What do you do when a homeless person asks you for change?

In a loud and insulting manner, yes it is.

I'm not following the logic here.

Homeless Woman: Got $$? I'm hungry.
AC707: I'll buy you some chicken.
HW: I don't like chicken.
AC707: Sorry. 'bye

~~~

Homeless Woman: Got $$? I'm hungry.
Dude being accosted: uhhhh...
AC707: (loud, from distance) I'll buy you chicken!

I'm not trolling, I'm just wondering where the "rubbing her face in it" comes into play. What is "it"? AC707 isn't mocking Homeless Woman for not having $$. If you haven't eaten for days, you can't be picky about food (beggars can't be choosers ) If Homeless Woman is turning down free food after it being offered, seeming to prefer the cash, AC707 certainly would be wise to assume that Homeless Woman is acting with less than complete veracity.

Sure, but she doesn't have to call the homeless woman's bluff. Jesus wouldn't have.

That's calling her bluff, not rubbing her face in it. It occurred to me just after my last post that maybe you meant a different idiom than "rubbing her face in it". It looks like you actually meant "calling her bluff".

I don't know WWJD.

The last homeless person (Homeless Man) I encountered was in Cincinnati, and he offered to BJ a co-worker (male) of mine for $$... :Q

P.S. There is no god...

It wasn't insulting.

Homeless woman asks person 2 for change. I say, "ma'am, I'll buy you something at the store down the street." She ignores me and asks person 3 for change. "Ma'am, if you'll walk with me to the grocery store, I'll get you something to eat."

After raising your voice to indicate to the other pedestrians that this woman is shady.

On a side note, I find nothing wrong with what you did (other than offering to buy homeless people food).

Tell you what. You and I can go to downtown Seattle. When someone comes up to us and asks for change, I'll offer to buy them something from the grocery store a block down and you can go through your (completely justifiable) routine.

"Do you have any change?"

"Yes"

"Can I have some?"

"No"

If you want to talk about showing the homeless respect and dignity, we can do it after that.

[edit] And then I'll buy you a :beer:

Well it could have been one or the other, tough to say without being there. The last homeless guy I encountered begged to give me a BJ for free.

I definitely called her bluff; I'm not sure what I would have been rubbing her face in. The fact that she doesn't like chicken?

Me too. I feel bad just ignoring them. So I just say "No, I'm sorry" and keep walking. At least be polite about it and treat them like a human being.

We can even go somewhere other than the crackwhore bar across from the bus stop where the homeless people are!

Her creator doesn't do a lot of logical things.

Confused troll. I guess your bridge is leaky...

I don't give them the chance. If I see a bum approaching me I say "hey man got any change?"

Nah not really, I don't carry cash so I usually state that.

Same could be said for you, nik. Let's visit the nearest Catholic church together, dip our fingers in the holy water and see how good God's aim with a lightening bolt is.

Considering that he doesn't exist, my odds of getting hit are 0%. Besides, if we're going to be at the same place at the same time, we may as well head out for drinks afterwards. :heart:

I'm half expecting you to say "I know you are but what am I" and giggle to yourself before running off after hearing the ending bell for recess.

Thanks for proving my point. Don't you have scripture to be reading and sins to be begging forgiveness for or something? Shew, fly.

Means that you spent cash on it at one point. So... why?
