d'oh!
A 45-year-old advertising executive from New York was asked by a beggar for some money, and because she had no cash on her and wanted to help him, she let him borrow her American Express Platinum card.
The man then disappeared down the block and everyone who saw her give the card to him “said they thought that was the dumbest thing, that there’s a fine line between charity and stupidity,” Harris, global business director for the JWT advertising agency, told the Post.
The beggar did return with the credit card after around 10 minutes, but that does not make her action any less stupid. It just makes her lucky. Lucky that he didn’t ask for her apartment keys.
And isn’t it surprising that a person who made such a dumb decision is the global business director of a company? You’d think she would be brighter.
