I don't really have a problem with panhandlers, but couldn't they come up with something better than "My car broke down and..."??? I work in a part of town that has a few panhandlers, and it's always "My car broke down and...". I might give money to someone who asks, but when I hear "My car broke down and...", then I just tell them I'm not AAA. It really pisses them off when I give them AAA's phone number |
In reply to Message (25174.1.1) OT giving money to bums
By Desert Hawk - Tue 10/10/06 19:13:07 GMT One time here in Bakersfield a bum came into Taco Bell and asked everyome for money so he could buy some food. I gave him $1 and a few others did too. You would naturally assume he intended to buy something at Taco Bell. Wrong! He immediately headed across the street for Circle K, obviously to buy beer. Same thing happened outside a McDonalds. I never give money to bums anymore. As Tim Arnold, owner of the Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame (www.pinballmuseum.org) once said (at one of his old Fun Nights at the warehouse behind his house while raising money to open the Hall of Fame), "If you want to help the less fortunate, and I certainly hope you do, don;t give money to panhandlers. They will only use it for alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. Instead, make a donation to a responsible organization such as the Salvation Army". |
