guy begging was faking

Today I took a wrong turn downtown and ended up in this shady little area with pubs and cobblestone roads... very nice. Anyways he came up to my car window all hunched over and weak looking, and said all shakily "I'm really hungry do you have any ... blah blah blah " and because I am embarrassingly broke til friday, I said no!( I only have 1.75 and that's for my coffee in the morning) As soon as he heard my reply his whole demeanor changed! He stood up and briskly walked away! What a player!!!

I love the squeegee kids that are all sweet and will wash your car windows just cause its friday or something like that...
this guy was weaselly. I am not normally cheap btW.
has this happened to you? when someone was obviously trying to play you????

 

There used to be a blind guy that would hang out downtown whenever there was a concert or sporting event.... He was just faking so I guess he wasn't really a blind guy though lol.

 

alot. for a while i was livin on the streets. i would play mandolin to get by, just barely. most the beggers made good money, and they would always try to beg off me, even though they made more in an hour then i would make all day.
squeegiers are a whole different breed though, at least they are working, so i always like to tip them. but anyone who flies a sign or is hustlin, i never help them. if someones down though, u can tell, an ill help them out.

 

you see fakers all the time in chicago. I dont fall for any of their shit

there was this one bum or "bum" that hada sign say "help my dead cat" first you cant help a Dead cat and second that cat laid there on its back and every so often it'll look around with its eyes opened

 

Just today some wigger looking guy came up and asked me for 3 bucks to get on the train. I gave him 3 bucks and looked back as the train came by, and he didn't even get on.

 

hahahaha exactly. a fellow chicagoian! I went to chicago last weekend for peace fest and a woman came up with fake tears saying that her car got tolled and she needed money to catch the bus and it was such BS cause she had a phone right in her pocket but my dumb ass hick friends dont know any better and gave her like 10 dollars which was our emergency money.....

 

haha!

This one guy used to hold this sign and sometimes his wife would have it, I guess he had the day off or somethin' when she was there... anyways the sign said she was hungry and the person stopped in front of us reached out and gave her fruit or a bun or something... anyways when we pulled up beside her she was just kind of looking at it like "do I want this shit"" lol anyways she put it into her pocket in a really disappointed way. hahaa

 

.. yeah.. Hey, baby, what's happening? How are ya doing? Once you have a man with no legs, you never go back, baby. I know what you're thinkin'. You seen "Porgy and Bess"?

We can make it, baby! Me and you!... You BITCH!

 

i trust very few bums. i'm sure most of them are faking, but i'm not entirely sure which ones are and which are sincere and i'm just an asshole...

 

That fuckling irritates me to no end, because there are actually really hungry ppl out there. Guys like that make it tough for real homeless folks to score a meal.

 

i almost always give a few dollars to people begging or food if i can. One time i bought a guy groceries. he was thankful. it was one of the best things ive ever done

 

he probably threw that bag of groceries at a convenience store clerk to distract him while he stole alcohol.

 

I eat them it saves me money and time.

 

Haha.:cheers2:

 

Back when Daniel and I were bums and living off of couch change, we'd take off to Amarillo every time we could scrape up $5, because that's exactly the amount of gas it took to get there. But we hung out in a bit of a crack neighborhood (not terrible, just...quite a few crackheads) because our friend had a sweet house there. Our car was terribly beat up because we had smashed up the front end in a wreck, so we took the front bumper off of it and wired driving lights to the grill to act as headlights until we could get a replacement front end. We had to pass an office building on our way in and out of the neighborhood (it was right off the interstate), and there were ALWAYS bums sitting out there in the shade with cardboard signs, and they'd shake their fists and yell at us every time we passed, even though it was QUITE obvious we were pretty fucking poor ourselves. Chances were really good most of them were just out there trying to score easy money for crack. We needed to spend that change we had on a blunt. lol

 

he wasnt anywhere near one he was dumpster diving behind a restaurant when i approached him

 

Holy shit, I almost forgot that whole year I spent my life savings supporting a bum. God, that was stupid. He ended up threatening our lives over $750.

 

I like to yell at those pretend deaf ones that pass me cards at Canadian Tire parking lots

Hello Im deaf...can you give me some money or buy a cheap bead bracelet I made


NO!!!!....and then they walk away and I say "hey wait...I found a few bucks"...they always turn around

 

My cousin signs fluent ASL and he likes to fuck with those pretend deaf guys. He's awesome. lol

 

so he knows deaf peoples' age, sex and location?
