Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I had just gotten off of work and I'm on the way to Burger King to get some food before I head back to my apartment for the night. Considering it's late at night, the BK at that point had closed the dining room but still had the drive through available. I go through the drive through and as I'm waiting for my food, this woman walks up and knocks on my window and when I roll it down she says in a sobbing voice, "Hey, I didn't realize that they closed the dining room so early, I ran out of gas and am really hungry. Do you mind buying me a 10 piece or 2 of the nuggets so I can eat?" I was kind of hesitant at first and she saw this and says, "I just need some food because I'm stuck here and I ran out of gas and I don't live too far away from here." This is when I say, "If you would like, I can give you a couple bucks in gas instead, that might be able to help you more. But I would like to pay for it in person rather than just give you the money." She then proceeds to say, "Forget it. All I needed was some food until I got some gas," and just walks off all pissed off.

Now I know, I don't know her circumstances and I don't know much about her. She also implied that I would buy the nuggets because just giving her the money won't help because she can't get in and you can't walk through the drive through. She also was not very big nor was she very skinny either, so going a few hours longer without food wouldn't have killed her. But here's my reasoning behind why I did it, if you only live "not too far" away, then surely the money I would pay for the nuggets would give you enough gas to get home to get food &amp; money. Granted it only would've been 3-4 dollars, but here that's over a gallon of gas and most cars get above 17-20 miles per gallon which would've been plenty given the area we are in.

So AITA and if so, what can I do better next time?
