On Bonfire night I gave a gentleman £9. He told his story, of arriving at Leeds University for an interview as a music teacher, and how at this time his car was unfortunately stolen (with all his money having been left in the glovebox). He then went on to tell me how he had contacted the police and he wanted me to help. So feeling on the spot, I gave this man all the money I had and thought nothing of it. It was only till yesterday (four months on) that I found out this man is in fact homeless (kicking myself) after he comes back to me with the same story.
I feel like a right mug.
