OT: Why do mofos feel like they can do this shyt??!!!!!

 Whaddup yall - yea, I been off the scene and laying low in the cut for a minute.  Doing some self reflection and thinking about things.....

Anyhoo - lemme run this by y'all - cause I am so seriously hot about this shyt I am ready to go smooth OFF!!! Imma give myself all during the day today to think about my approach - but I'm just gut checking.......

Here is the situation:

Met a dude at my community center - my daughter attends the charter school there and goes to their after school program.  Dude is a personal trainer and teaches classes there a couple nights a week.  Dude had pretty solid fitness knowledge, so I signed up for his Sat morning boot camp last year and did that for a couple months.  He is the one that introduced me to kettlebells.  Anyway - I haven't trained with him for at least the last 8 months - money been funny and I have been able to do my own program and make adjustments.  I still see him a couple times a week when I pick up babygirl and we speak - might even chop it up for 10 - 15min.  Nothing outside of that. 

Now - keep this in mind as well - during the time I was training with him - he did make a pass at me after breaking up with his gf at the time - I let that pass drop smooth to the ground without even flinching to pick it up.  I ain't interested in him like that, plus - I never shyt where I eat.  Babygirl will be at that center all the time - I don't need BS. 

OK - here it is.  Day before yesterday - dude calls me up (we never have 'chatted' on the phone) and tells me he has a 'dilemma'.  Says that he is short on his car note on the ride he just got (he had an old paid off truck, but it died, so he had to get a new ride) says that if he doesn't get the note in my 6pm, they will shut the car off. (yes - there are places that sell cars with smart chips that allow them to shut off the engine remotely....smh) He says he's about 100 short. 

  <----- me.  Cause why the HELL would this dude call ME for this shyt?  We have never gone out, talked or anything other than chatter during training or when I do my pick ups for babygirl.  He tells a long winded tale of his 'woe', all the time trying to lead me into offering help.  AWWW HEYL NAW!!!! He kept leading, I kept deflecting and I finally got off the phone telling him I had another call and I'd call him RIGHT back.......... yea - right.  Never did. 

So YESTERDAY when I go to get babygirl - this mofo pops out of the computer room across the hall from her, basically corners me and asks for $5-$10 f******oney!! Says he left the house without his gas card.........

I was in the hallway right outside babygirl's classroom, folk and children passing by - I couldn't go slap off because I would have been kicked out of the center (they have serious rules about behavior and whatnot) - plus - that shyt caught me SMOOTH off guard!!!! I coughed up a 5-spot in what felt like an out of body experience..........

So - when I got home with babygirl - I'm thinking about that shyt and I am SO ******G MAD! The mofo KNEW better than to hit me up in the parking lot (neutral ground) so that sneak attack in the hall was a set up (in my opinion).  

As it stands right now - he's gonna get a manifesto text message basically telling him to 
1) never speak to me again other than basic civility and whatever I need to know about babygirl's b-ball games (he coaches that)
2) keep the 5 
3) if he EVER says anything to me outside of what's necessary for #1 - I'm going to have a talk with the community center management. 

Alright - there it is.  So what's your take - am *I* trippin???

This man is panhandling where he works?!


Did he look like he was on drugs?

 Ummm - yea - I guess that is a way to look at it.......

Naw - didn't have the 'druggie' look - he's a personal trainer! LOL - he's fit.  Not incredibly cut up all to def, but he's fit for 40 something. 

Does not mean he is not using.  Being an athlete gives him that above suspicion air.  Just like drunks, some druggies carry it well.   

He is seriously tripping not you.  You are probably not the only one he's asked for money.  Or, perhaps you are first and others are in his que.  

I'd catch him at work in front of the world.  Then in the most pleasant of pleasant tones, say exactly what needs saying.  Then say good bye and walk away even if it meant leaving him talking to my back.    

Hell to the Naw !!!!!    You are not tripping.............!!!


You you check his foul azz !!!!

MM...you are definetly NOT the one trippin here! This is a grown A$% man...WITH a job!
How you gone buy a new whip you cant afford...there's public transport...and then you being a man gone ask a single woman for some cash.......
Maybe he thinks he deserves it cause your looking good and he thinks its a result of his training class!!!
THE NERVE!!! I wish a nucca would..........

Yep - we are on the same page.

Naw - he can't think he had anything to do with this over here now... I have no idea what was going thru that mofos head - but I will solve this mess quick fast and in a hurry!

I say he needs to be checked big time!  He has serious issues believe me when I tell you he desires to have his feelings hurt.

GTFOOH!!!

Oh no he didn't! And I'm so impressed you kept your cool-but I woulda dropped kicked his ass!

MM,

Leave it alone. I want to tell you to report his solicitations BUT you don't know just how desperate this mofo is. Yeah, he caught you off ground BUT he does coach your daughter and you don't want him to bench her for the season.
