Doing NOTHING really... just asking people for money,Doesn't sound too rough....

There was this dude in Fontana we use to call fat Jesus. When he died Fox11 did a story about him. He got arrested a bunch of times for panhandling and other stuff but what was funny is that Fox showed this guy getting into a new 95 Silverado (at the time) and had a nice house and everything. I almost died laughing because I thought Fat Jeses lived in a van down by the river.

Brian · 10-11-2008, 01:10 PM

.....and there is my point.

I wouldn't mind trying it once,

but I probably wouldn't make nothin!!

I'll just stick to my real job.

Haha.

Do it!

Then update this thread with how much $$$ you made.

Brian · 10-11-2008, 01:16 PM

Well, I'm sick right now, that would help me look like more of a creep...

shishcabobers · 10-11-2008, 01:18 PM

Yeah, my classmate told me about a bum in San Fransisco he knew, he pretty much made bank,had a cellphone, and was gonna take a gray hound to Florida where he was gonna have his vacation. Or those bums you sometimes see at the side of the road and you see some type of car across from it, makes you wonder

. Same friend told me that he saw a mercedes across from a bum he saw once.

There also was this one time when I use to work at carls jr when I was 16. I was walking back from the local 7-11 because I bought my lunch there, and this bum comes up to me and asks if I can get him a free burger. I told him that we aren't allowed to do that, then he starts yelling at me why I can't give him a burger, that he would give me food if I was in need, and says something about giving things away if im christian. Anyways I was scared shitless because I was so young and he was some burly old dude, I ended up giving him my lunch. He didn't even say thank you or anything, and come to think of it he didn't even ask if I could share my food. If I could go back in time I seriously would of handle that situation so much differently...

Include in your brilliant career planning for these people the serious mental illness part. Schizophrenia is brain damage. It wipes out huge areas that you need to live your life. Yeah if *you* were homeless you could sit in an interview and get a job. A schizophrenic can't. Check out a schizophrenia simulator

Janssen: Exclusively Dedicated to Mental Health

It simulates just the hallucinations. You can't simulate the other stuff - the delusions, the confused thinking or the damage in the frontal lobes that hammers the ability to organize and plan.

ALTRNTV · 10-11-2008, 02:10 PM

I know all about that schizophrenia. I live with a grandma with Alzheimer's.
It's sad.

lucky7 · 10-11-2008, 02:13 PM

there was a guy that tried to get monies from myself and a friend one night. it was awesome. he was like, "first of all, i am homeless. but i aint a lazy ass bum like the rest of these guys askin' for money." he had a bag full of cheap cell phone covers/cases he wanted to sell us. i dont generally carry cash, otherwise i would have prob bought one from the guy on principle alone. even though, i sell cheap phone cases.

he said "i dont expect nothin' for free." i wish i had a $5 for the guy. i can appreciate an attitude like that.

another night, i observed a homeless guy approach a group of 3 guys. they were all 3 just coming out of the casino, and they were shitfaced. the homeless guy asked if they could spare some change, and the guys COMPLETELY turned it around on him. the homelees guy had on what appeared to be a silk dress shirt. one of the 3 drunk guys said something like, "thats a real nice shirt? where did you get it?" then the other 2 joined in. "yeah, that IS nice." "damn man, we should be askin' you for money. that is one sharp ass shirt!" "you're dressed nicer than i am." the homeless guy couldnt come up with anything. he was speechless. it was brilliant! i was laughing my ass off. funniest shit ive ever seen.

2. Go try to earn money in a decent way. Selling oranges, flowers, fruit, corn, ice cream. Fucking hold up a sign for 10 dollars an hour. Fuck that...

Actually i dont think they make hundreds. Many of them sadly waste the money on drugs/alcohol. I still feel bad for some of them though so i give some spare change. Not like a buck is going to make em wealthy at all. They just live day by day not knowing if theyre going to wake up the next day. Its pretty sad. I see a bum everyday outside my community college laying next to his shopping cart and the bus stop.

damn dude that sucks. Those are they type of bums i cant stand always picking up a fight and stuff.

majuljo · 10-11-2008, 03:06 PM

i was up in long beach once at game works and this homeless guy with a guitar said he would play us a song for anything so my friend gave him a quarter(yeah i know). he played basically just noise on his guitar that wasn't tuned and only had 3 strings. after that this girl sat down close to us and he starts talking all loud asking us "DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO A GIRLS HEART?" we all look at him and he screams

"YOU GOT TO EAT HER PUSSSY!!!"
true story i swear

Rayne · 10-11-2008, 05:55 PM

I give what I can. What the individual does with what I give is their own business.

They are brilliant, true sales people getting money the easiest way possible. I do NOT give them money at all! I feel that if people stop giving them money then they might actually go and get a job to support themselves or their habits.

SilviaDoctrine · 10-11-2008, 08:23 PM

As much as I believe that they could be more productive with themselves, I still feel bad for a majority of them. I hardly ever give them cash money, but I'll go and buy them a burger or taco.

aNskY · 10-11-2008, 09:46 PM

i had a (rich) buddy who would dress in shit clothes and sit on the bridge and beg... he made bank. i think its funny that people actually just give random people money

CrashQueen · 10-11-2008, 09:55 PM

i usually do give my change to homeless people on the street, if i have any change to give them.

aside from this, I've started this idea a couple christmas' ago that instead of buying gifts for my family that they really don't need, I save and buy gifts for the homeless instead. I've already given them a heads up so they know not to expect anything from me. Instead what i do is call up the local homeless shelters, get an estimate of how many women and children occupy the facility and then i buy the gifts accordingly.

Last xmas i made about 50 gift bags for the homeless women containing womanly necessities and then i set up about 100 boxes of crayons and coloring books and sketch books for the children to inspire the creative minds that children naturally have.

this year, I am still planning it out... I would like to provide them with clean warm blankets and other things... something useful for sure.

Yeah true. I'm not saying I would do it though. Lol... I'd just rather waste 15 bucks on a claw machine like I did today at Six Flags...

On a positive note, I do recall this one time we went to lunch and were confronted by a bum outside the restaurant... So this guy tells one of my buddies, "I'll bet you a dollar I can tell you where you got your shoes" so my buddy says, "Fuck it, go for it. I didn't get them anywhere in this country so good luck." The bum says "That doesn't matter to me because right now, you got them on your feet." Ha!
We were rolling so we gave him a buck... Bastards are getting creative...

*DALAZ_68* · 10-12-2008, 02:39 AM

honestly I got pissed off at a guy...

so i went ot mcdonalds bout 2-3 years ago...and this bum out side was like, can u spare change,, honestly i didnt have any (paying wiht debit)

i felt bad so i went out of my way to buy him a breakfast meal with Oj

i go outside , give him the food and tell him sorry no change but heres breakfast on me...he takes , doesnt thank me, i walk away....from my rear view mirror i see this motherfucker throw the food in the trash can...oj and all...

4 days later, same mcdee's, same MF, asked me for some change, i just ignored him, i had cash and asked for 2 dollars in quarters, i made sure that MF heard my shit...and ignored him...

the only homeless i help out are those who ask for food,if im walking out of a restaurant and he askedme for my leftovers, obviously ill be like sure since i usually dont eat it...and then i give themn like 2 bucks for a drink and tell them here buy urself something to drink, one guy teared up on me, which was crazy...

but others though, who i offer my food to, bitch out and ask for money, fuck em i say... help those who want food...and not the ones asking for money

punk138 · 10-12-2008, 03:09 AM

speaking of creative my friend told me a bum story. he said they where going to staters to buy liquor and spotted a bum asking ppl left and right for money. so theyre like fuck hes coming towards us. the other homie says i got this, so the bum comes up and b4 he could say anything the homie say's " hey man can you spare some change? my car ran outta gas and im kinda hungry" the bum was speechless. lmao

1989rps13 · 10-12-2008, 03:32 AM

turtl631 · 10-12-2008, 01:38 PM

A pretty large proportion of the homeless population suffers from mental illness. It's a bad situation...we don't institutionalize mentally ill people like we used to, but now there are just a lot of them wandering around homeless, not getting the care they need.

Exactly. Ever see the homeless who talk to themselves or to inanimate
objects, such as poles or fire hydrants? Sad...

singlecamslam · 10-12-2008, 03:00 PM

Theres this one bum around my neighborhood which i had a good conversation with one day, its the least i could of done. He told me a story of Hitlers hidden treasure that he was looking for. I was like "ok" "hope you find it" He didnt ask me for money or anything but this guy was all bones, so i gave him my lunch when i was starving. I feel really sorry for the guy.

surge s14 · 10-12-2008, 03:25 PM

one time we were staking and a bum dropped a doller gave it back to him and we gave us back a $10 were like na man its cool he just walked a way

lolatclint · 10-12-2008, 04:08 PM
