Begging around Baton Rouge

A few minutes ago, I had a flamboyant black guy come up to me as I was leaving Walmart & ask for $35. He gave me a sob story about his car being impounded. Even went as far to say he would give me a free pair of shoes because he's a manager at Champs. After I said no, I watched him get in the passenger seat of a 90's Corvette & drive off.
It's weird to me because 9 years ago while leaving BRCC, I had someone tell me the same exact story. Minus the Champs part. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard this excuse around the Baton Rouge area?

Their stories have gotten more and more elaborate. I’ve had a couple ppl at college drive Albertsons/Walmart/postoffice give me crazy thought up bullshite. Car broke down, needs tire repaired, only need 9.70$ blah blah blah “I’m a teacher at southern and a minister” “I’m starting a new job tomorrow” “I just got discharged from our lady of the lake” the list goes on and on.

Jokes on you for listening. I stop them before the story starts.

I never listen to their bullshite. I tell them I don't have any money to spare when someone tries to approach me.

I stop them before they start. Then when they get pissy with me I shoot back with: “Hey, I am just maximizing your hourly income by saving you the time of giving me your bullshite story because I am not giving you a penny anyway but if you want to waste your time then go ahead.” It is hilarious to watch them roll that around in their head for a minute. Guy last week actually mumbled Thanks I Guess before walking off.

I had a guy tell me he hurt his hand at work. Then the next week his mom was sick. Poor guy has terrible luck.

Yep, I have been told that exact story about car being impounded multiple times. I don't ever give anyone begging for money shite. I just don't believe anyone asking for money that they will do the right thing with it nowadays. This includes kids with buckets begging for money for some bullshite basketball or cheerleader trip!
Sorry if that makes me a bad person.

Had one guy last week try to get $5 from me and explained he had just been released from prison serving 18 mos for an expired DL.
I'm no lawyer, but I'm fairly certain that a simple expired DL isn't going to get you 18 mos, by itself. This guy was as dirty as I have ever seen anyone. "Literally" looked like he had been rolling around in a dirt pile.

I had to pull a sword on a junkie beggar about 2 months ago. They are getting super aggressive!

My wife and I were moving our son in LSU a couple years ago. My son and I were upstairs and when we came down we seen her give a young guy some money, It was the " pop a lock story" scam guy that was on the news. She gave him $40 because she believed his story. Me and my son walked up on him a year later when he was trying to scam another lady and we called him out on it. He took off , my son wanted to beat that arse

I can't remember the last time I read one of their signs while waiting at a red light. I mean, is it possible that a single one is legit? I'd say definitely not.

I had some idiot that I actually used to know (he either didn’t remember me or thought I wouldn’t remember him) approach me with a sob story the other night. His story had all of the usual elements, i.e., the girlfriend all eaten up with cancer that he needed to get to, needing gas money to get to Jackson, Miss. (they all incorporate Jackson, Miss. into the story for some reason...it’s a dead giveaway).
I told the guy I didn’t have any cash, just a card. Then he asked me for a ride - I told him I don’t do that. He got pissed and stalked off...frick him.

I tell them that I was just about to ask them for money.

I’d be open to paying that extra half cent sales tax if we use the money to start a bum unit. When a bum approaches you just call the hotline and report it. The bum patrol will check out their story and arrest them for fraud if they’re lying.

You messed up by letting him tell his long sad fake story. I always tell them immediately no thank you and leave.

fricker walks up to me in Target with a sob story. His car is out of gas on Siegen out front and the cops are out there threatening to tow his car if he doesn't hurry up and move it.
I said funny, I just got here, and I didn't see any car out there on Siegen or any cops anywhere.
He just turned and walked away.

The big H has its meathooks sunk into a lot of people. I would say 99% of the beggars are trying to feed their arms.

I hate the ones that send their kids up to you in the parking lot
At least have the guts to ask yourself instead of using your kids like a toy
