I saw a miserable looking retch sitting on the sidewalk with a pan out and not bothering anyone. I gave him $20. A gift is just that, a gift, given with no expectation or judgement of the receiver. It's not your issue they make bad decisions. Give from your heart, expect nothing in return. But attempt to avoid the scammers.

I gave to a buck to one once. He was either really crying or damn good at faking it.
It was at a stoplight on a windy day in one of the busiest intersections in town. The hand off didn't go as planned and the dollar bill blew out into the intersection. That dude ran straight out into traffic and almost got ran over and caused a pile up. Ooops! lol

One evening in about 2002 I was headed West down Fairview Ave in Boise going to work the night shift. The sun was blinding right in my eyes when I heard thump thump thump and saw an explosion of feathers. Through the rear view truck mirror I could see mallards tumbling down the road behind me. I pulled into a parking lot and got out and checked my new truck for damage then headed back to see if I needed to put down some wounded ducks. Traffic had slowed to almost a stop and people were standing in the road around them crying and carrying on. As I went past with my window down one lady was crying histaricly and yelling he didn't even stop, we need to find him and put him in prison. I just kept rolling figuring it probably wasn't a good time to get out and demonstrate the circle snap neck breaking duck finishing technique. Birds can pit people against each other. Bb

There was a guy at I think, USC , did his MASTERS thesis on panhandling.... 80s or early 90s
He did quite the study. who is to approach; what kind of eye contact depending on who. And he did it himself....$400 a short shift at times. Walking up to BMWs at a long light and keeping eye contact ......window goes down 1/4” and a $20 appears
In LA if there are trees in a clover leaf where two roads cross, there are bums living there.
In the morning NoOne was begging......most worked the afternoon rush hour....2:00 till they had enough.

One time a fellow asked me for money because he was starving and hadn't eaten in a couple days. I told him I wouldn't give him cash, but I'd buy him some food from the near by store, and he had to think about it for a few minutes. If you're hungry,you don't have to think about such things. I did end up buying him a meal, after he thought for a while... He never asked me again and I saw him a few times after that.

He has had the McDonald's Help Wanted sign point out to him several times! Hell, Wal-Mart was begging for people at $12/hour. Ever notice his dog. Ain't neither one of them missing a meal. His dog is in great shape and well kept. Good for him on that. But it doesn't help his desperation story.

We were headed over hiway 2 in eastern Washington on our way to my in laws house and stopped for a burger at good roadside burger joint. A short old Mexican man in his Vaquero hat came up to me and in broken English asked if I had any money I could give him so he could pay the bus fare to Wenatchee. I noticed that we were close to the bus stop so that added up and since he walked a good way to get over to me and I’m not exactly approachable or screaming “come talk to me”..... he could see that I was a good ol’ boy and showed me his recently stamped green card. He said he goes back and forth on the bus to get his card stamped to stay legal. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt and admired his efforts and dedication. That tanned face and deep dark eyes had traveled far and seen a lot, that face was not afraid of hard work or a guy twice his size so I gave him $10, shook his hand and bid him vaya con Dios with a smile.
If I know that I can truly help someone I will.

Thanks dik. You just made it harder for the rest of us to enjoy Assville. Dumbchits like you are why you can't even sit in the park on Sunday in Asheville.
Sir, I see that you are a Son of the South. As such, even though you are ill-mannered, you are a Man of Honor. And as an insult to my integrity, this matter must be settled on the Field of Honor. Which is, of course, the Island in the French Broad River. This will be settled at the crack of dawn two days hence. Of course, my second will contact your second. Naturally, choice of weapons will be yours. post script: I suggest that you get your affairs in order.
