The collections agent...I am going find you and you are going to pay

So this is my first post. We would have posted sooner but we wer on a vacation from the world wide web for while. We were at our favorite grocery store the other day, as we were leaving the store and reading a text from The Nurse we almost walked into a cement column. As we regained our compsure and trying once again to text and walk we were approched by a very energetic man. The man said " Excuse me sir!" we turned around and found this man was approaching faster than we could run away with our groceries in hand, so we said "yes?" The man said "I have a question for you". We said "okay..." The man said "Can you help me jump my car?" We explained to the man that we did not have a set of jumper cables in our car. the man said "I have some, so can you help me?" innocently we replied "sure where is your vehicle". The man said it was just down the road. While we were walking to my car the man inquired "Do you love Jesus" We said "yes" The man persisted "for real?" We again said yes. The man "than exclaimed "Praise the Lord! I have been praying and asking God for help. I am really in some trouble." We reached our vehicle and we wer trying to keep the man out of our car. We opened our trunk and of coarse it was full. So we went to the rear door and as we tried to start loading our vehicle the man budged his way past us and said here let me help. It was too late there was nothing seperating him and the passenger side seat. So as we walked the empty cart to a safe place the man waited. we returned to the vehicle and said to the man "we want to help you but we would prefer that you not ride in our vehicle with us." The man was upset and persisted that he would not harm me and that it offended him that I would think that he would. we said fine well where is your car. He pointed up the street torwards bailey and said "its right over there". Okay so we stepped into the vehicle and the man starts telling me how a friend swindled him and stole his paycheck and how he is out of gas and that a taxi cab driver stated he will help him get to and from a gas station if he could only find some money to buy the gas. we informed the man that I did not have any cash on us and in fact we didn't even have enough money in the bank to be able to get money out of an atm. By now we were by Toms Restaurant. The man's car was near UB South, not very close at all. So once the man realized we did not have any money for him he became upset and was no longer a nice christian brother. He started to ask us if I could get a cash advance off of one of our credit cards for him. we told him we could not do that. So he asked if I could drop him off at the tops on maple. As we were driving to Tops the man said "will you at least buy me some cigerettes so that we can give them to the taxi cab driver so he can help me" we again said no. The man said I am starving will you at least buy me some food from mcdonalds. we said we can do that. we bought the man a strawberry milkshake, double cheeseburger and some fries. As the man shoveled them into his mouth, we drove back to Tops where the man became aggravated because we weren't getting him there any faster. So we finally arrived at Tops. we prayed for the man and he jumped out of our vehicle and that is hopefully the last we will see of him.
