person A: My brother is about to find out that I had to steal $20 from him to pay for gas_comma_ since I was in such a bind. He's gonna be so mad at me
person B: Did you really steal it or was it more like borrowing without asking first?
person A: Kind of the latter... But still_comma_ I feel grimy about it. I just had no other alternative. I'm between jobs_comma_ and I needed gas to get to a job interview. We'll see how he reacts_comma_ but he has a short fuse.
person B: Hmmmm. with no job and no way to pay it back I sure hope he can be understanding.
