My co worker gave me a ride home once, I gave her a fake address so she wouldn't know where I lived.

Can't trust people ya know. :lol:

I gave an old lady with grocery bags a ride once, she didn't even live that far but the dua she gave me was incredible. Anyways I always give people rides aslong as their destination is reasonable or am headed that way.

She tried to make me pay for a damage that wasn't on her vehicle. She made the mistake and I stopped my car just in time. It barely touched hers. Not even a scratch was done to her vehicle but she tried to hustle me. Now I treat all Somali people including old hooyos the same.

Not yet, but it was raining once and this islaan was walking to her house, I ran up to her and offered her my umbrella. She looked surprised and said 'adna?' taking it slowly like it was strange act but I was like waa caadi, so walked home soaked. I would've felt worse if I hadnt stopped tbh

Once I was waved down by a odey but didn't stop for him and after about 100yards I guess what I got flat tire odey caught up with me and said are you ok adeer, :snoop:

Ahh that's what you get for being xasid. As for me never. Unless they ask for a lift I don't approach them.

Sadly I was xasiid thinking this odey was gonna ask me to take him to another area, you know when Somali elder gets hold of you you can't see say no or refuse. :down:

I bought him costa coffee if that counts




Of course, you have to be extremely stone hearted to drive by an elderly in bad weather. If I was an 80 year old walking through rain, I would want somebody to do the same for me as well.

If that was me, I'd have locked the car and bolted before facing him :lol:
Bro I felt so a embarrassed and ashamed, and what made it worse was he just wanted to use my phone (as his stopped working somehow) to get hold of his son :meles:

In xamar I gave about a dozen lifts a day, at most checkpoints you will have people sitting down waiting for a lift, sometimes on the road you get flagged down by a soldier and you think you're in the trouble only to be asked for a lift, one time I let some guy in and my cousin was in the car, he jumped up like how do u know he isn't a suicide bomber, I had to check if he wasn't carrying anything

Naw I don't; however, let's say someone stops me at a store or mall and tells me they're going to such and such place, and it's convenient for me, I will most likely take them. I won't stop people walking down the street though.

Not just people, old people. And I don't chase them asking if they need a ride? if I am on a stop and the weather is bad.
