Feel guilty now...

My faith in human nature has been restored, although I must admit to feeling really GUILTY.

On Sunday nite, someone knocked our door, it was a chap that we sort of know....but not well.
Anyway Pat said, 'come in man' and promptly gets him a coffee etc.,
3 minuets in the conversation, he asked Pat 'can you lend me three quid.
Pat says, 'sure' and asks ME for my purse (errrrr I'm lending it then!!!!!!)
Then this chap asks me 'can I ask you for a fag' which I hand over. Off he goes on his way saying ' I'll fetch it back tomorrow'
Monday came and went...no return. Tuesday (daytime) came.......no sign!!
So last nite I suddenly said to Pat..'Oh by the way, that bloke didn't return my money'
A KNOCK AT THE DOOR............................as Pat is walking to the door, he's saying 'I'll give it you back then'.
As he opened the door, there is this bloke, he comes in returns my money and gave me 20p for the fag OOOOOP's


If you met this guy you'd know what I meant, he's a black guy, with dreads, and looks MEAN, but I felt sooooooooo guilty, he said 'I came round Monday but you were out' (think it may of been when I was cleaning out the rabbits)

So I have been pleasantly surprised.........and have to admit I was WRONG

nice when that happens isn;t it

when i worked in the garage is used to lend a bit of change or money for 10 fags if someone was skint rarely got it back but when i did it was those i least expected it , bloke came in one night out of petrol needed to get home dad was ill i though yeah yeah my boss would go mad so i said put a fiver in and i would pay ..he did come back a week later fiver and chocs and flowers cos he got home just before his dad died and he wouldn;t without my help
lump in throat

Don't worry about it, it's the sort of thing I normally do, I'm renowned for constantly having my foot in my mouth.

oh dear! i must admit i wouldnt expect someone to come back with £3....

but it is nice when that happens!

That is such a lovely story, poor man
I went very red, I can tell you
Me neither, well it just goes to show, never judge a book by it's cover eh!

see i would worry myself sick about repaying it .....faith restored

Don't you feel so guilty though for not believing him.
Glad everything was ok in the end

a really good pal of ours, to look at him u would think jesus run for the hills.hes about 6ft 4 huge, Mohican hair do. muilti peirced tattoos everywhere. he get strange looks off ppl they cross the road to avoid him. but hes the nicest person u could meet. hes a single dad whos doing a better job of raising his kids than alot of women i know.hes also a top class chef who used to work in the london hotels.
so never judge a book by its cover.

It really goes to show that you cannot judge people by appearance.

Glad your faith was restored

me too..............
