College girl immediately regrets offering to pay for a struggling stranger's groceries after they dash back into the store to gather more supplies: 'I am just a poor freshman who was just trying to do something nice'

Nothing says, "Welcome to the world," quite like a college freshman realizing that strangers will usually take advantage of generosity. Not every person that you lend a helping hand is gracious enough to know when to stop taking, so when this young woman offered to pay for a stranger's groceries when her card declined, she was flummoxed when she audaciously ran back to grab a few more 'free' supplies.

Well, when you're surviving on instant ramen noodles and late-night study sessions, every dollar counts. And even the most generous young person would struggle to loosen their fist around their cash stipends, but when you see a person in need in the world, perhaps society would benefit from a little more folks like u/PrancingKangaroo68.

Granted, it's a bitter pill to swallow about the realities of the world, but this generous young woman learned how her generosity might have just saved another desperate person's week. In one fell swoop, she learned to set her own boundaries while appreciating her advantages in the world—that's one lesson you'll miss in Humanities 101.
