Ask Your Question today
A bum at a corner selling newspapers just asked me if he could borrow my credit card to get something to eat. When I told him that I didn't have anything, he got upset. Is It Normal?
Oh, he was probably trying to steal your card! Or maybe he was STARVING TO DEATH and maybe he died because he was STARVING TO DEATH. How could you be so heartless!
Ive given all the money to the Salvation Army and the bums with their hands out I'm going to for quite a while. I swear some of these bums are making more damn money panhandling then i make working.
NOBODY should ever try to ask you for your credit card. Even if you had one you should never give it to ANYONE. It's a dangerous person if they want your credit card....to random of a question really.

I am glad you said no! Trust me, he did not want food- he wanted to steal your credit card that's why he was so mad at you. Good job thwarting his attempts at identity theft!
I have never seen a bum with a sign:
"I am being honest. I need BOOZE money"
I will hand him AT LEAST $20.
A lot of people ask for smokes and money I just tell them straight to FUCK OFF and yes they do get upset but dont worry about youve got money they havent
I watched a program about this very thing, it was called "caught on tape" Heres this guy in Las Vegas Nevada Panhandling for a 8 hour day at quitting time he slips back on a side street where he parked his Range Rover and drives away.
They pulled this guy over, and he had over a thousand dollars he had panhandled in a single day, Now I would say that is some pretty damn good wages,wouldn't you?
But isn't telling them to "F... OFF" a little dangerous? I'm afraid that they may have a knife, gun, or something else under their coats.
Ehh, its normal for him to get upset because he has probably asked so many people.
But the chances of him getting a credit card from someone is very UNLIKELY. Unless the person's IQ is very very low.
I know I know, I made a lot of spelling mistakes lol. but you get the point.
Not normal. In bum circles, the more professional ones never ask for credit cards-- cash only, so there's no paper trail.
Most of bums are mental retards that have been abandoned by society, just give them the cold shoulder because karma does not exist, I once gave a bum $4 for a meal, he even asked me for more... I said no, I already wasted $4 on that bum, I should have kicked him instead of being a Good Samaritan, I was so young so stupid, I had money back then.
They just want you to feel sorry for them and give them money which no doubt they spend on drugs or alcohol, If you really felt that bad i'd buy them a bag of chips then you know you've given them something and if they turned their nose up at that they're not really that desperate, plus I think you're a kind person if you felt concerned about it too. :)
What hobos and bums do with the money you give them for ''food''?
TRUST ME,They get food sometimes for garbages.
they EAT.
They get THAT money to SNIFF MORE COCAINE.
FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Never lose site of the fact that a lot of your veterans of war are now so called bums! Your country is not good at looking after those who serve her!
Ohhh big fucking deal..you're from Wales! Wow and how big is Wales...hmmm lets see...that would be smaller than New York State...smaller than than the state I live in which is NY. So shut the fuck up.
EXCUSE ME! What difference does the size of ones habitat have to do with the size of ones brain? It is a matter of fact that Americans have smaaler than average brains. Is that why you try to bring size into everything? Size is totally irelivant. Vatican City is the smallest in the world but it is also the richest so where does size fit into that?
Thats because the church has ripped people off for thousands of years. I doubt you have the same homeless problems we do. I doubt you understand the level of scum that walks our streets wearing camo pants with a sighn saying "vet needs help, merry christmass" because they know that a "vet" might stand to make a little bit more money when in reality they are not a vet just a drunk.
I'm a fucking vetran nearly and I dont give a flying shit. They have benifits that include full medical and dental if they choose to use it but they would rather sleep in the woods and drink all day. ITs all a scam whether you believe it or not and most of the guys who say they are vets arnt they just use it to get more money for booz. No bums in this country die of hunger trust me!
i hate homeless people they are too dumb to freeload off the government
I hate bums I hate how they tri to play it off like they are down and out when in reality they are just drunks who only want more booze. I never give them shit.
