Lmao....yea there was this one time I went grocery shopping with my parents and at this store in ceres I decided to stay in the car, when my parents were walking to the store an old looking guy in a wheel chair asked my parents for some change and I saw them hand him a few dollars. I thought to my self poor guy hes missing a leg and moving around in a wheel chair and its hot as fawk. After the guy gets a few bucks more he starts heading out to the parking lot, almost were our car was parked with me chillin in it. I then see this foo bust out a pocket full of cash and switches legs hahaha o_O I could not belive it. Effing guy was not missing leg...wtf? I rolled the window down with music playing semi loud and the guy looks at me with a "oh **** look" he then sticks the cash back in his pocket and starts to leave the shopping center.

 

Last month, when I was still unemployed, and absolutely broke as sh*t, a homeless dude asked if I could spare some change. I politely told him I've got none what so ever. He started yelling at me! LOL! I was like, WTF? I can't be honest?

 

"welfare is the monetary form of methadone, it doesn't work" - Adam Carolla

Sure there are homeless people who would be happy for half of the sandwich you didn't finish, but most of the ones holding up signs are just waiting for handouts because they can. If they get enough money from just standing around, why work or do anything useful. There are plenty of volunteer programs to help people get on their feet, but standing on the corner with a sign waiting for free money isn't helping themselves or anyone else.

Seriously, f*** those useless bums. If you've got time to stand on a street corner not doing nothing, you've got time to go do something productive for yourself.

I used to hand them money when I was younger. For the last few years, I've become somewhat desensitized because of the sheer number of homeless people at just about every intersection.

My dad used to let 2 different homeless people stay in his old truck at the side of our shop. The amount of forty bottles I had to clean up weekly was mind boggling.

 

hahah i was visiting family in syracuse, ny and a bum was at the freeway offramp (with sign, ratty clothes, beard etc) and as he was sitting there, his cellphone rang!...he answers angrily "i ****in told you not to call me during this time!"

he then walked away looking defeated haha

 

A couple of years ago @ a Jack n da Box in Santa Clara. I was inside ordering with me,my bro in law and sister in law. While waiting this homeless guy walks in and demanded money from them and keep in mind they are very soft spoken and keep to themselves most of the time (sheltered gamers) and my bro in law was gettin nervous and started to give him a 20$ bill so I took it from him and said don't give that drunk ***** ****** anything. So dude begins cursing at me and sayn he's gonna do this and that to me...I tell him go sober up and then talk to me because I don't feel like knocking out some **** throwing blanks. He then proceeds to flash his pocket knife and poking it towards me...by this time I know the manager made a phone call to scpd so I get my order and walk out...or at least I tried cause **** opens the knife and lunged at me so I parry the blade past my face and popped his elbow backwards and punched him in the nose which broke lol. The cops came in and like 12 witnesses all vouched for me saying it was self defense. The cop was all like "dam wtf did you do him he out weighs you a good 50lbs) I was 130lbs lol I told him well he was drunk and I guess that Kajukenbo paid off...ever since then I have no sympathy for the drunk ones.

 

You're like Batman!

 

no more sympathy for homeless folks from me...ive had 1 person tell me throughout the week that he "just got released from jail....do you have any change/cigarettes"...told him that he told me the same thing last week and he got pissed and left (happened around tully)...went to school at SJSU and we had our fare share of homeless folks all over campus

im a smoker so they all keep on bugging me about "having an extra cigarette"...its freakin annoying

 

They don't come 21 to a pack, dick, so no... I don't have an 'extra'. Besides, if they did come 21 to a pack that would be normal and I still wouldn't have an extra.

 

ahahah seriously....the worst is when you go to a store and buy a fresh pack and theyre right outside the door waiting for you

 

lol wow. my line to bum a cigarette usually is "hey can i buy a cigarette off you" to which most people respond "no, here you can have one though". Last week at the pub it backfired and dude charged me $3 for a cigarette.

 

Chevron in cupertino on the intersection of Stevens Creek and De Anza. Theres only one hobo in cupertino and he will undoubtedly be waiting every time.

 

Oh yeah...i learned that through working/attending clubs...i used to give away stoges to folks but when i ask for one, they charge me. So if i dont know the person, tough luck but youre not getting it from me.

ugh...mine is the local gas station off Berryessa...same chick every, single time...

edit: also, ive had some bad run ins with a few homeless folks and nowadays, when i ride my motorcycle, i have my Ka Bar with me *legally carried of course*...less and less homeless folks around the tully/capitol area are asking for cigarettes when im out smoking
