Imagine this ! You have no money and you are stuck on the dubai bus stop and you have to make your way back home to sharjah. Trust me , Its not really as adventurous and exciting as it sounds .

Me and my 3 friends were on the way back from a picnic , we reached the bus stop and figured out we were 3 dirhams short on our 4th ticket . ( TIP : Keep your travel money safe and seperate rite from the start ).

We though of going and asking some one for cash , but our ego was just a little too much to ask any one for cash . We were wondering what to do . I decided to call a friend of mine and ask him to drop in 3 bucks ( that was embrassing , but I had to do it ) . He was cool about it but he told it would be 30 minutes before he could make it. We were like OK , I was ready to wait . Rather late then never . I had no intentions of sleeping on the bus stop for the night or calling up my dad and asking him to come pick me up . The consequences would be dangerous .

We thought of a plan in the meanwhile  . We sent the most little member of our friends 15 year old to the main cabin and asked him to pretend as if he lost his wallet and had to make his way to sharjah and make a cute little cuddly face in distress . He did it and it worked .  The generous arab gave him 5 bucks , he bought a ticket and boarded the bus. We boarded the next bus and went home .

It happened for the first time to me , I hope it happens never again though .

Moral of the story : Keep your travel money safe no matter what !
