Uninvited Stranger Caught Me Off Guard!

- n today's episode of Wranglerstar, an unexpected visitor interrupts my day while I'm busy building on the cozy cabin. This uninvited stranger catches me off guard and asks me for diesel. I was appalled because he had a truck with a brand new kayak and bike on the roof rack! My response? "Sell your kayak and buy diesel." Needless to say, he didn't appreciate my answer and moved on down the road.
Left in shock at his audacity, I started to reconsider his way of life. Could it be better? Roaming free, unburdened by job or family obligations, and living without the weight of mortgage debt. This encounter made me reflect deeply on what it means to live a satisfying life.
Join me as I puzzle out who might be living the more fulfilling life: me, a man of responsibility, or him, a man living more carefreely.
Don't miss this thought-provoking episode! - บันเทิง
He was scouting your property. Prepare accordingly.
calm down batman.
Yep
Yep.
Agree,
No he wasn't, stop being so paranoid. This isn't a movie bro
Imagine being so entitled that you can’t even be bothered to walk up someone when you ask for a handout. Someone calling you over to them is always a red flag
ikr.
Good point.
He probably wouldn’t have lifted the gas can either.
One time I was getting gas early in the morning after a double shift. Random dude approaches asking for cash. I said I didnt have any. He asked if i could go get some from the ATM. Always amazed at this kind of person. Unreal.
Security alert just went to extreme high
paranoid freak
Y’all are nutty.
Yeah case the joint
what bothers me most about these kind of people is that they cant even bother to ACT humble in order to get what they want, only to move on with the same sleazy attitude to the next person too good natured to say no despites the disrespectful attitude
“Sure do have diesel, it’s $15.00 per gallon”
you're a goober too.
I appreciate you standing your ground! I detest a free loader!
I have come to realize America is FULL of professional freeloaders. It disgusts me. Curches give away food during the week, and these people line up on every day. Offer a decent item for sale - like a wheelbarrel - for $20 - and you might get a few responses. Offer it free and your inbox will fill with people who don't even need the damn thing. I just gave away some filing cabinets, and the woman wanted to know if I had a lock for the one she was taking. I told her they sell them in stores. F'in freeloaders!!
Keep your eyes open. Be aware !
I was driving my tractor in my field one day. A car pulled up at the end of the field as I was working. The driver motions for me to stop and come down to talk to him. With a bit of hesitation and a kind of stern look on my face I oblige him, as I walk up he doesn’t say “Hello” or “how’s it going “ no, no he says “Do you have a job for me?” Dumbfounded I said nothing and returned to my work.
Show him your biggest bull and tell him to go milk it.
At least he was willing to work. He was better than most.
@@dejavu666wampas9 I guess so lol. How low the bar has sunk
Couldn't agree more with your action....very wise.
I can see myself reacting in multiple ways. I trust your instincts on this guy
Waving you over? Yeah that's the wrong approach.
You were 100% right, the way you handled it! He's just proof of what happens when you're coddled, and entitled! And not to mention, no manners, or class for that matter.
...back in the old days we used to share with our community... offer help to strangers...
Don't be naive, he didn't need any diesel, recon on you, your property and belongings.
100%. That’s a classic hood move.
Absolutely right.
The entitlement is disgusting, it’s all about approach! He definitely didn’t act accordingly!
Help is one thing, feeling entitled enough to assume people will just give you want they worked for... no.
I never approach a guy at my gate without the proper tool with me . Act appropriately.
"Can I interest you in some jellybeans, mister?"
scardey cat booooohoooo
Totally agree with everything you said in this one. I'm tired of people expecting others to just hand over what they have worked for.
Exactly. “Barter, sure. Sell, better. But Give , never. “. That was my dad’s motto.

@@mikechevreaux7607exactly.
You mean, like the government?
God bless you for standing your ground, doing the right thing by telling him to sell his kayak and buy some diesel,, stay frosty
There was a homeless guy hanging around our parking lot asking for handouts. Heard the manager at Taco Bell offered him a job to help get back on his feet. He declined and haven't seen him since
Most homeless are that way for a reason. And the long term ones it's not most it's all. It's not hard for someone willing to work to get back on their feet.
Lots of people just plain don’t want to work
Get the hell off my property and don't ever come back .
In England we call that a 'no good, SCROUNGER'. You did the right thing to send him on his way with a lesson.
Mostly they'd get called ponce, scroungers a bit middle class. 😂😂
He wants that sweet white diesel.
Proho never gives strangers survival supplies
He was audacious; and, manners cost absolutely nothing - I agree with Wranglerstar on this one!
I’m the same way. Approach me in a time of need and I’d drop everything to help. His attitude however, left a lot to be desired. I think you did the absolute right thing, sending him on his way. Like others have said, for all you know, he may have been scouting.
I used to live literally with the Appalachian Trail bordering my back yard. I used to keep a stockpile of spare tent stakes, repair kits and even some spare tents I bought for cheap when I worked at a local sporting goods store (floor models).
I did however, have some unsavory characters, not only trespass, but were unapologetic for doing so and almost ‘demanding’ my kindness. Those were people I said no to.
You were absolutely correct in telling him to sell his kayak for some diesel. What a jerk thinking people would just give him free fuel in this day and age.
Probably works half the time, for little effort investment for him. Almost clear profit.
Should have gave him gasoline and told him it was diesel
Big difference between someone asking and demanding. BIG difference...
I don't think I've ever noticed a log cabin with the angled cuts around the windows and doors.... Nice touch, I love it
Much better lateral view.👍
Helping a man who is down is not the same as helping a freeloader stay a freeloader. One is picking a man up, and the other is allowing him to stay down. Act accordingly friends.
This is the new thing in Fort Worth TX: at a gas station, people come up and ask you to fill up their tank
Been That Way For Many Years In California.
Usually, The Gas ⛽ Thief Gets a Cute "Damsel In Distress," To Go Up To You Wanting To Fill Up a 1 - 5 Gal Gas Can.

After His Tank Is Full He Leaves.
Just say no to fill there tank
He on a recon to see what you have worth of stealing. Suns down guns around.
If someone is genuinely in a hard spot by accident, absolutely help them. Somebody cruising around living off other people's generosity is not cool. Don't care if he gets away with it, that is dishonorable.
The minute I hear "Bro" I am done with the conversation.
Seriously 😂
But Bro….
Good luck speaking to anyone from the SouthWestern US
The second I hear beloved I’m done 😂

Took a sec., but I got it. Good movie.
It's a west coast thing, we southerners don't understand
Naw down here in SC he may have gotten shot before being able to ask
@@jasonsox2857west coast man will never understand the east coast man 😂😂
Down here "bro, you got any diesel" means druggie.
We call it freeloading in the south.....
We all find ourselves in need of help at some point. However, the only proper attitude when asking someone to sacrifice his resources, time and/or effort on our behalf is one of humility and gratitude. Had this character adopted such an approach when requesting your assistance, Cody, I have no doubt that his outcome would have been a more auspicious one.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, "The world doesn't owe you anything, it was here first."
Maybe he was casing your joint... I would be on the lookout for a return visit when the sun goes down.

@@jacob1121A astute observation
A lone farmworker was approached in the field by 2 men on foot (Central Calif near I-5, early 1970's). They asked for water and while one drinker held the jug to his lips, he threw the bottle towards the worker and was simultaneously jumped on by the other. FFWD, my police chief godfather was telling my dad of two men who walked into the doctor's office sporting horrible slashes. The doctor called the police and while they were being treated an officer arrived to see what was going on. They refused to give any info. A few minutes later, the farmworker arrived at the PD to file a report of an attempted robbery. He got the best of them, swing his shovel like a battle axe and inflicted some serious injury.
Bro, my pronouns are “sir” or “mister”.
The correct way to approach is hey can I give you an hour's work for maybe a couple gallons of diesel you did the right thing and tell him to kick rocks
Seen a tik tok video earlier of a guy who dropped his JBL speaker into his engine bay then forgot about, started truck and destroyed it. He then retrieved it, tore all to pieces but still worked. He then proceeds to say “So JBL, you gonna give me a new speaker?”. Like he deserved it but of course an account presumingly JBL responded like a typical simp company and was like “Oh yeah well send you one because you deserve it.” I had to eye roll. He didn’t deserve it and the way he just expected another speaker for HIS ignorance. Sick of the entitled generation. Of course they are gonna keep asking if we keep giving our earnings away. Freeloaders and lazy
Stay strapped and keep the cameras rolling.
I think you acted wisely. Giving to someone in need is gracious but giving to someone that is simply entitled is stupidity.
The gall of having you walk to where he was!
I’m scared for this country.
As I read these comments and see more people with a similar mindset as us, I think the country will be just fine
He gave it his best shot and you did exactly what I would have done
Your homestead seems like it isn't that accessible. Be wary. He may also have been scouting your area. CYA 🏴☠️
He was not what you thought he was. He was there on purpose. Be careful.
could be phishing too see if he can get some diesel from your stock so then he knows you have a lot in storage to come back and rob a lot more useing a syphen and a tank on the back of a pickup. seem them do it herd of it and it happens in england along with car part thef like cutting caterlitic converters off. whos to know though but given how it was asked and the lack of compeling situtional surcumstance and just seeming to be casualy asking for a free top up i would have said the same. watch your storage cody he might be sniffing around for someone to rob hopefully not
As soon as he said “hey bro “, to start the conversation , …
he lost all credibility as a man and instantly comes across as an entitled punk.
Explain how saying “bro” displays entitlement.🤣
@@ConnorAdamz because he didn't know Cody, had never met him. it is disrespectful and shows the attitude of many in the current generation.
@@AkornzStash Making him walk to the car and asking for free diesel was disrespectful. Saying “bro” is an abbreviation of brother which isn’t disrespectful in any sense.
@@ConnorAdamz I think Cody said the guy was a millenial...so YOUNGER than Cody. Being respectful of those older than we are begins with our parents. I was taught to refer to adults as "SIR" or "MA'Am". The 5th commandment says we are to "HONOR" our parents. To this day if I approach an older person...a police officer or fireman (who risk it all for others)...a person in the military I will call them "sir...or Ma'am) to show respect for them. In the old testament we read that Elihu, who was young, waited patiently for the men in the group to talk. Most of today's young people (NOT ALL) were not raised to respect older people or people who put their life on the line 5 and 6 days a week for us. I know this won't get solved via comments but wanted to oopine.
@@brentf2531 If I go to Home Depot and ask a worker “Hey bro I’m having trouble finding this product could you help me?” Am I being an entitled punk? The irony in the original comment is that he believes he’s entitled to be called “Sir”.
Unfortunately in today’s society kindness is seen as a sign of weakness 🇬🇧
I would have lifted my T-shirt , shown him all my edc’s , pocket watch and all , said be off with you and act accordingly!!!
Reminds me of my conversation with a millenial coworker of mine who thought he could just roll up to anyone's house and plug in his EV. He said, 'you know you can charge them anywhere there is an electrical outlet.' I told him the guy running the amps into your battery isn't going to feel so hot about that.
Probably would have offered him some diesel in exchange for a little work. With that being said, a guy who just asks for it typically isn’t the type to agree to it.
Answered my door the other day unarmed. I thought it was my neighbor so I was totally off guard. Anyway you handled it perfectly.
The fact that the guy beckoned you to come to him instead of approaching you in a friendly manner and offering to barter something, or to work for the diesel fuel, says loud and clear that he is nothing more than a mooch.
I would have pointed him down the road as well.
And he motioned YOU to come to him!
A quality example of adult boy behaviour...
I’m from a hard-working family and a smart working family and we all have supported ourselves all of our lives but I have a niece that rides around in a hippie bus on a shoestring and I think she’s happier than all of us. She is just living the dream no stress there’s something to be said for it.
Young people can get away with that. People consider it adventurous, free spirited, "finding yourself". But when you're 50 it's considered pathetic.

Twice I've had someone drive up, keep their motor running and, sitting on the opposite side of their vehicle from me (making me have to approach in order to hear), ask for either gas or money for same. In both cases, when denied, they blasted off in a noisy departure. Yep, thanks for confirming my suspicions!
you had good discernment in my opinion , in this situation...thank you for sharing.
I guarantee you that attitude is directly related to how he can afford all of that crap. Seriously, people unafraid and expectant with the ask get way farther than the timid who never summon the courage to ask for a pittance.
at the company I work for as a cabinetmaker/handyman(36+ years) a 22 yr old in shipping dept says he wants to work with and learn from me the skills of the trade - kid barely knows what end of the screwdriver to hold to drive screws - after working with me part time and eventually stopping I asked him if he was still interested in learning - his problem is he doesn't want to put forth the effort to learn - but his response to me was, "You know what to do if you want me over there to work with you - tell the boss (same boss for us both) that you need help and ask to have me moved over." What an arrogant answer - same as this guy calling you to him asking if you have any diesel.........
Scouting.... Act accordingly
Next project on the list: privacy fence
Agree with how you handled that and how you’d have helped him if he approached you differently.
I appreciate the honesty. It's better than pretending you're bad off, so taking advantage of people would be easier. I still understand your point.
Glad you shared the video, reminds me of people buying drugs and alcohol, and then have no money for gasoline.
Bravo 👍ITS A DISGRACE
Should have gave him the Gospel. I’m sure that is what he really needed.
The kids shirt.. hahaha
“ tell us you actually read the comments, without saying you read the comments “ 😊
No respect, and you acted accordingly 👍
(Rude!) That was incredibly rude. If my elders heard me do anything similar, they would tan my hide growing up.
You made the right call.
Watch your property the next couple of days
Government surveillance employee maybe?
100%
No need to send a human. The got satellites for that. Besides, it’s not like Cody lives off the beaten path.
@@easypeasy2938 Satellites can only do so much. Humint is still used.
@@easypeasy2938 you cant say anything about what the government, theives, or any nefarious intentioned group or individual would or would not do...not with any confidence you can't. Sky is the limit on the information gathering......."machine" "apparatus". Whatever we want to call it. Not just our government to consider either.
Covernment surveillance is not so ,so handicap. They have better ways to do that for sure....
Hey, I have that same shirt 😉 Hello from Libby, Montana. The Cabin is looking great and I am glad we got to do this Project with you 👍
Cody you did the right thing 👏
Every situation is different , each man must do his own thing and pick his own road.
That's what "No Trespassing" signs are for.
People always want something for nothing
I think if he got that far up your property you have a security issue 😅
Waved you over? What is this, Jack in the Box drive-through?

What does that mean?
@@yeboscrebo4451 I think cheekiness in that vein is kinda like presumptive boldness...chutzpah.
Halt. Then the sound of an mp40.. Now I like that description.
you sir are so correct . i guess we do not understand the new generation . i have been taken a few times . but feels so good to help . as i am 87 . diffrent generation . god bless you and family
A few years ago, while working in Eugene Oregon downtown I was walking past a homeless guy around 25 30 years old sitting on the sidewalk. As I pass, he asks me if I have any money he could have. I told him I have no money on me. He replied, ''Get a better job!''
It’s a good exercise to consider others’ points of view, and their views on how life should proceed. Even if the alternate view is not accepted after some consideration, your understanding of his and your situations is improved.
I had something similar happen recently. Was walking into a gas station to pre-pay saw a guy sitting outside the gas station office.
I was readying my response to what I was sure would be a request for spare change when he asked, “ do you have an extra twenty to share?”…
Inflation is hitting everywhere I guess…
I agree with you. Apalling.
The kid shirt got me😂
Sounds like you handled it appropriately.
I’d have given him some , if I had it to spare , then I’d have take him hostage , by taking my time and telling him , next time he puts the kayak in, to see how water is level, then, tell him a story about Jesus on stormy water.
I bet by the time I’m got done filling up that can and talking , and of course , it’s my can, I have to help to put it in your vehicle, more time more witnessing and being a light.
When I was done , he’d have a lot to think about, I may have planted a seed , or watered one.
We’re called to be “ Fishers of men, not Keepers of aquariums “!
Love how regardless of situation or what you feel at the moment, you are always able to disconnect and “debrief” yourself. I agree with some of the things you say and disagree with others, but I do believe I need to be more like you.
Can confirm, Cody is a very generous man.
Sounds bit scary. I think this is a security issue not just about diesel. You might need a gate or something..
That's West Coast for you . . . 😂
In all honesty, yes. As is probably true where you are, in East TN even a meth head would have been super respectful and apologetic. He would have offered anything he had on him at the time, including to work or help in some way. Our folks can be knuckleheads when they think no one is watching but always super respectful face to face. Its also true that an armed society is a polite society…and we just expect it here that every man, woman and child carries.
Definitely worth sharing! I agree with you and think you nailed it. Help someone when they are down but don’t make begging a valid career .
Cabin looks skookum!
I see what you did there, Cody. Framed the video on a kid wanting free diesel, but it was really to get back at those making fun of your child sized shirt. Bravo. Bravo.
Oregon... case closed.
No, all good, you are spot on as usual!
I think diesel is slang for weed 😂😂😂
