Corner of College and Corporate Beggers

Also, do you think there is like a begger boss that they report to?

You think its a coincidence that there is never more than one beggar there at a time and you dont see the same one more than once every two weeks?

Ones on the bench are legit waiting on the bus.

probably Circle K beggar

It's the same ones every week. Sometimes they are holding a sign. Sometimes they're on the bench. They swap out.

I've always assumed this

they have weekly meetings near the waffle house on college to go over schedules

College and Bennington are the ones that get me awkward. The dude in the wheelchair with the twisted leg. He will give you the drunk evil eye if you are sitting at the light next to him.

Gutter punks are all the same....

His t shirts bring something else to the begging game, he doesn't bother me

There's the one guy that doesn't even look homeless. Like at least put in some effort and dress down a bit. Pretty confident he's the boss. And you know he's smashing the one woman.

I have to do the awkward look at my phone to avoid eye contact as they stand by my window

Not me. At least not any more. When I was younger (in my 20s), bums made me feel super awkward and I had a hard time finding a way to respond. I never game them cash but I always felt like I had to make up some lie, such as "I don't have anything but my debit card on me" or some such.

Now, I either straight up ignore them or tell them no to their face with full eye contact. I bust my arse for my money and I'm don't feel the least bit shamed or guilty for not buying them booze.

Since these MoFo's like walking the streets, the city should hire a bunch of these frickers to clean the litter on the street. Give them a dollar for every 30 gallon trash bag they fill up with trash and soda cans. They obviously love the outdoors so have a few of these dimwits chopping wood or laying brick at a construction site. These frickers don't want a job. They want a handout. It an occupation for many. They laugh at you hardworking folks.
