what would you do?

i was approached by the same guy the same nite after my gym session. same as nadd’s case, he said his car broke down and he needs money to take a cab home. the first request was for RM 50, then he reduced it to RM 20. the first thing that crossed my mind was not to trust this guy. i kept my car windows closed throughout the whole exchange - safety precaution as a lone lady driver.
but as i drove away, i started imagining him doing crazy things like jumping infront of a car to attract people’s attention instead once he gives up being rational and waiting for the red light before approaching their cars. my dad was in an accident enroute k. lipis from kl - the car rolled over the ledge after trying to avoid hitting a dog crossing the road -Â and he actually had to do that (jump infront of a cab) before anyone actually bothered to stop and help. apparently the sight of a man covered in bruises at the side of the karak highway at 6:30 am in the morning, does not bode well with most travellers.
anywho, after reading nadd’s post and the comments from her readers, i guess i acted right.
so for those who pass tun razak - ampang junction, keep an eye out for this character.
