I don't buy a word of this. That fourth paragraph is an over the top perfect storm of woe-is-me.
> I'm completely broke due to poor financial decisions (that's a different story), so I can't afford a last minute plane ticket. It doesn't help that this is a small airport, so ticket prices are high. So basically I've been stuck at the airport for the past 3 days. Yesterday, my credit card started being declined, so I've had to eat scraps from other customers.
A mild troll, but SE still got trolled.

I guess I should clarify. Responses below are right, it's not hard to believe that there are people without savings, I've also been in that boat.
But this portion has nothing to do with the point of the post; given the outrageous nature of the post in the first place, this smells to me like a sob element to hook more people in.
Every part of the post is hyperbolic. "I blew every question and I could tell that they didn't like me personally." Really, every single one? Oh, and now they decide they don't like you even though you've gotten to the stage where they flew you across the country??
Laying everything on this thick just doesn't increase credibility for me. It makes me suspicious.
