What would you have done? (Ethics Question)

[juicepouch]

My grandfather once told me to never carry anything in public so expensive that I can't replace it. Thus I have a shitty slide phone that was probably cool like 10 years ago lol, I doubt anybody would steal it so I guess I would let them. However, I agree with @EGP Wonder_Chef's idea. Asking for collateral is a great way to weed out people who actually need help vs scammers

It's easy to be reluctant to give your phone to strangers in hindsight. But hindsight is 20/20. As embarrassed as I am to say, this concept hadn't ever crossed my mind, as I'm always eager to help people in distress, even when it's logically best to not do so. I can sit here and say it's easy to prevent this from happening by saying no. But I can't shake my nature. And when I'm not thinking, generosity is always my first instinct.

Luckily I haven't been robbed before. It's due in part to how I look IRL. I'm tall, buff, and badass. While people who know me know me, others see me walk with my motherfucker face on.

To all of you douches who would say no to someone who is asking for a simple help just because you don't know him, or because of the 0,1% risk to get robbed, or just because you are douches or for whatever reason: I hope you get babalited next time!
