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

Funny, the assumptions you made about me in this post, though, n00b.

I'm not making any assumptions, I'm just fucking with you because it's entertaining for me. Besides, read your signature. That's all I need to know about you.

You jumped in and have nothing constructive to post and are pointing fingers at me for not having anything constructive to post. Pot, met kettle. So typical for your ilk, too.

I didn't spend a dime. My link was to show that the frivilous title may be earned by anyone and everyone without carrying any significant weight or value of any kind, negating your implied allegation

I've never been asked for change. I've only ever seen a handful of homeless people in the flesh. So I don't know, probably tell them to fuck off because if you're homeless in this country then you've chosen to be homeless.

If that's the way it is in New Zealand (by choice), that's an interesting point of view.

I often fix myself a to go container at work in case I'm too tired or lazy to cook myself something later. If I get asked for change, I ask them if they're hungry and hand them the to go box.

Ditto (almost). I often have a cold Gatorade, Vitamin Water, or soda with me, unopened, and when asked if thirsty most usually say yes. I refuse to give them any money, but I'll gladly get them something to eat if they "haven't eaten in 3 days."

I just ignore them. Too many here in Los Angeles to give change to.

Tell them I don't have change or money, only plastic. Its true 99% of the time.

What's the option? Just hop in a kangaroo's pouch?

Same here. If in my hometown I'll offer to buy them a sandwich.
