WTF is wrong with people these days?

 

[pasickfuk]

[jjgold]

[keithrichard]

People see an old man and think I'm an easy mark. They don't know know me obviously.

 

[BobbyFK]

depends on where you live. Some cities are worse than others

People asking you for money

I though you meant from @jjgold

 

[Tanko]

Yes.... The people standing on corners at stoplights or at Walmart. They hold signs asking for money.

If you tell them you'll pay them $20 and hour to come do some menial labor, they'll tell you to go screw yourself.

A few years back, I brought a Whataburger meal to an old lady who was sitting at a light begging for money. She took the bag and thew it back at me and yelled, I wanted money not food.

Yeah, I don't give out money to anyone on the street anymore.

Don't get me wrong. I have compassion for those who are truly down and out. I've had experience with mental illness and seen friends and family OD and drink themselves to death or commit suicide. My beef is with the lazy ass scammers out there.

Guy outside the casino ask me for $20 to get something to eat.
I told him no, that if I did, he would use it to gamble and not for food.

He said, oh no sir I would not, I have gambling money.

Someone convince me this doesn't sound like JJ Gold.

Hilarious.

Whenever I get hit up I tell the person that Labor Ready (a day labor company) is giving out money. It goes by a different name these days but most people begging for money don't know that.

I had one guy tell me he already had a job. So I asked him, "So you spend money on yourself and you expect me to give you money to spend". Dumb ass. Then I told him that when I needed more money than my job paid me I got a second job and suggested he do the same if he wants more money.

 

[jjgold]

Never get too close to anybody that’s when the money starts as far as asking

 

[pasickfuk]

old ladies soft target. if you warm up to them they give to you without you asking
