ii alwways do, there is a little man who hangs around outside the supermarket, i press the money into his hand when i shake his, so he is not embarressed in front of passersby and we have a few words
I used to, but not anymore, coz the last one i found out that asking for spare changes is their career. You think it's right to just ask for spare changes when you can use your hand to earn money?
Because of where I work, I get asked several times a day for spare change. I rarely carry cash but I do give them food if I happen to have snacks on me.
I don't anymore. I used to once in a while but not out of kindness, more due to being put on the spot.
Where I live I don't encounter too many people at all asking for change but I do get people asking me for a cigarette all the time. I bluntly say no, they're too expensive to give away. And it burns me up that people actually look at me like I'm being mean or even argue with me for not giving them a smoke-almost EVERY time!! They're $10 a pack for Pete's sake!!
I don't since I live in New York, and that's just not an option, since there are just too many people. I do give to charity, but I just don't feel bad for brushing off someone asking me for money, since I know that the money is probably doing more good that way.
no, cuz i live in brooklyn, here every1 asks for change, im not a fukin bank and they put themselves in that situation, its not my fault they dont have money
I appreciate the more honest and creative ones too!! The best one I ever saw was about 10-11 years ago near Times Square in NYC, an older black guy sitting on a crate with a money jar in front of him with a sign saying something along the lines of "Cuss me out for $1".
