EVERY Dominican I have attempted to have any sort of acquaintance/friendship with has asked me at least once for money. I don't live an extravagant life or drive a fancy car. I'm very low key and pretty much keep to myself. Why is it they insist on asking me for money? I made the mistake of loaning US$150 to a "friend" so his "wife" could get an ultrasound. He said he'd pay it back in a week and sure enough he did. But that seems to have opened up the flood banks as he now thinks I'm his personal ATM. I haven't loaned him a dime since then but that hasn't stopped him from asking. And EVERY time I say no he gets all sad-eyed and walks away with his head down like I just scolded him. A grown freakin' man acting like a twelve year old. What's with these people!!!

There... I feel better now. Thanks for listening.
