To the guy that asked us for change for “pizza” last night:
Fuck you! We had just gotten back from the grocery store, and we didn’t have any money – but we had food. Upon receiving some food, you proceeded to throw it over the fence. If you didn’t like the fruit we gave you (as you claimed) then give it the fuck back, don’t throw it away right in front of us!
I’m only one paycheck away from the street too, asshole. And chances are I’m more broke than you are. In fact I would have to raise a large sum of money just to be considered “broke”. So next time, if you’re hungry for crack, just say you want money for crack so we can skip this whole debacle.—The restaurant is closed

I’d leave the fuckers starve before they would get any bread or *change* for a bite to eat. What is up with these fucks trying to sell a bus ticket for $1.
That’s fucked, you gave him food and the asshole chucks it?!?! Fuck him, his belly is full from the soup kitchen, he’s looking for his next hit. Shit like this is precisely why I tell these assholes to fuck off.
I offered this guy a box of cereal once because I didn’t have any change to give (don’t ask why I was carrying around a box of cereal with me) and the guy refused because he didn’t have any milk. OK. More Cap’n Crunch for me then.
serves you right for falling for a sucker line like that. they can’t buy crack with fruit or food yet, as far as i know.
this is why i don’t give a penny to anyone anymore no exceptions
I’ve yet to meet a crackhead/alcoholic/drug addicted whore/etc who had any kind of penchant for truth. WHY would you expect truth? What they did with the donation is fucked and just provides evidence as to why the person is in such dire circumstances that they feel the need to fuck you over thinking that’s the best mode to get what they want. These people are dysfunctional. Hate them if you want but don’t paint them all with the same brush. The next time somebody asks for pizza money then gets pizza you just might have REALLY helped somebody so don’t let it getchya down, OP.
This guy tossed away my gift of fruit as well.. after he’s scared the crap out of me on numerous occasions by sneaking up on me in the dark for “pizza”. This guy is a creep and his after dark antics are going to get him hurt or killed by someone who is a lot more rage prone than I am.
Pineapples with roofing nails in them? Don’t offer them; drift them at his head then tell the police “He was drinking, and he had a pineapple.”
kay which is why telling these fuckards to fuck off is a good thing. They are nothing but a pain in the ass and a waste.
“nothing but a pain in the ass and a waste of food !”
There Bro Tim, I finished it for you .
But as I’ve posted elsewhere, they get nothing from me.
Next time you see a squeegee ask him if he’d like that fithly fuckin’ squeegee drove up his arsehole… it always gives them pause, especially if your a big ugly bastard like me growling at them.
I can’t believe how many guy’s lately are waiting at red lights to see if they can bum money from drivers !
there were some newbies at gottingen and north…best dressed/good looking, they were picked up by their mom
One day I counted four panhandlers between SGR/Dresden and Pete’s. More to come. Be patient.
Bro Tim… (from that other bitch, Classy) Do you really think the result of a public “berating” will result in the creation of a “new man”, an insta-grown-up or even provide motivation for a person to heal themselves or take steps to improve their shitty lives?… as if you really care? You don’t! Just shut up and move on! Maybe if you were the guy’s mommy but, since you’re not, such a response to a beggar is arrogant, pompous and downright MEAN in addition to being entirely ineffective….
kay, fuck off finally will you.
you’re not a superstar regardless of how many internet blogs you’re a member of and how often you post your redundant comments. i’ve taken shits that make more sense than you.
OOOOOhhhh, posts deleted! Now I won’t be the #1 poster like you strive so hard to be. And you’re obviously playing the victim by crying to the mods about people bitching at you. At the same time you’ll call Oceanlady a victim while you’re the biggest crybaby on an Internet blog.
Wow, to be 40 and have nothing going on in my life except playing victim on an Internet blog while projecting my own problems out into people I don’t even know.
Your kid must be suicidal having a mother like you. Dez must just have several affairs a week.
I have an ego? Wow that’s news to me. kay if you’re so concerned about the these “poor” people, offer them a job, whether with your company or to mow your lawn, run errands, etc and let us know what these “poor unfortunate people” tell you. I know what they’ll tell you and so do the vast majority of people not only in Halifax, but across the country and even in your beloved Calgary will know also.
I just tell ’em: ‘everyone’s got a sad story, buddy’ and keep walking.
And this is why we should not encourage pan-handlers to bum change. Everyone has a sad story. If you want to help donate you clothes, food, household items, etc to a charity that help them.
I’ve seen the same with the dude at Windsor Street exchange. People give him packaged food, while he dodges traffic running around with his Tim’s cup asking for change, only to leave the food just laying on the ground. Don’t you think if you were hungry that you would eat? STOP giving money to panhandlers and beggars. Until they learn, they will continue being leeches.
wish they’d get rid of the pigeon problem we have….. they’re getting fatter than the hobos…
shame on all of you for NOT giving the panhandlers money or food despite their antics….or so the Coalition of the Poor or whatever it is they are called would have you to believe. Ever notice that the people who go on the news to complain about not enough housing for the homeless etc are all dressed much nicer than us “working class” schmoes? Meh, ive flipped a twoony or two now and again, but the french fry panhandler was the best all time…hes lucky he lived through that day. Id rather give my money to buy a bottle of water for their pups than to the owners…free those street dogs!!
