What are examples of begging techniques!

[Sidney]

1.From chicas, ''sin pesos! 2.Moto concho stops and says he needs medicine for his child. 3.Bank Guard at Scotia Bank asking for money

On my last trip 3 weeks ago I went to the movies at Playa Dorado. Apon returning to the car, the security guard asked if he could have some pesos because he watched my car for me.

how about no begging at all. that woman that runs around doing the shit with the beads entwined in some hair thing. sitting out on the sidewalk on PC a few weeks ago, she takes the damn hat off my head from behind and ducks away out of my reach. i tell her i want my damn hat back, but to no avail.

comes back at me a minute or two later with some beads woven through probably her hair (hanging from my damn hat!) and demands 500 pesos, for the beautiful "gift" she has given me!

ahhhh "NO".........i throw her 50 just to get her away.......after much debating of course...they're all pretty good at that

I've ran into her several times. She is Haitain and offers to bead me with the reasoning that is for 'good luck'.

The trip before when I ran into her I just gave her a 25 peso coin and waved her off. This trip I see her again and she wants to bead me but I always have a buzz cut so there is no hair to bead. She offers to put a bead on the AI band on my wrist, so I agree (thinking that I will pay her 100 pesos).

So she installs the bead and I give her the 100 pesos, and she says "that will be 10 dollars", I think WTF and say "I am not paying 10 bucks for one minute of work". She accepts the 100 pesos.

I know she has to make a living but there is a line between need and greed.

And also I forgot the number one rule of Sosua-always agree on a price before you purhase something.............even if it is for a cheap bead and a tiny peice of string .

If you ever go into La Canita in POP there's this great old Dominican Guy sitting on a white bucket watching cars. I'm there at least twice a week and he always puts his bucket in front of my mine. Sat. he gets his regular tip, and only after my amiga gets into the car he say's to me; when you get tired of her let me know, I have a grand daughter I want you to meet. For 25 peso tip with a thank you, there are somethings that never change in this country

On one trip to Sosua I was pissing on the side of the bank. Not my normal MO but I just had to go right away. The guard says that he is going to get in trouble and asked me for some money. I walked away.

I won't need it, plus my driver is going to Cuba.

Nearly everyone you will meet here will ask for money or to borrow money at some point in time. I don't have too much trouble saying no anymore. Everybody is in need here...

Usually when a Haitian person asks me for money, they cannot look me in the eye and they start to stutter a bit. Dominicans are typically much more bold and come right out and ask and often they seem very sincere about a family members illness or such and their plans to pay back soon or not pay back at all...just "I need for..."

and our part time wingman is coming to cuba as well..........now if we can just get him aboard

Thought of this recent story in SN. Instead of being asked for some money next time, you may have 10 moto conchos blasting their horns at you!

There was a crackhead like chica tha asked me for 500!

A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a ''happy hour''. I kicked them out after they demanded more money. Within 24 hours, both had ask me for ''sin pesos''

There is a middle aged Dominican that was begging for money for ''a teen drug rehab''. then he switched to Haiti earthquake relief. Now he is back to his drug rehab scam!

He has been doing that for years I see in in POP now.What about the lady that always has the small kid thats needs money for food she has been working that for years I have never seen her with the same kid.

Obviously the rehabilitation center was destroyed by the earthquake, thus the need to shift priorities.

Why must you be so cynical, Sidney?
