rockyoutdoors Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I wont give them a dime if they are asking. Tell them I got something for you, then give them a bottle of water or a granola bar. The disappointed reaction on their face is priceless. Most of the money goes towards drugs and alcohol so you are not doing them any favors. If I do see someone who needs help I will, but most choose to live that way and I refuse to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given plenty of bums food I had and bought more sandwiches I can count. Buying wings for Bellringer doesn't count. redfishkiller, Brother Brian, hobobob and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugeDinghy Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I don’t think I’ve had one take me up on anything offered besides money. I was walking to a bar in NEw Haven and one caught me generous. When I reached down into my pocket it made me look down. I said “ mother ****er you got on Jordan’s!” Edited May 24, 2022 by HugeDinghy hobobob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlumFishing Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 About a month ago some degenerate was outside Kohl’s and one of his boots was missing the sole. Asked him what size he wore, me and the girlfriend went in and bought him a pair of new boots. If there’s a hell I’m going there, but nothing wrong with hedging my bets. But giving cash isn’t an option. richie c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people I helped were definitely homeless and probably a bit on the crazy side. One guy I bought breakfast or gave him some fruit a few times. He slept outside the building I work in on the sidewalk. You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around.

hobobob Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Grew up in NYC, you seen things, Most of the time, food given will be dumped. Some even curse out after the giver left. People with mental issues that actually do dumpster diving for food will gladly accept anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He slept outside the building I work in on the sidewalk. I was in that area from '86-'92. I saw the same actors almost daily. Most were toasted. I was broke myself. Very 3rd world to me. The less derogatory label for me was Americano. Most times-even cops would NOT get out of their vehicles. They would pull me over after I left the areas. I could barely help myself-but I did offer half of my meager sandwich-many times-to those that plead hunger to me. Never one take. Many times I had a partner/trainee or had to work with another sub-contractor from the area. They all told me not to even engage in any way with these people. These same people pointed out the Vets I spoke of that we would give some coin to on occasion. Hats off to you-growing up in a rough area and being generous. I was out of my element and I am lucky to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
