I was stupid enough to pick up a hitchhiker on 18th Ave & 45th St. The chasid spoke in Hebrew. Odd I thought. Even odder that he needed a ride for three blocks. A mere thirty-seconds into the ride and I was already regretting my nicety - he hit me up for tzedakah..he was from "Eretz Yisroel..." You know the deal. Well, I pretended not to understand but he repeated himself - this time rather clearly.
Why do some people have to take full advantage of every favor? I'm the idiot for even stopping. Shortly after he tried to schnorr, I politely told him that he is better off walking - the traffic is "crazy this time of day." Hatzlacha!
