To the Kardashian clone and her evil twin who, upon exiting a store on Spring Garden, replied to the street guy’s (polite) request for change “Sorry, I just spent all my money on REALLY expensive moisturizer,” then waddled off in her way-too-tight skinny jeans in fits of laughter…yeah, that was me who hollered “You are a vile human being!” at the top of my lungs. You looked horrified, and so you should. Even the street guy looked embarrassed for you. And you better believe if I see your sorry dipped-in-a-bag-of-Doritos fake-tanned ass again, I’ll holler it even louder. You vile, vile witch. —Karma’s Coming

And you probably scared the shit out of poor old Wino Willie, cuz there’s actin’ crazy and then there’s bein’ crazy…..
Do you live in Victorian England, who, in this day and age shouts “you are a vile human being” instead of the more up to date “way to go, cuntface”
i like it, it’s too easy to cuss
Just out of curiosity, what store was this? You, know, so we can Hollaback it as a place where women are verbally harrassed on the street.
Not sure how the poor girl deserved your snarky remark. One more beggar dissed is fine by me
Not sure how the OP deserved YOUR snarky remark. One more elitist, fake tanned bitch dissed is fine by me
It’s not like she said it to some starving kid in Africa. She said it to a street guy in Canada that actually has a lot of opportunities to be able to provide for himself.
I think what she said was a little bit tasteless but pretty funny too. I bet you just make up a lame excuse as to why you won’t give money, OB.. at least she was being honest.
Guess what, OB? Not everyone has the same sympathy for people who harass every single person that walks by them. I’m sure that the “homeless” guy didn’t become homeless because he has an impecable work ethic and is an overacheiver when it comes to ambition. Maybe it was a little rude to rub her wealth in the guys face, but, when you’re homeless and begging for other peoples hard earned money, you may set yourself up for criticism. If they were that concerned with what people thought of them, they probably wouldn’t be dirty, drunk and begging for change on the busiest street in Halifax. Besides that, my tax dollars pay for a social safaty net, providing the basic necessities for those who are unable to provide them for themselves. Anything above that, like alcohol or drugs falls under the catagory of “I don’t give a fuck”.
I’m with Naveed on this one. It may be tasteless but the gal was totally being honest and she has every right to say what she wants how she wants. Nobody owes a street person any respect or explanation when it comes to that person’s finances. Personally I don’t consider what the gal said to be tasteless. Plus if you ask a person for money, especially a complete stranger, you should be prepared to be told to buzz off.
When she was walking away and laughing it is very possible she was laughing at something she heard on Herman’s Head repeats last night.
By the way, OB, how much did *YOU* give to the street person? Did you buy them dinner? Did you give them a place to stay? Did you do anything to make that person’s life better?
Most of those people are fucking scammers anyway.
Alot of fat people are poor because they can’t afford good healthy food…Maybe she felt ‘better than’ because she just spent her cheque(our tax $’s)on expensive cream for her face and doritos.
Still street folks have feelings too.Some of them have pretty fucked up feeling.
If you knife one,do they not bleed?
If you kick one while they’re sleeping in front of the ATM your trying to use,do they not tell you to fuck off?
Blah blah blah.lol
i’m glad i don’t have to run the gauntlet on sgr http://www.metstoday.com/wp-content/upload…
I certainly don’t miss it.

Huh. I thought it was Ray J’s golden showers that did it.
The girl was just stating a fact … she DID just spend her money on expensive moisturizer. What did you want her to say …
Admittedly, I probably wouldn’t say this to a street beggar …
sorry, i must be slipping, i didn’t notice the k word http://i.imgur.com/gAjc4.jpg
am i beat. 500 fucking miles today. had to take a break with the old laptop. no, the o.p. is sadly mistaken here. the bum in question, was probly one of those that actually make more in a week, then she/he does in 3 months.
these guys as i’ve stated many times before, rent spaces from this bruce guy. he in turn, tells them and shows them, how to look more down and out. and he makes a bundle too. son bitch lives in a half million dollar home in clayton park, paid for by your spare change. a really good fucking racket.
LS- I was told the same thing.
Bahahahahaha!!! The all elusive “bruce” again, the Homeless People Pimp. Lololol, makes more in a week than the OB (who just bought expensive moisturizer from a boutique on SGR) makes in three months. Yeah… I bet you’re right LS, or could it be that Halifax really isn’t the richest city in the world, where even the homeless make as much as doctors, and there really are some shit poor homeless people beggin for change for their next fix. A magical conspiracy world, where LS wins a Pulitzer for investigative journalism.
If the moisturizer lady wasn’t a bit chunky, would you have let it slide OP?
I agree with whomever said that if one is to beg for a living, they have to expect a little negative feedback. Besides, I’m sure this guy has heard far worse than that.
What is with people on this forum and their obsession with karma?!
harper, you are without a doubt, the biggest idiot in the world. yeah, this dude actually rents out spaces to others to panhandle. what’s so fucking hard to grasp about that? he is a businessman sure, but of a different type.
some people rent houses, stores, cars, trucks, and whatever there is a market for. and he has i guess, been doing this for a number of years. the real down and outers won’t rent from him, so they have to find a place themselves. and if he finds out, well he sorta strongarms them out of business. sort of like a mini mafia type dude. he isn’t small either. quite a size to him, about 200 pounds and about 6’2 or so. you’ll know him if you see him. he used to hang around the pizza corner a year ago. best way to really spot a real bum, look at fingernails, and and hands. neat nails, and softish hands, you know you got a con.
Around town you become used to the regular beggars and can usually tell the professional one’s from those truly in need just by talking to them every once and awhile to see what kind of shape they’re in. Then if you see his or her’s health slipping buy a few cans of chilli (the kind with vegetables in it as well) and hand it to them with a smile. If they have a dependency problem (heard meth is pretty bad these days), at least you know your not contributing to his or her habit, and chances are they will eat it. Might even give them enough energy to put them on the right mind track to quit, finally call a loved one for help, or just walk to a shelter.
LS I think you should write novels or something (I pity the editor). Make the main character have a vampire love interest and you’ll be the one making millions with a mansion in Fairview! You’ll be able to buy wieners at the corner store and not give a fuck about the price! Life won’t suck!

I live in said neighbourhood, and there is no Bruce.
Noone “rents” the “spaces”.
Now, OB.
It’s a sad statement that you feel so powerless about your own life that the only way you can
Exist is to
Choose to believe in the magical thinking that If Someone Hurts You, The
universe Will Exact Revenge In Your Name.
There is no such thing as karma. We all die. Good things happen, bad things happen. For some reason, for no reason.
And btw: how much money did YOU give the poor bastard?
Maybe you should worry about your own sad little life before believing you need to exert control over the lives of others.
I await evidence of the fabled Bruce.
And no, I won’t suck Seb’s cock. But I will stop interrupting you while you’re sucking him.
Common courtesy!

Oh Bruce L M F A O
I’m laughing you see because ….I know a guy who knows a girl who went out with this guy from Halifax & his sister’s best friend knows this Bruce guy …..
wow, this guy? http://canitbesaturdaynow.com/images/fpics…
Nah, LS. I’m not the biggest idiot in the world, close…but not quite. See, I know where my shift key is.
and how to abstain from the ever so inviting comma.
Boru… you heard that before because you were talking to the suckster
Bruce is a tall lanky man with dirty blonde,shoulder length,fuzzy hair. I was told he brought in $60 000 last year.Someone I know that hangs out on SGR pointed Bruce out to me.
Boru-
That man’s name is NOT Bruce. I’m not going to post his really details, due to respect for his privacy, but he does NOT live in a big house with a car etc.
The guy you speak of is just another SprGar beggar.
Wp
Bruce told me to tell you to stop talking, or there’ll be consequences. You’ve been warned. Dun dun dunnnn.
Oh yeah, Bruce said to watch out.
🙂
