BEGGARS AND PANHANDLERS
If you live in a large city, you no-doubt have seen people hanging around bus stops and businesses asking for money. There have always been beggars and panhandlers, and they have always known that if you can swallow a lot of pride (and a little cum), you can knock down an easy 70K per year----better than most college grads fresh out of school.
But lately, this trend has caught on in small towns as the eceonomy continues to collpase (and make no mistake, it is collapsing---resting solely on printed fiat currency). In my town, the beggars, finding that big city folks have awakened to their bullshit sob stories, have moved in and tapped into the gullible naievity of the liberal Christians, which we seem to be over-populated with. They stand at an intersection---usually one that intersects with a Wallmart (we all know how gullible you have to be to shop there), and hold signs that read "DISABLED VET...ANYTHING HELPS" or "SINGLE MOM....LOST EVERYTHING". Upon questioning, they never give you a solid story, and after a few hours in one spot, usually get into their BMW and drive off to another fishing hole.
So I've decided that if people are that stupid, then it would be interesting to see just how stupid they really are.......just how much bullshit will they swallow. So in order to find out, Grrl and I have decided to do some begging on our own this weekend.
My sign will read...."RECENTLY PAROLED SEXUAL PREDATOR.......ANYTHING HELPS"........and Grrrl's sign is going to read ......."LAID OFF PROSTITUTE.....LOST EVERYTHING, INCLUDING PIMP". I've already made arrangements to have my belongings shipped to Tread if I'm lynched, and my wife shipped to BFG----IF she has any ass left to ship after our day in the sun.
Seriously, if you're able to stand in the hot sun for hours, you can run the fry machine for a while and Micky Ds. There are plenty of social agencies, soup kitchens and single fat girls who will take you in. You don't need to rake in 300 a day from people who are probably worse off than you. Taking money from poor people puts you in the same League as a preacher, and that's saying something.
Anyway-----what are you seeing in your town? Have you noticed things getting worse, or is your city hall repaving the sidewallks in gold?

Yes and they are all dressed better than me on a workday. They are also cleaner but they are homeless with a clean shave nice haircut and bright white shoes. They usually look away when I look at them
This is everywhere in the large city I work in. There is one girl who sits outside a grocery store I frequent with a sign saying she is broke and hungry. This girl looks to be around my age, mid to late twenties, and I cant help but feel bad for her.
On my way out of he grocery store she hit me up with her begging, "please, anything helps".... now I didnnhave any cash on me, but being the sucker I am, I reached into my groceries and pulled out a huge bag of trail mix , we'rentalking enough calories to keep this girl going for a longgggg time. I went to hand it to her and she declines and says "what the fuck am I supposed to do with that".......
This really backed up the stereotype that the majority of those folks are junkies that put themselves in that situation and refuse to get help or they are scammers, I had a few other run ins like that prior but not so blatant.
Unfortunately I will NEVER again give so much as anpenny of my hard earned money to any of these beggers.
Right on!
Often times these guys will "work for food", but that's simply a ploy to earn credibility. A friend of mine gave a guy directions to his business and gas money to get there so he could put him to work earning 10 bucks per hour----they guy never showed up.
Thats pathetic, the gas money likely went up his nose, oh well, makes me feel better about not giving them a fukin thing anymore.
The other day I saw the best sign yet. No BS excuses, no subtle guilt trip, just straight up honest panhandling. The sign read:
"Family abducted by aliens. Need money for spaceship."
I almost gave him a buck.
When I see a guy that holds up a sign that says...."I AINT GONNA LIE.....I NEED BEER MONEY", that's when I'll bust out a few bucks.
tread-mFunny you say, John Stossil put it to the test. He dressed up like a bum (yes I still call them bums cuz, well, they are bums) and one said he he'll "will work for food". Retested holding a sign "I need a beer". Did just as well with the latter. Pretty revealing show as to you post you should check it out.
BigBmajI've seen that sign many times. Once I gave one of those guys a dollar and he asked for $5 and he was shitty about it. That shit pissed off.
Another guy was taking a drink off a bottle of booze and he looked irritated by the person who was offering him money "just a fucking second bitch let me hit this bottle" look.
But I give them money anyway. I could care less what they spend the money on. I read somewhere recently that many of the people around here are making $100 a day with those signs. I'm thinking about it.
I like the will work for gear sign. I'd hold that up proud, no shirt on and shit.
RustyhookerMy Hood has a different "veteran" at each island at the 4way stops plus the single beggers at the corner so anyway you go theres begging. Problen is that my Hood is full on ghetto. So its beggers....begging from beggars. Just today at the Walmart with my son a wallet grabber popped out "needing help" but decided it's better for him to ask elsewhere.
Since you're HUGE your sign will get mostly dirty looks but i bet Grrl gets the whoops. Lol
waltrI bet she gets asked how much every 20 minutes ;P
She's been getting asked how much every 20 minutes for years now....D
Anonso......... how much
RustyhookerLmao!
I was actually on my way to the gym last week when I saw this lady parading arou d a small child with a sign that said "need money no home and my child is sick" and when I was leaving the gym I saw them walking in to red robin.
The number of women begging now has skyrocketed. If I was a decent-looking woman, there's no way I'd be begging----there are too many shriveled prunes with broken dicks that would keep me in luxury. If it's good enough for Hugh's girls, it'd be good enough for me....:)
waltrThey're handing out gold plated helicopters where I live.
The sidewalks are slated to be redone with emeralds and rubies in my development sometime this fall, but the helicopters were delivered to all right wing republicans last week.
Obama BlowsI'm friends with a few prostitutes and "off" isn't the type of "laid" they get lol Those bitches make some serious BANK!
Completely irrelevant to your post, but just sayin!
And the beggers here are so bad that we average 2-3 at every 4-way stop...I did community service awhile back cleaning up after those nasty fucks...and if they can afford THAT MUCH FUCKING HEROIN, they don't need my $
That's a good point-----if you're at the point of having to beg, then you shouldn't be feeding a habit like heroin......which is probably why you're at the point of begging in the first place, and which is exactly why I wouldn't throw them a dime unless it was in the path of a fully loaded dump truck with faulty brakes.
heroin is hardly a "habbit".
