So I was walking back to work with Ktulu

[Chrono]

So this guy goes, "I'm late for xxxxx and it would be great if you can give me some money for the bus." We didn't bother giving him anything, but, why stop and ask people for money when you're already late? With the amount of time that this raceless guy spent asking us for money, he could've just hurried up and walked to his destination asap.


BTW, he went into Starbucks right after he asked us for money. NICE!

This is Pomona, I was afraid we'd get stabbed in the face by this guy.

 

[nakedfrog]

Gah, what a jerk, he had to order a medium instead of a large, AND without whipped cream, and it's all because of you!

That's why you gotta stab first.

Ah. Next time, we'll know what to do specifically, which is to stab him once he opens his mouth.

"Listen, I'm not a bum..."
"Yeah? Then how come I've seen you saying the same story six times over the course of two years?"

There a local "hotel" near a shopping center that takes homeless people in because they can make more money from the county/state than they can from people that actually need a hotel, so the bums roam the shopping centers.

 

[pontifex]

maybe he went there to bum money from customers or the cashier?

 

[xanis]

Congratulations, you met a panhandler. He neither late nor needs money for transportation. The money he "needs" is for booze, cigarattes, drugs, or all of the above.

 

[rivan]

We had a woman with a terrible memory for faces who 'worked' the parking lot at our old building.

She had 3 or 4 standard stories she'd use, and she'd use them over and over on the same people - one of them identical to yours. When she'd catch someone who'd give her a few bucks, she'd always head to the bar on the corner, spend what she got and head back out to 'work'.

Next time see if you can jump over him on your skateboard.

I'm glad I could help you guys out.

Ollie the bum?

 

[UNCjigga]

The worst people are the moochers at I-95 rest stops. There are a few sections of I-95/I-295 that are toll roads or where the state govt sets up a full-service rest stops (the ones with a Sbarro, Starbucks, other fast food, gas, truck stop etc. all next to the highway.) I swear that every time I stop at one of these in NJ or Maryland, there's always someone at the door begging for money because "I have no money! I don't have gas! I can't pay tolls!" Really? WTF are you doing driving a V8 pickup or SUV then, ass? Who the hell drives state-to-state without cash or credit?

All the beggars I know are honest.

 

[jagec]

While he was probably a bum, there's a SMALL chance that he actually needed bus change.

Going into Starbucks proves nothing, since that's actually a good place to break a $5 if the bus driver wants exact change.

He was still probably a bum.

This strategy has gotten very popular in my city. I'm not sure how effective it is, but it's at least good-natured, and better than trying to sell me stolen postcards.

Nuh-uh... That's my move.

 

[kranky]

I guess this thread flew under the radar of the usual suspects because I don't see the type of reply which always gets posted, so I will step in on their behalf...

How exactly does it matter that the guy was raceless and why was it necessary to point out he was raceless? What do you have against raceless people that you want people to think they are all street bums?

You're racelessist, admit it.
