  • Up here in Boston, you get hit up for "$0.50" for the subway, or $5 for the bus to Worchester or Providence. Typically the person has some change already in their hand.

    Once me and a group of friends years ago got hit up for $20 for a bus ticket for a "family" stuck in Boston. A year later the same guy was giving the same spiel around the same location.

    • Yeah, when I was at Boston U, there was some guy who always hung around near Simmons, between BU and NEU, saying he was a student and needed some cash to deal with a flat. After the first time, it was just amazing that this guy would be there all the time with the same damn story!
