Okay so I have an oddball neighbor, she's older and had some brain trauma in her younger years, her claim, not my assumption. I have a lot of trouble understanding her due to my own tinnitus and her smokers scratchy voice mixed with a little country twang and lack of teeth. So when she talks I only catch about a quarter of what she's saying and sometimes I realize days later what she meant. She typically flags me down every few days for a ride when I'm pulling in to our joined driveway. Sometimes she just hops in my car and says nothing.
I'm doing my kid drop off at school and upon my return she hops in my car wanting to go to the gas station. We get there, she takes a few minutes inside after she borrows a dollar from me. Comes out and said no one is working. I ask if she wants to go somewhere else, while we're pulling out of the lot, she said "no I got my fireball" shows me a small bottle of her liquor. She didn't give me my dollar back, hopefully she left it on the counter?
TL;DR my neighbor bums rides and money, brought her to the gas station where she says no one was working but she got what she needed and showed me her liquor bottle...not sure if she paid for it, I was the getaway driver.

If she didn’t pay for it, it would be considered 2nd degree burglary. A misdemeanor in most states. I did 5 days in the county and 8 days of community service 30 years ago for something similar.
