will leave you alone if you say you have nothing to spare.

I had a friend who ran out of gas and his sister told him she'd come get him but she never did and he had to go around asking people for money until he could afford the gas to get home.
One time I ran out of gas on my motorcycle (I don't have a fuel gauge and forgot I still had it in reserve) and a guy saw me doing the walk of shame down the sidewalk with my bike and offered to get me some gas from a gas station. He was a fellow motorcyclist and gave me a ride in his car to the nearest gas station and he even bought a gas can I could use to fill up (he said he needed one anyways) and gave me a ride back to my bike. I was so thankful, he told me to just pass it on if I ever see anyone else in need.
