I shout insults at every panhandler and especially people who I see giving money to them Shaming them both is the only way to get rid of them

Do Panhandlers know the beauty of there work You are a reminder to the Rich person who drives by you every day for work that "THE STREETS IS HUNGRY VATO"

Honestly I've never given money to panhandlers - I don't know why I just haven't Actually once I did but that was b/c someone helped me park and she only wanted 50 cents to get a muffin - and did go to a muffin shop so I think it was legit, but other than that no The strangest place I've been panhandled is Rapid City, South Dakota

If I have some extra food on me, I will give food to people who are visibly homeless every single time I have enough food and there is never a time when I think it is a wrong thing to give food to a hungry person Every time I have done this, the person has gladly accepted the gift of a snack or mealbrbrI never carry cash, so that is not usually something I even need to consider as a possibility Although if someone asks, and I have nothing for them I do try to at least make eye contact with that person and wish them a good day I may not always have cash, but kindness costs me nothing so I always try to give at least that

There are times in the past when I have given to pan handlers, when they seemed genuinely sincere about their situation I once saw an African American gentleman on the subway in Chicago who was a burn victim He had almost no fingers left, and his nose and ears had been burned away He walked through the train carrying a plastic bucket Without hesitation all the African Americans on the train reached for their wallets and purses and put money in the bucket as he walked by None of the Caucasians, including myself, gave him any money I promised myself the next time I would give him some money, but I never saw him again I still feel regret to this day I was so slow to react to his need

When I see people in front of Walmart with their signs, begging, I often ask myself, "How many job applications did they fill out today" However, I would give to that dog

I like to help people every chance that I get because I know what it is like to be down, and out
Comment from : @TheQuietAtheist

I give money to homeless people because I would want help if I became homeless, pay it forward

Comment from : @OMG_BeCkY

Comment from : @Mephistahpheles

Cash can be used for drugs too Just give them a bottle of water if you have one on you Give them an apple out of the bag of fruit you just got after leaving the gym shit like that is better than cash
Comment from : @toxickremedy

I give them boot straps, so they can pull on them
Comment from : @AbnormalWrench

I don't give a cent When any person is dependent on the charity of others walking by on the street(s), they're incentive to change to independently survive is annihilated
Comment from : @DixonFrancoisJr

I never give money if their sign reads on it "god bless" limits the homeless I give money to significantly
Comment from : @Pil0sake

I live in a suburb of San Francisco and I never give to people in the city because you are just overwhelmed with the insane rates of homelessness and mental illness but every once in a while a family will be in my local shopping center and i am compelled to give I probably give way more money than I should but I can't help but think that it could be me or my mom out there if circumstances were different I think kindness and compassion are so important when dealing with other people so I give whatever I can when I can afford it
Comment from : @alyssaberger7857

I kind of treat them like buskers and only give them money if they're doing a good job of panhandling
Comment from : @SoAndZu

Hey David, what if you win the lottery and people come out of the woodwork asking you for money with the same stories they have panhandling?
Comment from : @candyazz28

Panhandlers often approached me when I was going to work They almost always say it's for food I always offered my lunch to them and they always declined it, often with a sneer I offered 1 guy a yogurt and he said, "I don't eat that shit" One girl, in Bushwick, approached me holding a baby saying it was for "milk" There was a grocery store a few feet away I told her to come into the grocery store with me and I'd buy her any groceries that she needed She declined It's 99 bullshit
Comment from : @mmedefarge

i give them either bottled water or food never cash
Comment from : @JVlesmerized

I do - when I can
Comment from : @moviedude22

Giving money to street panhandlers is telling them "we are completely happy with you being here right on this spotwe do not want you to do anything for yourself"
Comment from : @topher2seattle

I can't afford to give away money, but I've never passed on bumming a smoke
Comment from : @JRibs

I never give anything to panhandlers I give food to homeless people though
Comment from : @meowskull

I don't give money, but if I have "extra" money I will buy food for a homeless person Food is already cooked and ready to eat
Comment from : @AnimalsandOtherStuff

I will give money to Vets on the street
Comment from : @TheGonzo1960

I am constantly reminded of the Holy Gospel according to St Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 31-46 That is how I would judge my own actions when approached by a Panhandler or Homeless person
Comment from : @MichaelBrooksmsb400

I don't carry cash all that often anymore Coins much less sobrThat said, I sometimes give some spare change to street musicians, if I find their music appealingbrbr"Tourist" beggars I despise and I ignore them as best I can, and tell all I know that they shouldn't give any money to them If they were so poor they have to beg for food money, how could they afford traveling from Romania to Finland?brbrPanhandlers get the standard response: "I have no cash on me" Once a woman tried putting her hand in my pocket after that response Gripped her wrist forcefully and I said "Listen, that is not how civilized people behave" Anyone trying that will be injured
