that’s a very materialistic view of the world
but yeah as people here have said already, just say no. not “No, I don’t have any money”; “No, I’m not sparing any money”. otherwise they’ll use tactics that put you out of your comfort zone if they realize they can make you uncomfortable. imagine if they were asking you for dick instead, what would you say? come off pretty weak if you say shit like “I can’t tonight, I have a headache”. just say fuck that
Yeah, Atlanta homeless people are the reason that I rarely go outside of midtown when I go out. I also go to the nice resturaunts in the lenox and perimeter areas as opposed to the ones downtown to avoid them. This huge trade show that my company takes part in broke their contract just to get the show out of Atlanta because of attendees complaining about roberies and homeless people.
lol working graveyard security/audit shifts at a hotel i get a lot of bums. i live in downtown too so you kinda get used to treating them like the trash they are. heres a vid from earlier tonight when this guy chased some teenagers into the hotel and they hid here til the cops came.
i have a longer video, but im still at work so i cant upload anything longer than a minute without wifi
edit: i just realized my facebook videos are on private. Ill upload it to youtube then repost it.
ask them do they
got any change ??
one of my favorite replies to people trying to bum cigarettes.
“do you have a spare smoke?”
“nah, the pack i bought only came with 20. if it had 21 id have a spare to give you.”
no its not. If my life hit rockbottom to the point where I had to beg people in the street for money, with absolutely no chance of me improving the situation… I’d go out amy winehouse style…
…and before you ask, i’d ask someone to “lend” me the money to buy it (and i obviously wouldnt tell them what the money was for).
I will tell them NO, only cuz I know where my money is going to go(drugs) and I have a problem with people getting a high/drunk and having their jollies on my expense. I also give them an alternative choice, usually buying them food instead of handing them change.
There was a lady in Toronto that made six figures panhandling. And I knew a guy who would play a guitar downtown for change, then drive off in a porsche at the end of the day
you americans are lucky we have the super aggressive style in Melbourne, Would say in at leats 8/10 I ask for money and say NO I expect there may be a physical confrontation afterwards, most of them just abuse you though as they walk off
if you’re a beggar there aint no better place to beg than london. In 2007, Westminster Council revealed that beggars in London can earn up to £300 a day.
I spray any hobo that tries to talk to me with mace. Right in the eyes. Sure, I sometimes get stares, but my mom was almost raped by a hobo once. So now we all have cans of mace.
You are correct.
Most beggars either:
In this country, if someone is an actual starving beggar who has no place to sleep, they’re doing it wrong. Get on food stamps and public assistance. It’s what my tax dollars are paying for.
If you can’t trust them to give you a homo-erotic massage then you shouldn’t give them money, I mean if I can’t trust you to massage my ass then I ain’t trusting you with money.
whose with me, noone, ok bye

Well what I d is. When I see a bum approach. I just take out my pistol and pretend I’m loading one in to the chamber. They usually just walk. Away.
One time i went to Subway after midnight after a gaming session and this bum approched me. Asked me if i could give him money. I offered to buy him a sub. He accepted. I went back inside to eat when this couple comes in a few minutes later telling the guy making the subs that there is a bum trying to sell a subway sub lol. too funny. After that, I don’t feel sorry for them anymore.
Edit: I hate it the most when you have these bums spray dirty water on the windshield of your car and try to clean it. They expect you to give them money. Fuck that.
Bums suck… alot of them just want easy money and shit…
If you give them a gift that is worth the same in money they’ll just try to sell it…
If you ask them if they want to do a job(no pun intended) like lifting something or something of that sort in exchange for food/money… I bet you won’t have a whole bunch of bums that would accept…
White liberal guilt at its finest, people.
Its now illegal to beg in london.
my bum story:
in Dallas waiting on the 26 bus, it’s me and like 20 people waiting. It’s November, and this one dood comes up and asks one person for a dollar, not a quarter, but a dollar. he obviously says no, but this begger continues to go down the line of people and he doesn’t get the hint. before he even got close to where i was at, I yelled out, “if you applied for a damn job as hard as you beg then you wouldn’t be down here bothering people while wearing a Bill Cosby sweater. I got a job and I’m not even from this state”. A few people laughed and the begging dood stormed off. A few days later, I see the same guy but this time with his “wife”, now he has a line about his wife being pregnant and “needs about $5 to eat”. SMH.
4 years has passed and I moved back to Omaha, when I was at the grocery store I hear some guy giving this sob story about his car breaking down and …his wife being pregnant…
I turned the corner, maaaaaaan it’s the same dood. he didn’t recognize me but I never forget a face. this nigga, and I do mean that in no way as a term of endearment, tried to hit me up too. I just told him that his hustle didn’t work on me in Dallas and it wont work here either. Nigga stormed off again but quickly out the store.
I just want to know exactly how this guy got from Dallas to Nebraska. a bus ticket is like $158-$230 a piece now times by two. you gotta be kidding me, man.
