This a new one
 
A new twist on an old scam
I was getting fuel and this guy comes up to me and says he is quitting his job, his fuel card wont work and he cant get a hold of his boss, He just needs enough money to buy about 50 gallons to get home. I told him good luck and watched him go from trucker to trucker and then he got in his Dodge Ram pickup and left.

That's interesting. 50 gallons in a Dodge pickup? Maybe so. :| Funny, though.

Hey Fredog, my truck is dirty, and I spent all my paycheck on chicken lights and lot lizards. Can you give me just enough money to go get my truck washed? I'll pay you right back.

(I love the "I'll pay you right back" line these people use. Riiiiiiight.)

Anyone ever walked up to you with a broken truck key and said the other half is stuck in his door lock? He needs $$$ to get a locksmith and blah blah blah

When I was with JB this last winter I locked the keys in my truck at the fuel island. I walked around and asked other drivers with FL Century's if they would try to open my door, more than half told me to either f off or they ignored me. Finally found a driver and his key fit my truck. I was amazed how many drivers thought I was trying to scam them. I would would help another driver if he needed help just was surprised me how many won't.
