I volunteered to help out Jeff Bridge on his first trip to NyC. I had no idea I would be stuck with his expenses of gas, tolls, food, parking in NYC. Besides that, He took with him an expensive ($100.00) logo sweater (Human Rights Campaign), which I let him wear, but told him he had to return. On top of it he asked to barrow a theft prevention metal snake to attached to his Lab Top for safety (cost me $99.00) He also took that with him. Did not return.
I had no idea this man of 36 years, weights around 300 lbs. He could not carry bags, walk fast and needed to sleep in a king size bed. This and many things he never told me. But when he arrived at La Guardia, He said he was broke! He was warned that the Good Samaritan had stopped working and was in disability. He had to pay for the car expenses, tolls, gas, parking, incidentals. The Samaritan would let him stay one night at his home. His way of getting money was to raffle a Lab Top, which I was asked to help him sell the tickets. He said that as soon as money from the raffle tickets came through on Saturday (this was Thurs.) he would take care of me." Not to Worry" He used a credit card for the $9.00 parking toll out of La Guardia, but that is the only thing he paid in the 3 days I helped him with everything. I used 100 miles from the trips from La Guardia to Bay ridge Brooklyn to pick up boxes he had sent. Then Staten Island, Then Brooklyn, then down town Manhattan, then the Javitt's Center. This went on for 3 days and he wanted me to continue a fourth day, but by that time I was exshausted and feeling sick from carrying his stuff in the rain and driving him around. I also found out he accidentally had given me a purse which contained $100.00 in singles. I found it while I was looking form parking in chelsea, because it's cheaper there and free if you get lucky. To tghn come back to Javit's Center by bus. I returned his $100.00 dollars. Stupid Samaritan.
