View Full Version : Pay it Forward

Has anyone else done this? I did but it wasn't the warm feel good type of pay it forward. I was at Starbucks and had just pulled up to the first menu sign. I wasn't there 5 seconds when a beat up truck pulled up behind me and started honking like I was holding up traffic. Nobody was behind him and 1 car was in front of me. When I got to the second sign where you order, he did it again so I was getting a little irritated. When I got to the window to pay, I paid for his too (only because I had a gift card and his was only 4.25). So when I was leaving, I pulled forward about 4 feet so he couldn't pull up to the window. I flipped him off and sat there for about a minute before I drove off. :angry-smiley-018::angry-smiley-018:

Ok if he was being a dick why would you even want to pay for his coffee? I would have taken my sweet time and then flipped him off lol!!! I thought paying it forward was supposed to be a feel good thing!!!

I thought paying it forward was supposed to be a feel good thing!!!To make him feel like a dick....why else. Anyone can flip someone off and then they feel justified for their dickiness. Pay for their drink and they might think twice about how they act. Have you ever heard the "kill them with kindness"? It was sort of like that but I couldn't help the finger thing.

If his was "only" $4.25, how much was yours?

Something similiar, if I see a homeless guy begging for money, if he looks for real, I'll try and go by the closest burger joint and get him a few burgers, I'm not giving anyone cash, he don't need alcohol or cigs, not with my money.

Are you sure he wasn't waving and pointing at your "RD Sux" sticker?

I agree, would have done the same thing and not paid for his... But in all honestly, really pay it forward, do it all the time.. We try to do as much as we can for anyone we can!

Ah. I've seen somebody pay over $8 there on one drink with all the extra shots.

I'm going to try to find a good cause or someone I feel deserving of having it "paid forward."

I just hope this guy doesn't mistake kindness for weakness and try that again. If he does, sooner or later he'll run up against the wrong person and he'll have to have his horn surgically removed from his bowels.

Alright, well I did something "good" today to try to pay it forward that's fairly out of character for me. There was a bunch of people standing on a street holding up posters asking for donations to pay for a funeral for a little girl (appeared to be there daughter) so I gave them money which I've never done before. I also bought a bag of trail mix incase I was sitting next to a homeless person at a light or something but that didn't happen today. Whose next?

That was very nice of you. We were driving to the river and it was raining outside. It appeared to be a brother and sister at a corner asking for money. Well they didn't have cover so I gave them my umbrella and $5.00.

When I can, I have a tough time not giving/paying it forward to people that need a helping hand. I've seen both ends of the poverty/wealth spectrum more than once....it is 20 times easier to give than it is to receive it.

I'd almost give you a thanks for this post if there was a button for that.
I'm pretty stingy with the thanks but I know where you're coming from (been there, been that). :)
