What irks me is when complete strangers (and newbies) ask me for lindens. If they ask for a small amount and I'm feeling generous then I might give them a few extra lindens if I can spare them.

But if its a large amount... no way ^^

I have a constant offer of babysitter job, for anyone who needs to make a few extra Lindendollars. It's a super-easy job, too, because I keep the little bugger in a box most of the time.

I've noticed a really funny trick that is played in clubs. The perpatrator announces out loud, "thanks for all the ratings, sorry I'm too broke to rate anyone back. Now the first time it happened, I gave $L20. When the perp said thank you to everyone, I realized that I probably wasn't the only one giving him way more than the needed $3, and some probably as much as $100. Just think what a nice pot that person walks away with.

I have to say, when someone who I thought was a cool person asks for money, it lessens how I think of them. I just buy Lindens at IGE when I run low on money. It's cheaper than a movie and dinner and much more palatable.

I think if they were to say, "any odd jobs I do for some money" and it would be more reasonable.
