WTF!?
lesson learned: never give a bum cash. they'll just spend it on booze & drugs.Originally posted by: jdoggg12
So I was driving to lunch the other day and I saw this bum with a sign asking for money. Now after seeing bums go straight to the liqueur store after getting free money, i wasn't about to just give him money. I like to help people though.
So he's on the passenger side corner and i roll down my window as he walks up, "Hey man, you got any change?"
"I got $20 you can have for washing my car or I can just give you a can of soup with a pop top" I told him.
"You little bastard, all i want is some change. I don't have time to be washing peoples cars!"
I looked at him like and said "You're right, i'll think about you sleeping in a bush while i'm in my comfy bed tonight watching a big screen TV. Be a little more courteous and you might someday afford the box my tv came in."
When did bums become indignant? I just wanted to offer the guy an honest way to make the money I was going to give him. Hell, a few blocks away theres 25 mexicans lined up to do the same job for $5!

It's very annoying how bums expect things from you now, its friggin ridiculous. They ask for money, you give them some so they ask for more... that's gratitude?? Used to be they were happy with a quarter and now they want 20$ so they can pay the rent and buy a new tv. Lazy friggin idiots have turned it into a career.
I've seen bums here get offered a meal and they throw it out when they receive it!

I don't think most people realize that a large majority of transients have severe mental issues even if it's not obvious.

Some people think it's justified to leave American citizens to rot because they heard a story "from a friend" about a bum that was rolling in dough.

Sorry, but if you are kind enough to provide them with food that they say they need and they brush you off wanting cold, hard cash... why should you be anything but callous from then on? Especially if this is a common occurrence.

What part of mentally ill didn't you understand? Actually, you shouldn't have to deal with them at all. If we're really a 1st world country, we, as a country, should be helping the "least among us".
By the way, addicts are SICK. They need HELP. We could treat them with a fraction of the "War on Drugs" money being wasted.
