A way to annoy panhandlers and possibly be entertained

I have started carrying a single shiny quarter in my pocket. When a panhandler asks for money, I show them the quarter and say it's all I have. If they still show interest, I tell them they have to work for the quarter, roll the quarter on the pavement away from me, and tell the panhandler it's all theirs. If they say any shite, I yell they don't appreciate someone trying to help them. Most just look incredulous. I'm thinking about switching to a doubloon during Mardi Gras next year.

I give them packs of ketchup so if they get that food they are looking for they have condiments.

Not at all. I support charities that work with the poor and homeless. I will give money to someone who looks truly down on his luck and may be off to the side with a sign but not really bothering anyone. But I'm not supporting bums who can work or addicts.

Then just say "I don't have any change" and walk away.

No need to be a dick.

You better hope you are never down on your luck. I have a feeling this one might come back to haunt you.

Yes you're a horrible a-hole. Your true colors came out with your shinny quarter example. Keep it up...karma will bite you in the arse.

OP has never actually done this.

When I worked at a pawn shop. We would super glue a quarter to the ground and watch the ensuing spectacle.

I can’t imagine a situation where I would expend the effort to beg for money when I could use that same effort to earn money.
