if a stranger

asked to use you cell phone or asked for money would you lend it to them?

both scenarios have happened to me before and i’am not sure if i would repeat my decisions again..

  1. person comes up to me at the grocery store and asks to use my cell phone i was actually just putting it into my pocket after checking emails so i couldn’t even say no.. i was actually very worried the entire time that he may run away with my bootiful phone or something so i stayed close by even though he said you carry on do your grocery’s i’ll bring it to you.. but i stuck around :vivo: so lucky me got my phone back

  2. once at the mall a person infront of me ran short of money or something and asked me to pay $15 that she would pay me back outside the store since she left her cash in the car :vivo: i said sorry and did not pay :hinna:

so what would u do? or what have you done in such cases? any other cases…maybe someone asked to borrow your car or laptop?? :vivo:

share sharee :asa:

Re: if a stranger

If I see a stranger in distress and if they need to use cell phone to call someone I would give it to them without asking.
If someone ask me out of the blue and the situation is that they can run away with it I will not give it. them . I will dial the number put the phone on speaker and let them make the call by holding the phone in my hand.Or I would tell them I am not comfortable to share my phone with a stranger.

Same thing with money. If I see someone genuinely needy , I will give it to them without asking. If I suspecting that they are taking me for a ride then I will not offer or give it even if they ask.
Who in their right mind would give laptop or car to a stranger for using it.

Re: if a stranger

No i won’t let anyone use my cellphone again unless I know them. Happened to me once a girl at university said she needs to call her brother or father to pick her up from campus she isn’t feeling well. She wasn’t even my class fellow and I gave her my cellphone to call. And then after a few days someone started texting (SMSing) me. When I asked who it was? he said his girlfriend called him from this number :vivo: It was so annoying I had to change my number just because of him.

And Money :konfused: I don’t know

Re: if a stranger

I will never give him/her my cell phone.

I will give him/her amount, mentioning, its alright, you dont need to pay back.. if its within 50 Pounds!!

Re: if a stranger

^ you would really give away money to a stranger that may not even reaally be needing it ? :konfused:

Re: if a stranger

needing or not needing, if he has lied, its his and Allah's matter now!!
I will be satisfied that I helped someone! if someone tricked me, he will be fooled sooner someday!! I am sure!!

Re: if a stranger

Yes...i wud lend my phone
And I wud definetly pay if its a reasonable amount without expecting it to be returned.

Re: if a stranger

Yes, I would lend my phone seeing as I've been able to use other people's phones to call home when I've been stuck on the train and my own phone was out of credit/battery.

Not sure about the money though. Depends why they need it.

Re: if a stranger

money yes but fone NO...i'll let a stranger use my fone ONLY in an emergency on the road. :)

Re: if a stranger

lol a stranger went to make a call once using my phone. He went god knows where and came back after 5 mins saying he dropped it and cant find it. I said to him “its ok man ill find it”. Lol his expression was priceless when i whipped out my other phone and started dialing the “lost” phones number - It was in his pocket:disgust:. He was embarrased and really apologetic lol

Re: if a stranger

:hayaa: no way seriously :eek: wow, that’s pretty sad.. and why do you have two phones again ? :vivo:

Re: if a stranger

Re: if a stranger

for situations like this. I joke i joke lol. I just bought the new iphone and my contract for my other phone was about to run out so i decided to make the most of the remaining contract. I actually didnt realize i had my other phone with me until he dissapeared for a few minutes. Thats when i new that he was upto something. Thankfully i had it with me lol

Re: if a stranger

oh lucky you, i’am assuming it was the iphone he ‘lost’ :omg:

Re: if a stranger

It better not be the i phone:bummer:

Re: if a stranger

hahaha yeah it was the iphone (othre one was a blackberry, yes i finally made the swtich). This was on the side of the motorway/highway and he flagged me down. It was pissing down that day so i was tricked into thinking that it was genuine. He looked like a serial rapist was rockin a freddie cruger porno mustache
