i totally agree Kieth .Keith B wrote:All jesting aside, there are legitimate times folks ask for directions. Being in Condition Yellow when out and about is good , but unless there are other things that push the level to Condition Orange, then don't assume everyone is up to no good just because they ask a question of you. I have had people approach me because they needed information and I looked like the safest person to ask, even above the clerks in the convenience store.USA1 wrote:funny that i'm reading this as i just came from a gas station where i was approached by a guy asking for directions .
i almost drew down on him , till i saw his wife and kid waiting in the car .
i still didn't trust him
i may have enhanced the story a little bit .
my real problem is that i am too trusting . i just like to see the good in people .
but in the back of my mind , i sometimes picture how a seemingly nonthreatening person can turn on you
once they have gained your trust .
