I've seen it frequently. I always offer to help them above and beyond a couple bucks cash. That scares them off.
I also ask panhandlers for any money they can spare before they ask me. |

My Boss' daughter use to just humble the fuggers.
"$10? For gas? How about you just admit yer' gonna' use it to smoke crack and I give you $20. Just admit you're a crack head and I'll double it..." Happened three times, each person admitted it and never came back...

We had a dude in Natchitioches, La. who did this all over town. He asked me several times in 4 different parts of the city, to lend him money so he could take his pregnant wife to the hospital.
Funny thing, I moved down here to Orlando and in the first week of me being here (I was living in my car at the time, but it was a Honda, so I guess they figured I had money?) I was approached by several heads asking the same thing.

Seems to me about 5-6 years ago or better 20/20 or 60Minutes had a segment on a PROFESSIONAL begger that they watched beg for 8-10 hours a day on three or four different street corners in NYCity. The guy got people to give him enough money everyday 5-6 days a week that when the correspondents followed him at the end of the day he went to parking garage got in his BMW and drove home to a decent neiborhood and parked his car in the garage. They then proceeded to go up to his house, knock on his door and exposded him for the fraud that he was. He slammed the door and declined interview. I would be willing to be he had to find a job after that. Enough people watch those programs that I bet they reconized him and his money probably dropped significantly? But sounds like the same thing to me as your gas money freak. .

About a year ago this guy comes up to me and starts giving me a sob story about having a family member in the hospital and not having any cash to feed his children. Supposedly he had money coming, but wouldn't have it for a few hours and his kid was really hungry now. I figured there was an 80% chance that he was just a bum. I told him that his kid wouldn't starve to death by waiting a couple hours. At this point he gets really mad at me, telling me I better get in my truck and get out of there or he was going to ge violent. I was more than happy to do that, but his reaction half convinced me that he was telling the truth. Still the kid wouldn't starve to death.

The Good Lord told us that the poor would be with us always.
So, when I am approached by a hobo or bum, or one of Mr. Rain Man's fraternity brothers in search of a handout, I always say, "Yes, my sad, downtrodden friend, I will give you some money if me and my friends can beat the crap out of you and video tape it." I save money and prove the Lord correct. FAX |

If people want money that bad, they should do what the rest of us do - sell blowjobs
