It came up in conversation recently. The regular grocery store that Jenny and I use had a sale and she was telling me how she and her son bought a ton and could not stop eating them. I was told I needed to get some.

But I didn't.

Not that that was the first time pistachios have been mentioned in my life.

Bought a bum a Big Mac combo after I stood up to give him some change and I realized I didn't have any change after all. Felt like I was pot-committed.

Guy wouldn't even pick up his food, he was too busy begging the rest of the store for "streetcar fare". I had to walk back to the counter and give him his free meal. He didn't even say thanks.

White bums are the worst.

thats bullshit. as soon as the guy went begging other people you should've bowed out. foking hustlers, giving the true bums a bad name.

How about those guys that sneak up on you at the gas station? I see why it works, you're usually kinda startled, and happy to give change to be left alone, since you're trapped there and can't walk away. I've been watching, these fokers use some tricks. I make sure I never give anything when I feel I might be getting intimidated into it.
I inadvertently gave a fat white lady some change recently, before I realized I got worked :facepalm:

I like the pot commited analogy btw
 
I like that too the odds were there. He was holding 10j puppyfeet and the board was kq puppyfeet and an off card, and he had someone betting into him so if that player was on a big K Machu was a 52.73% favorite which means all in is the move since he's favored and has fold equity as well.

The entrapment beggars are absolute bullshit and should be charged with misdemeanors.
 
reno cool

I fucked myself over. I thought I was gonna get away with a $1 donation, then I realized that my loonie was in last night's pants.
 
Some guy asked my dad for money once and my dad offered to take him to a restaurant and buy him a meal. The guy went with him and then about 5 minutes said "What am I dong here? " and got up and left. My dad probably tried to offer him some sage advice that he didn't want., or else the guy just wanted booze. Or both.
 
Once had a very upbeat bum start a whole story about regretting his tattoos, his previous gang life, etc. and blah blah blah, now he's turning his life around, going to Fort McMurray to get a job for Suncor, he was just short $10 for the bus fare. Again, I thought I had change on me, but the only thing I felt in my pocket was a 20-dollar bill.

Goddammit. Here, 'cause you're a good talker.

I would shoot myself in the face if I was in their situation.

I wonder what crack is like.
 
I hear ya pal. Thats what I usually say to people who complain about some supposed bums on welfare etc...: Do you want their life?

On the other hand I know that if I was broke I wouldn't be panhandling because I don't have the constitution for it. I would apply for some assistance or hang around shelters/soup kitchens, perhaps steal. And I'm sure there's many like that. So I kinda feel it unjust giving money to these fucks just cause they're more aggressive and annoying.

Or the guy thought "what the fuck am I doing at a restaurant with a cat?"

I was once at a McDonalds downtown and I saw a homeless guy sitting outside and he looked hungry so I went to get him a hamburger, but by the time I came back he was gone. A few minutes later, this other homeless guy wanders in asking for money for food. "I don't have any change," I said, "but I have a spare hamburger that you can have." He declined. Ok, no big deal, I'm sure I can find somebody who wants a hamburger. Sure enough, another guy came through shortly after (this is all during the time it took me to eat an ice cream), asking for money for food. So I offered him my hamburger, explaining that I didn't need it and I'd love for him to have it. He didn't take it either. So my friend and I finished the ice cream we were eating and went to find someone who needed a hamburger. There was a guy begging outside of a Shoppers Drug Mart, so I went up to him and said, "I don't have any money, but I have this extra hamburger, would you like it?" And he took it and said to me, I'm not even shitting you right now, "This would be better if I had a drink."
Moral of the story: volunteer or something because holy shit there are some dick homeless people and no good deed goes unpunished



Maybe they showed Food Inc. at the Toronto homeless shelter.
