Pet Peeve #31

Why do some fares try to make themselves feel better about being a scrub? I get this guy, ask him where he is going. He tells me, and says...
"It usually costs around $10, but all I have is $8."
Now, I give a grunt and whatnot. The guy launches into this explaination about -
"Well, atleast I was honest." Bs, yadda, yadda.
I give him a
"fine."
But he just won't let it go. Explaining all about his life difficulties and how he should be rewarded for being so honest and forthright.
GEEZUS!
If you are a scrub, just admit it and play upon the goodwill of others...
