Most of the pro's around here use a 3 gallon gas can as a prop. Holding a neatly folded cardboard sign "Out of gas - please help", or whatever the fugg.
Yeah, right.
Take a look at their shoes - sometimes they don't think hard enough to take off their Air Jordans and put on a ratty-ass pair from the Goodwill. I ain't giving my hard earned cash to anyone that fuggin' stupid. When my dad was alive he had somebody stop in that was out of gas a needed money to get back home. He said no but he did have some gas. He grabbed a 5 gallon can and said after about two gallons the gas started overflowing on the ground.

You wanna buy some Arizona seashore property?

The old, out of gas, and forgot my wallet/purse scam. Sometimes, they are so good, you can't tell if maybe it's for real. I've fallen for it twice, because the two cases seemed so convincing, but also turned down quite a few people on that one. The two that I gave some money to looked like there might be a 10% chance it was legit. One was a mother/daughter combo in a car that was supposed to be out of gas, and they had no money, so I gave them $5.00. Another was an older woman who said she her crank case leaked out all the oil, and she just needed a bottle of oil from the gas station, so I bought her one. For all I know, they were both legit, but most likely not.

I give them nothing. They did a piece on the panhandlers who work the busy intersections near popular shopping centers and one bragged he averaged 200 in cash every day,

Last weekend I tried to give $5 to a homeless dude, but he didn't have change for a $10.

I use to live overseas. When an elder in the family was too feeble to work, the fam would drop him off on a rug downtown and to beg then pick him up in the evening. Sometimes you’d see some of them picked up in a Mercedes.

Left church one Sunday and see a black guy standing on the corner, his sign says "why lie, I need money for weed" A car in front of us handed him some money. Whatever works....

What I really want to know is how their penmanship is so precise and legible at a distance?

"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother." TR
I will sometimes approach someone on the street, outside the grocery store or wherever. Give them a few bucks.
I don't need a cardboard sign to recognize a destitute human.
I have much more than I need.

Best one though, and I think he probably has a higher annual income than I do - he holds up a sign at an offramp stoplight: "Bet you can't hit me with a quarter"
LMAO, dude makes bank! I wonder how a quarter would fly out of a slingshot

Started driving truck at 21, a fresh baby faced country kid. I was almost 35 before they quit carding me like they knew I was underage.
Anyway, I was the target of every truck stop, convience store, or street bum that saw me.
What used to piss me off the worst was that I was eager to help someone truly down on their luck. But just blew off all of them due to the BS.
We have a "Veteran" who hangs at Wal-Mart. People actually give him burgers or money! A poor community of underpaid, hard working People, almost all Republican, and they give HIM handouts!
WTF?! They can't afford that.
I would love to pound them silly, Then haul his ass to the .Maryland line and kick him out.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

I thought this was going to be a story about an epic and economical blow job. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh look, more old guys talking about gay sex on the Fire. They say they hate it but every single hour they are talking about it. Must not hate it too much. Speaking of dick suckers and you showed right up.
