No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
This person recalls a shopping trip with their mom. Apparently, there was a man sitting in a wheelchair with a charity collection tin. Their sweet mom put money in it. However, she quickly noticed that it was a can of coke. Not only that, but this man wasn’t asking for money at all.
Talk about embarrassment! Mom assumed that this man in a wheelchair needed money. Who knows why he was in a wheelchair, to begin with? Perhaps he was injured in an accident and is on the road to recovery. There’s the possibility that he’s permanently disabled, but you shouldn’t assume that he’s asking for charity. Assuming never ends well.
