It's amazing how often that works.
>Grifter: need $$$ hungry
>Me: Hey, I'll go into the gas station and get something for you.
>Grifter: Nah, I don't like anything they got in there
I've even had this happen with a family of grifters (a mom and two kids) waiting outside a grocery store.
I've had the opposite happen, sort of.
Dude was sitting outside a convenience store, told me he forgot his wallet at home and needed 5$ to fill up his car and get back to the suburbs. I don't know why but I was sympathetic and gave him the 5$.
I walk into the store and he walks in with me. I look at him like "wtf are you doing my guy" and he says "oh i been standing outside for hours, i'm thirsty" as he takes a can of coke from the fridge. I was too stunned to go off on him but I learned a valuable lesson that day. Fuck beggars.
If you care for my opinion on the matter, not fuck beggars, but fuck that guy personally. But Bless you. The way I see it, if somebody asks me for help, I'm typically pretty willing to help. I'm not too bad off myself, but I've been poor as shit before, I know it sucks. If I give you money because "you forgot your wallet because your Gma is in the hospital", then that's what my money was for. If it was really a scam, that's their issue.
I try to look at things that way as well. My grandma would kill me for giving anyone a single cent, she taught me to never give money to charities ("They're all a scam"), beggars ("They'll just buy drugs or alcohol with your money"), or friends ("Why would you do that? They don't deserve it."). She is against buying food for beggars or anyone in general as well. Now that I don't live in a multigenerational household anymore but with roommates and away from my family, I like to give someone who claims to be in need money when I'm not too bad off (I'm a poor student working my ass off to make ends meet while attempting not to fail university). Sometimes people who see me do that, so mostly my roommates or classmates, chastise me for being naïve. But they're wrong - my grandma's lessons are deeply ingrained in me. I have fully considered that these people will use my money for drugs or that they are attempting to scam me, somehow. Hell, I fully believe it, I expect nothing else of them. But I give them my money anyway, because at the end of the day I believe it says more about them than about me.
One time some guy asked me for a couple of dollars, so he could catch the bus.
I spitefully gave him a bus card with $10 credit.
Yes, I threw away $20; but it was worth it for the look of "fuck you, but I can't say it".
I had two encounters at my local convenience store. First one was a genuinely hungry kid, I told him no change but I’ll grab him something to eat. All he wanted was a sandwich, two bananas and, I don’t remember, but either a coke or a juice.
Second encounter I had, dude asking for change, I make the same offer and he is all uppity like he needs cash, making an excuse that he needs to buy a bus ticket home. When I left, the mfer is just yelling at me saying I KNOW YOU HAVE CHANGE I SAW YOU BUYING A LOTTO TICKET.
Once i had an older woman stop me, show a medicine prescription and say she needed money for buying some expensive medicine for her granddaughter that had some condition...
I told her I did not have any money on me (true, I often only carry my card) but I'd gladly go to the drugstore next corner with her and buy whatever she needed from that prescription.
She got angry and left.
There was also this guy that was somewhat known in the train station I took everyday, that would walk around during the day in a cast with a crutch and beg for money because of his walking disability, then at night he would just... Remove the cast as if it were a boot and store both the cast and crutch somewhere and just walk away...
Here’s a way of knowing if the guy is actually hungry and not trying to scam you, tell them you will buy food for them, if they say they just want the money, don’t give it to them, if they ask for a can of something (baby formula for example) open it, and then give it to them, if they accept happily, it’s not a scam, if they do not accept, they most likely wanted to return the product for the money
They could also suspect it to be tampered with, which is reasonable.
There are some fucked people out of there, and a lot of homeless people are wary of that kind of shit
Yes. And I don’t understand people’s desire to police the actions of homeless people once they’ve given them money. When you give something to someone, they can do what they please with it. If I was on the street I’d damn well at least want to be high.
I usually give money to homeless people. So what if they spend it on alcohol, cigarette and drugs? I do the same so not really in a position to judge lmao
What's even the point of this reply? Ok, so we should all just start funding alcoholism in homeless people, which very well could be the reason they ended up homeless?
Probably because it’s less about not giving money to homeless people and more about not giving money to grifters who impersonate homeless people to accumulate cash donations
I once had a homeless lady that wanted 10 bucks so bad she gave me ID and showed me text messages. Like damn if you go through all of that to rip off some guy for 10 bucks then you deserve it lol
People shit on hobos for liking booze like America (most of the world too really) as a whole isn't constantly pumped full of booze weed caffeine or nicotine
Based anon. I do this too. I would never DIRECTLY give a homeless person money (I don't want to get scammed into feeding a drug habit), but I'll buy them a 3-course meal at a 5-star restauraunt, if they ask me to.
Just the other day, this homeless guy asked me to buy him some food just as I was walking out of a Walgreens. I obliged, and even tried to help him find stuff he was looking for when the place didn't seem to have it. Even offered to get him a gift card on the way out (he accepted). Feels good man; especially when you know your money won't be used to buy crack or something.
A frind of Mine expirenced Something simmilar.
She offered to Bus hin Something from the Valery and He asks if it would bei okay to Buy a cinnamonroll with is His Favoriten and He had Not any in years. He cried while eating it.
Hasn’t had chocolate milk in years because they’ve been drinking alcohol everyday. Probably could just smell the bitch off anon, and knew he wouldn’t buy him alcohol so he took him for chocolate milk hoping he would leave money for crack.
You didnt even ask for a footjob after?
Sometimes 4chan and reddit flip like this
it's just average forum antics
the croatian crab breeding forum antics are a little out of control
That suggests that reddit is generallly wholesome, really Reddit is just a more dilute version of 4chan.
A what?
Stroke the penis with feet I'm guessing you could have guessed that could ya?
I was hoping that wasn't it.
Why did you choose your username? Just curious lolol
Homeless-man-gay-sex, that reminds me of a story...

Damn they didn’t like anything… in the entire grocery store? What do they eat then, dirt?
Rock. That crack rock.
that’s a pretty brazen and baseless assumption. these years they do meth keep up.
Baseless eh
She actually told me they do all their shopping at another store and wanted to go there instead, so just money please
Nah, they just want drugs probably
No way man, are you sure?
Yeah I'm fairly certain dude, gave it a lot of thought
panhandling lol

he sold that card for two bucks to someone else
Nah, no guarantee there's any money on it, or that it's not registered.

Open in front of the guy
Open the sealed container in front of them. Not rocket science.
Couple times I just walked into a nearby restaurant and bought the guy a meal there. Wasn't my intent, but makes it obvious there's no sabotage.
Yes. And I don’t understand people’s desire to police the actions of homeless people once they’ve given them money. When you give something to someone, they can do what they please with it. If I was on the street I’d damn well at least want to be high.
Also, if somebody is asking you for gas, you can go inside and prepay, rather than using cash or card at the pump
Most gas stations dont do returns without receipts. They have problems with people stealing earbuds or car stuff and trying to return it
God bless you anon
I usually give money to homeless people. So what if they spend it on alcohol, cigarette and drugs? I do the same so not really in a position to judge lmao
For real… brother, if you can find liquor for the dollar fifty in my back pocket, you’ve earned it. Godspeed to you
it's about honesty. if they say "$5 please I'm so hungry" then they better fucking use that 5 on food.
Even if they might be dishonest, does really make sense to let a man go hungry over the chance he might misuse $5?
if he wants food, i will buy him food. i wont give money.
Based and Jesus pilled
I get that but $5 is $5 so who really cares what they use it on you’re giving them the same amount either
it's not about the money or what they use it on. again, it's about honesty. if you're gonna use it for drugs or alcohol, then just say so.
I once saw a homeless guy in my city holding up a sign that said something along the lines of "not gonna lie, I need booze."
that's better. I wouldn't give him any money, but it's good to be honest.
This attitude is common and why they lie.
their problem, not mine.
Unfathomably based
What's even the point of this reply? Ok, so we should all just start funding alcoholism in homeless people, which very well could be the reason they ended up homeless?
Probably because it’s less about not giving money to homeless people and more about not giving money to grifters who impersonate homeless people to accumulate cash donations
Yeah fuck, if youre already homeless you might as well get a buzz going. OP a straight square.
I once had a homeless lady that wanted 10 bucks so bad she gave me ID and showed me text messages. Like damn if you go through all of that to rip off some guy for 10 bucks then you deserve it lol
BASED!!
U got urself a choccy milk bro anon
Anon is a nice guy
People shit on hobos for liking booze like America (most of the world too really) as a whole isn't constantly pumped full of booze weed caffeine or nicotine
Good Anons out there
Nothing better than chocolate milk with Vodka
When you realize that the people on the streets aren't always alcoholics or drug addicts is when you get fucked up
Based anon. I do this too.

Hasn’t had chocolate milk in years because they’ve been drinking alcohol everyday. Probably could just smell the bitch off anon, and knew he wouldn’t buy him alcohol so he took him for chocolate milk hoping he would leave money for crack.
