I almost always ignore them. One shined my shoes the other day though, and did a real good job so I gave him a few bucks.

How, do you deal with them?  In your experiences, what have you told them?

When they ask me for change, I tell them that change comes from within.



I give them money because a dollar to a starving person is nothing to me and the world to them. Or just give them food.  Man up. Help out.


Change comes from within?  If my house had just burnt down or my kids just died and I lost it and was on the streets and you told me that.......jesus.  Change comes from within? I just can't get over how immature and simply rude that is.


That is a prick thing to say for sure.

But how immature and rude is it for a grown adult to stop strangers and beg them for money?

Might be the last desperate act of a person who had been kicked in the balls by life. Might be a cold scam. Judgment needs to be used.

"sorry, I have no change today."

"Sorry, i'm a broke college student."

I kickback to some panhandlers, but not others.  It depends on their vibe and stuff.  I give Louie like 10 bucks a week because he is amazing. :shrug:

I was homeless before for a couple of months. Not long and not super serious. I wasn't a crazy person, drug addict, or felon. Just a kid that got kicked out with no friends and in a the middle of a recession.

I went to the county building and got food stamps. $200 a month. Since I wasn't out begging for money for food, I was able to spend my time going to different temp agencies looking for work, going to the library and searching craigslist for jobs. You know, doing things to better my situation.

Eventually one of the temp agencies sent me an email for an interview. I had zero job history as well so it took a little while longer than it does today for me to find a job. With my first check I gave almost all of it to my sister and asked if I could live there, she said no but changed her mind a couple days later.

If your not an obviously insane person, I won't give you money. But I learned out there that a lot of homeless are just not all there, that's why they are homeless. When a 21 year old kid is asking for money outside a liquor store and he has a big ass dog and a skateboard and a cool hat. I just roll my eyes.

I deliver food for a living from many top restaurants,make sometimes the customer puts their work address instead of their home address. So I get to keep the food, most of the time it's some fancy pants bullshit I wouldn't eat. So I try to give it to people begging. It's a lot harder than it seems sometimes. I've had to throw food away before because people wouldn't take it.
