Bums, and some of the creative stuff they come up with. My favorite is the ever classic, "I'm a Christian man, with a family, and I just lost my job. Sir, I wouldn't normally be doing this but I have to put food on the table. Just whatever you can spare man. Please?"

You give them like two bucks, and then watch them as they run to the liquor store down the street.

What is the best line you have heard from the homeless?

Yes.

no

actually most the vets that have sign say there homeless and have no money,,, is not true..

a friend of mine told me that she heard about this one family that made there living by asking for handouts and they made something like $300-600a week

i had a guy that ask for 50cents to get a hamberger while i was in line at jack nbox, we gave him 50cents but i think he went to the store and bought a beer

Yes.

SIGN SAID................. bet you can't hit me with a quarter............ guy was standing on an on ramp in portland........i threw like three bucks at him.....thought it was funny

not with 50 cents he didnt...

No.

I remember a Streetwise vendor I've seen at the same place for a number of years. After a while I just more or less ignore them because if you need to sell Streetwise for 5+ years, then maybe it's time to look into getting a normal job.

She would yell at me saying "YOU DON'T CARE YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!" I ended up unloading on her. I was pissed.

I never give my money to bums unless one approaches me as I get out of my car...most of that then is paying so I won't find a brick through my windshield when I get back.

I'd rather donate to homeless shelters and charities that will put the money into actually taking care of them.

This homeless couple lived in the field behind me in New Mexico. I would stop and talk to them if I walked across to the store. The woman had these huge hooters that stuck straight out. She would leave for about twenty or thirty minutes and go to the nearest intersection. She'd come back with fifty, sixty bucks every time.
