Do u let "strangers" use your cell phone in an emergency ?
This morning I allowed a young lady to use my cell phone. This was while I was at Wal Mart. I have seen her around time many times before. I think she has a crush on me. 🙂 She asked me to use my phone so she can call her mother. I gave her that look you know. 🙄 But once she let me know who she was gonna talk to, I let her use it. It was no problem. But I rarely do this. I normally do not let anyone use my phone at all. Was I right to do her a favor. Do you let strangers use your phone in an emergency, or not.
I don’t have a cell phone, and pay phones are no longer an option, so yes, I have asked total strangers if they could call someone for me. Never been turned down.
Usually kids cuz they're usually bawling so I know it's genuine.I used to work in the Children's dept and heck of a lot of shitty parents who dump the kids there and go off shopping
Nope, nope, nope....it’s a quick way to get it stolen. A student did it one morning, someone claimed he was waiting on his ride to work and they hadn’t showed up and he wanted to call and ask them why....the student handed him her cell phone and he sprinted across the street and left the area with it. She came back inside the building looking distraught and told me. I told her to call the police on the lounge phone but she was embarrassed for having fallen victim to a stranger. I convinced her that it was a crime that should be reported. So she did and she told me that the officer was very angry but I think they never found the guy that did it.
@samueltyler2 i live in NYC. People steal phones all the time. A child is almost always in greater need of help and less likely to have their own phone so it is more worth the risk than an adult who may very well be running a scam.
