I was walking through the city the other day and a guy asked me for a few dollars for food. Told him no I would not give him money but would take him to whatever shop he wanted and buy him lunch. He looked shocked and didn't take my offer. Obviously he wasn't hungry and wanted the money to buy something else.

A silimar thing happend a while ago a guy asked for change to make a phone call, again I said no but pulled out my mobile phone from my pocket and told him to make the call. He also didn't take the offer.

I understand that there are genuine people who are homeless and need some help, (I was homeless for three months a few years ago) but don't come begging to buy booze or drugs or shit, get a job.

[abelgold]

I saw one of those lazy beggars with the cardboard sign on George St in Sydney... he pulled out a mobile phone when it started ringing. He should really prioritise food and whores over a mobile phone bill..

Edit: A mate was speaking to one of these cardboard sign beggar dudes.. on a good day these fuckers will clear $200. FUCK! Christmas obviously increases their income too. Guess I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue

Once I was walking down King street between lectures, and this little old lady came up to me. She looked distraught and generally upset. She asked me for five dollars to get home, and claimed she was epileptic, and showed me one of those wrist band things. Being the gullible idiot I am, I gave her five dollars. Ten minutes later I saw her go up to someone else and repeat the act...

Same thing happened to me here last year. This crazy old lady was giving me a story about needing to go to the hospital so I gave her $2, the next day I saw her say the same thing to someone else... and when she walked away I heard all the money jingling in her handbag. :spingo:

This is why I never give anyone anything.

[t101]

I had a very drunken elderly aboriginal lady offer to give me a blowjob. Funny thing was there was no mention of an exchange of money for said services. Scary (and offer not accepted....)

After my very final exams at uni I was asked by a very jovial aboriginal man and his family if I had change for some food. I was in a good mood and had $150 in my wallet, so I took them all to Hungry Jacks. Got many smiles for that (well, except for the HJ's staff :D)

[iaidoka]

On a slight deviation.. what I really fucking hate is two guys who stand right in the middle of where people are trying to walk in the spencter st underpass.

One is a ugly seedy looking cunt who "plays" a recorder of some variety, standing in the middle ..

And another is an old fuck trying to sell "Big Issue".

If your going to beg, at least stick ot the sides, to let the traffic go past. Cunts.

[Sutter]

Buy the Big Issue if you see it, people selling that are genuine and not just kids after smack money.

[Gronk]

I have a cool trick where if you see someone coming up to you and you know they are going to ask for cash or a smoke you ask them "hey mate you got a dollar for the bus" first. Most of the time they crack a smile and say "hey i was just going to ask you that" and then leave you alone

[iaidoka]

I have no problem with people selling Big Issue. I have a problem with one dude who does so in an annoying fashion by blocking my way to da twain.

of course, thats home time 5:05 pm or so when my loathing for humanity is at its highest..

[gooey]

im not surprised that suck me off is coming second

[Hit And Rum]

Mr Curns. Me sick. Want money bad.

[timace]

nor am i. everyone wants pirate to give them head.

[NightLightness]

my uncle was homeless for over 15 years before he died of TB (in sth africa) and my parents did all they could before we imigrated to help hime. it is my opinion that most homeless are there for a reason most probewrly being drugs and if you give them money you are just supporting their habbit. so the best thing to do when they ask for some money is to walk into the closest supermarket buy and orange and give it to them with the words"so you don't get scurvy mate"

[t101]

Buy the Big Issue if you see it, people selling that are genuine and not just kids after smack money.
Pfft. Last time I was 'offered' a Big Issue it was from an obviously drunk man who then proceeded to loudly make allusions to my sexuality (HA!) when I declined.

I don't care what they're selling - if someone who is basically begging is gonna be a dick, they're not getting a cent off me.

[jasebert]

There is this guy in Canberra who gamlbes at the ACTTAB and asks for money to catch a bus home. He goes to buy smokes and gamble it away. He always wears the same clothes and on a daily basis asks me for money.
The last time he did, I told him to stop being a fuckwit before somebody beat the shit out of him..
If he was homeless and whatnot, I would be compassionate. But if somebody takes money to do that shit, well, that is just taking it from people who really need it in the end.

[hazza]

me and some mates were out in the city and some bum asked my mate for a dollar to get home, my mate being a 'nice guy' gave him and a couple of bucks, the dude then went straight into the 24 hour underground opposite the maccas in sydney (just near town hall) and into the gaming lounge, i laughed my ass off.

[ShinymetalASS]

Has anyone seen the artist in queen street mall? now thats enterfuckingtainment.

Not that I can _afford_ his art, but what a free show... kick ass art painted by a dude who aint firing on all cylinders

[Feryl]

When people ask me for money for food, I like to offer them food instead. Of course... that only really works if I have some food with me, or if there's a shop handy - but half the time they decline the offer anyway, surprise surprise.

[LauraleeBug]

Am I the only fool that said yes? j/w .... (i must be desperate....)

[Sashasword]

Wow, someone in ZGeek who's actually not in Sydney!
And yep, I have seen his work. Some of it is quite beautiful.
I'd actually think about getting one or two if they weren't so bloody expensive.
I mean, it's street art, you can only go so high... 'cept I think no one is as high as the guy doing the painting... :)

[ms edeity]

on the flip side- i once had a new puppy that chewed through my phone cord (god bless her) and walked 8 blocks to the only public phone around...country living is crap!...and it was out of service. i asked a guy in his front yard if i could make a local call and i would pay. he took out his mobile and said he would charge me $10. it was the worst day ever! i hate and usually never ask for help and the one time i did.....what a fucktard. i have run home to get panadol for a crying baby that i didn't know...karma is a load of shit. having said that ...i don't give money to homeless people either???!!!

[Cain-o]

I almost gave a guy with a cardboard sign $5. last week.
Then I noticed the other two guys in the bushes were exchanging money. One of the guys got up and started walking to the liquor store across the street. The other guy in the bushes got up and went to replace the guy with the sign. NOW THATS WORKING SHIFTS

[beachcomber]

Yes, but you'ld probably buy crack with it

[Up_All_Night]

man no way would i offer to a stranger to borrow my mobile, i wouldnt want to risk them pocketing it, doing a runner or what not.


the offer to buy them food thing, never done it, I might if i had the time to stop and actually buy them food. i usually get asked when in city before/after uni and i have my earphones in so i just make a no gester and go on my way.

Anyone else in melb had that dude say something like "I aint going to lie to you, i just want some money to buy a beer" except he uses that line to ever second person walking past.

i never understand how people have no shame, sometimes you get people who are dressed like they're going out, chicks that aint too bad, make up, decent clothes giving sob stories how they lost their bag need to make a phone call. Money for petrol to get home or whatever. Then u see them doing it to others, and heading off for a night out.

[Aurelius]

I saw a homeless guy once, wearing an obviously second-hand T-shirt. It had a Westpac logo and said "Ask me about your next home loan"

[ewe2]

I said yes too, but then i'm a chardonnay-sipping bleeding heart pinko liberal.

[muppet]

That guy in melb that says "i ain't gonna lie.. money to buy beer" has come to me for money too.
There was a 15year old kid in melb who also used to come up to me at least three times a week for money for food (when I was working at telstra blehblehbleh).. I got sick of saying no, so one morning, when i was actually early for work, he came up and asked, and I offered to buy him maccas. He took me up on the offer and I spent about $25 just buying him food. I figure for all those times that I said no, if i'd have said yes I probably would've given him at least $80..
Guess what? I ended up late and got docked an hour.. so it cost me anyways..
Now i just don't go into the city

[Truephoenix]

I hate the "tag team" aboriginals that ask for money to catch a bus in railway square in sydney. Usually a male and a female do the rounds then meet up with each other and walk down the street.

Fuckers taking advantage of other people's generosity, anyone else seen them?

[timo]

$1.79.....Sure....I'll email it to you....

[munganah]

get fucked bunch of scabby fucks go and earn your own cash

[Kerplunk8]

I tend to give the odd quid to whoever asks for it. I ever once gave someone an old pair of trainers that I didn't need anymore, and he proceeded to slip them on right there and then.
I figure he must've needed them, as I think they might've been two small for him.

[kev]

it all depends on how good looking she (take note of she) is

Theres this other aborigional lady that hovers around Newtown that comes up and gives you a speil

"Hi im representing the bangara dance company, and were currently raising money to go and do performances in the United States, we need $30,000 to fly 18 people over there, weve currently got $26,000, I can provide you with a receipt and its tax deductable etc etc"

very convincing, but apparently she's been using the same trick for a few years now..

[BlueBoy]

I think pliskin talked to her on Saturday night.

[Longbo]

Yes, but you'ld probably buy crack with it
On the other hand, if you're out of town and don't know where to score durgs from, these people can usually hook you up for a share of the spoils.

I have actually done this.

[ratbag]

I used to be really gullible and give everyone dosh when they asked for it. Now I’m a little bit wiser. If they are really in need, they will accept when you offer to buy them what they ask for, be it food, ticket to get home, a phone call etc, this way you can pick the dodgy ones out.

But be warned as I did have a nasty experience in the city once. This bloke (one out of a group of three or four) asked my friend and me for some cash. So I asked him why and what for. He starts telling me a story that he is homeless, hasn’t eaten in days, and he can’t get the dole because he does not have a residential address. So I offered to buy him some tea. I didn’t even get to finish that offer when he started spinning a story about how he actually needs the money, how his mum threw him out etc. He must have had a short memory span as I started picking the holes in his story right away. So he started spinning more stories to cover the holes, which in themself were full of new holes. The vicious circle continued.

It was late evening, and if you know Melbourne, we were walking up Elizabeth Street toward Melbourne Central, having started this “conversation” around the Bourke street mall. Two blocks later, I tell him I was going to give him some money, but as he is full of shit he is not getting any. The guy starts calling me names. I explained to him that such wonderful language is definitely going to get him some money – not. He got all hot under the collar and I had the impression that he wasn’t leaving until he received his reward – either willingly or not-so-willingly. I’m not a small bloke, but the fact that two of his mates were shadowing us across the street didn’t make the prospect of a punch up appealing. Thank God at the time my mate and I worked in one of the office towers next to Melbourne Central and we had 24hr access. He tried to follow us in and we had to pretty much push him out through the security door. It wasn’t a pleasant experience.

But on a happy note, it is worth trying to help – every so often you end up meeting a person that appreciates it. Plus it is the right thing to do and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

[smiff_f]

The latest scam in the Bondi Jct area which is happening at the Westfield Car Park.

Two good looking 18 year old women came to my car as I was leaving.

One starts wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, the other comes to your window saying 'hi' while bending over with her tits almost falling out of her shirt. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say no and beg you for a ride to the beach. You agree and tell them to sit in the back. On the way they start having sex in the back seat. Then one of them jumps to the front seat & starts to perform oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I was robbed last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, but I couldn't find them Saturday or Sunday.

Be careful......

[oggy]

this thread has been dorment for some time, yet the poll amused me...NO FUCK OFF!

[bOObs]

When they ask "Have you got any money/spare change?" just say "yes" and keep walking....

Don't you have a housemate for extra $ now?

[PsychoNavigator]

One time I was playing a gig at this club in san diego, and i was standing outside, and this guy walked up to me and asked me for a couple bucks, said he wan't going to bullshit, it was to buy him and his ole lady over there (pointed) a drink or two and try to get his nut. I gave him $20 and a pack of smokes, told him i hoped it would get him through the night. He was extremely grateful for it, thanked me wholly, and strutted off to his girl and dissapeared into the night.

One of the best moments of my life, seeing a complete stranger light up like that. Not something I would do every day, but he caught me in the right mood and his game was for real. Refreshing thing.

[Nagarjuna]

I have traveled throughout the world and beggars are everywhere, especially in third world countries. Most are scams that work in gangs.

I was in Delhi one time, and after getting to my hotel, a guy come up to me and said he needed to get some money to get a bus to his home in Nth India. I looked at him and could see he was fit. I said if he wanted money, then carry my bags into the hotel for me. He looked shocked, but agreed.

People with no arms or legs or both, the blind or who have a severe disability I will give to, but Fuck the rest. If your fit, then work for it.

I seen a guy in Nepal who had no money and a large family to support. He cleaned people's ears for them on the sidewalk! This guy I would help because he shows he is willing to do anything to put food in his family's mouth!!

I like the new Indonesian law:

RESIDENTS in one Indonesian city who give in to the tug of guilt could face three months in jail under a law criminalising giving money to beggars and street children, the city's mayor said today.

The new regulation approved last month by the legislative council in Makassar, South Sulawesi, is aimed at reducing the city's swelling population of beggars, Mayor Ilham Arif Sirajuddin told AFP.

"Under the law, people who give money to beggars will be jailed up to three months or have to pay a maximum fine of 1.5 million rupiah ($A169.88)," he said.

PS I got asked if "I had a spare smoke" the other day. I replied "Nah, sorry mate, They didn't give me any spares with this pack" :D
