I don't give money to strangers unless they're ringing a bell in front of a Salvation Army kettle.

I tried that the other day and he asked if I had paypal or venmo..


No one has ever dropped that one on me before, but if they did, my response would be to raise my eyebrows, shake my head, say "absolutely not" in a mildly disappointed tone, and walk away

I donate to Children's Hospitals and Children's Miracle Network.

I tell people that's where my money goes. I can't solve every problem, but I can do what I can without feeling pressure or guilt from panhandlers.

So I simply tell them "my money goes to children's hospitals", then walk away.

ETA: oh, and Trump. I'll donate to Trump stuff directly too. Not through GOP or Trump hanger-on shite - straight to Trump

It’s true but I do like mentioning my Jeep. I kind of wondered why she was hitting on somebody in a Jeep. We can spot a phony (i.e., Bronco) a mile away.

I looked and saw a morbidly obese woman, about 30, in a yellow print sun dress. She overfilled the driver’s seat.

She clearly doesn't miss a meal so she can't be that in need.

The best panhandler/homeless sign I ever saw was a black dude in DC. It read, "Not gonna bullshite. I'm just trying to get a bottle, a woman, and a bed for the night. In that order."

I stopped, talked to him a bit, and gave him $20. I can respect honesty like that.

My standard go to for “can you spare a dollar?” is, “sure, if you give me two”.

This is an old scam too. The "honest" panhandle. You fell for it.

If this woman had a sign that had her honest reason on it, I think it would say that the man in her life ordered her to go out and get more money to support his/their drug use lifestyle.
