I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. It wasn’t a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. So this has happened to me but from the other side. I think “Do good recklessly” would be fantastic word art to hang on one’s wall. Just do nice things for people sometimes. So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.Īnd I don’t care if it was a scam or not. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?” I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?
She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not.
A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined.
If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. He was a soldier in the king’s personal guard, but he could not shake the feeling that he had been so much more in the life before this one. Of course, his former captain was now a king, his king, no one deserved a happy ending more than him and Zoya and there was still plenty to do and a lot of mischief and trouble to be managed, but it was no longer the same. Life aboard the Volkvolny had been adventurous, he had visited far away lands and cultures, learned about their literature and poetry and… Saints, he missed this life. Even fun.īut as days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Tolya started to feel restless.Īs he turned into the courtyard of the Palace, he felt gloomy in spite of the first rays of the spring sun warming his face. “Poetry” is Visions of Atlantis - “Mercy” and “Freedom”Īt first it had been exciting, interesting. Can be read like Tolya x reader, but mostly it is Tolya x adventure or Tolya x new literature and poetry. So, the other day I listened to a song of one of my favourite bands and it kind of inspired this Tolya drabble.
