re: I'm Sick of Panhandlers

I'm amazed at how coordinated the panhandlers are at the College Drive off ramp at I-10. I take that exit to go home every day from work, and every single day there is one panhandler there, begging money from cars. They never miss a single day. If this was a work crew, they would be the most reliable work crew I've ever seen. And here's the amazing thing. It's always a different hobo. It's almost never the same guy (or gal) twice. It's a different motherfricker pretty much every day. What is there, some sort of website telling these people where to beg in Baton Rouge, where they can sign up for certain days or some shite? They've worn a little path in the grass from walking up and down the off ramp. It's ridiculous.

Take college/corporate everyday. No clue how true this story is, but I was told they essentially have a pimp. He gives them a place to stay, they pandhandle and he gets a %. Thats why they rotate locations/areas.

All of this. I use the same exit every day. Last night I almost hit the dude cuz he ran in front of my car trying to get back to the median after crossing lanes to retreive money.
And you're right. It's always someone different but there's always someone there. I've seen groups of like 2-3 of them sitting under that nearby live oak and they will take turns begging for money. It seems pretty organized.

I used to work a job at a place near an off ramp in New Orleans. This group of vagrants would spread out a blanket in the grass between the lanes of the interstate and pass a good time while one would work the off ramp. At regular intervals, the one would come back to the group, hand off the sign he was using to the next bum in the rotation, and take a break. It was a pretty efficient operation.

In Austin, TX, there are usually 4 panhandlers working every major interstate/service road intersection. I don't know if they claim their spots by showing up first, or if they have some sort of a system to keep it all organized. I can't believe that all of the liberals in Austin haven't taxed themselves to provide for these poor downtrodden brothers and sisters.

I cannot describe how accurate of a paragraph this is. It is always someone different. They have to have some sort of pimp or "master" so to speak pulling the strings. These people are the fricking worst. Actually, the idiots who buy into their scams are even more worse. How people are that dumb truly amazes me.

Same situation on a smaller scale on I12 exit on O'Neil. Has to be someone coordinating that. You can count on a different person there every afternoon.
