Do any of you give $ to people asking for $ at intersections?

FYI: most of the moochers make high 5 figures to low 6 figures, annually.

[Tits McGee]

Can't afford to. Friends and family suck me dry!

.... but my wife went through the drive thru and picked him up a hamburger and took it back to him.

If you live in Austin and don't call the hobos "Intimidatasaurus Rex" then you might as well turn in your , and if you don't know where that term comes from you might as well turn in your balls while you're there too.

but what would half of the posters on this thread do if i didn't spot them a buck or two now and then ?

[RandomGuy]

No, I do not.

Aside from the fact that I rarely carry cash, I know that most of the really "needy" people there... aren't.

I might give some to the firefighters' "fill the boot" campaign or something similar.

I donate what I can to legitimate charities, and will probably raise that contribution a little this year.

[desflood]

I always give to the firefighters, never to anybody else.

Now you have gas stations asking for $ when you check out. It's a legit charity but still get's on my nerves when the guy at my Valero knows me well enough to know that I already gave the day before.

not really their fault, the company makes them ask everyone

I worked in DT Houston long enough that I am pretty good at seeing those who really are in need. I was raised to believe that "there but for the grace of God go I" and so I will give. I do it for sincere reasons, and I figure they will have to answer for what they do with it.

I do not give to churches or other unknown charities asking for money. They are healthy and can raise it. Same with kids- I am bothered by parents who have their kids begging for money at the corner for a sports team. Have a car wash- a bake sale- rake leaves- do something to raise the money.

Me too. Atleast I know they are legit.

[blkroadrunners]

It's worse when they ask for money at self car washing services.

My favorite is when you see someone panhandling with a 12-pack of Bud Light stashed behind him. One got pissed when I asked him "what the ? you need a 30-pack now?" when he hit me up for change.

[man on wire]

I'm always broke so I don't give.
