Today while I was on break I went to go stop at Checker's to get lunch because it's close by and fairly affordable.
The lady in front of me was trying to pay for herself and her kids, but her card declined due to it being expired.
I offered to pay for her, but she stated that she'd be fine, and could call her husband. I still insisted and paid for her and her kids, especially since it was busy and I didn't want the line to be held up, rendering the staff more stressed.
The thing is...that was my last $50...I'm broke. Her and her family were clearly more well off than I was, and it would've been better if I'd let her husband walk in and pay for them.
Why the hell did I do that? I was charitable to someone who didn't need the charity. Why do I feel the need to martyr myself for everyone?
I didn't give her a kindness, I only screwed myself.
Now I'm extra broke and hungry.
I'm such an irresponsable dumbass.
In any case...uh...
Anyone want to commission a moron?

Happens to a lot of people. Don't be too hard on yourself!
It was still a good act, you're far better than anyone else who where in this line and did nothing.
It may be irresponsible, but it doesn't mean you *are* irresponsible, even more when you forgot that it was your last change! :)

Nah dude I'm a fucking shitheel. Most of that money was going to go to groceries so I could feed myself until payday, but now I've gotta starve til Tuesday. I'm an actual moron.
This is just another lesson, though. The lack of food will assist in letting that lesson sink in.
