The same thing happened to me in Philly except in Philly nobody just says hey I need a dollar for the train. The always have some long story about what happened and why they need bus fare. So this one time this guy told me this whole story about how he was working at the Tweeter Center and he was tring to get home but he lost his transpass anyway I gave him a token for the bus because he was wearing a tweeter center shirt. A week later same guy starts to tell me the same story. I said, "You already told me this story.", and I kept walking.
