Today, I was walking down the street and noticed a man in ripped clothes with a cup out asking for money. I was on my way to the movies but I felt like this man needed it more that me. Right as I gave it to him, he pulled out his blackberry. FML

You'd be surprised how much money hobos make.

I know that there's going to be a shitstorm really soon. #2, speaking as someone who has known a lot of street kid and hung out with them while they spanged, no, they don't make a lot of money. (There are a few places, like Vegas, where every other person hands you a twenty, but I'll just assume that the OP doesn't live there) I'd also like to say that just ignoring a homeless person asking you for spange is a really terrible thing to do. Do you honestly think that they're going to want to go get a job after seeing that most people treat them like they're not even human? After having people pretend you don't exist most of the time, you're eventually just going to assume that any potential employer is going to treat you like that, too. If you don't want to give people money, say no, I've never met anyone who will get mad if you don't give them anything. Buuut, now that I'm done lecturing people, I'd have to agree that that guy is a ******* asshole. He probably has a job or deals or finds money some other way and doesn't need to be panhandling.

I once gave a hobo a bag of Doritos and he handed them back to me saying, "Man, you KNOW I don't eat cheese!" No, I was actually quite unaware of that, ************. Here are a few items closer to the top of the list of things I know about you other than the fact that you have an aversion to cheese: 1. You smell. 2. You sit outside Quick Trip all day, every day. 3. You've apparently never heard the saying, "Beggars can't be choosers." 4. You can go to hell. It's stupid, lazy assholes like this that make me not want to help anyone. But, by all means, take your gov't handout that was robbed of productive men by threat of force and then get pushy with me when you're begging for more. You live in a country where you can eat better out of a dumpster than 2/3 the rest of the world. If you can't make it here, then you're pretty much ******. The only homeless fund I'll be donating to will be one offering euthanasia.

don't give money to homeless people. ever. look them in the eye and say "I'm sorry, sir (ma'am), but... (I don't have any change/cash)" and keep walking. two years of living in nyc, this is what i've learned.

see? this is exactly why we never give beggers money. if they say they're hungry, buy them a sandwich.

everybody breathe. I am a homeless teenager and I own a blackberry, because I took it with me when I left home. maybe this guy is recently homeless or maybe he just had enough common sense to keep his phone, or maybe some really rich person gave it to him. I ******* hate how so many people on this site are judgemental assholes.

That's why you don't give them money.

Don't give them money. They either have enough already, or they will use it to buy alcohol / drugs. Donate to a cause if you want to help the homeless. @57 - don't run away from home if you want to bitch about being homeless. If you have a blackberry, your parents must be paying for it.

I never give money to bums unless they do something that takes so much talent that I can't bear not to.

#57, you are a homeless teenager with a blackberry and an internet connection? wow. my common sense to keep my phone would involve trading in my blackberry for a really cheap phone so I got money to eat or whatever.
