I'm never helping bums out ever again
I had some bum come up to me in SF once and start telling me that I must be a marine because of how proud I looked. He then started telling me that he was a vetran and needed bus money. I gave him all the change I had, and he cursed me out and stormed off. I only had 37 cents on me fucker
When I had my business and one of side jobs was planting signs in the ground for construction sites, I would pay my son $15 for each posthole he dug, they had to be 4' deep and big enough for a 4X4. I had about 10 to do one day total of 20 holes, my son couldn't help me, and when I left the sign shop there was a guy standing there with one of those "Will Work for Food" signs, so I told him I would pay him $15 for each hole he would dig, and feed him lunch. His answer was "Just give me some money I can't do that kind of work." I told him to piss off, ended up putting all the holes in the ground myself in about 4 hours. The beggar would have made about $150 in two hours and had lunch thrown in.

I have had pretty good luck with helpin out bums.
the other nite walking back from the bar I had about half a sandwhich and some fries in a doggie bag and this homeless guy was just chillin pickin up cans n shit. So I offered it to him, and you would have thought I gave him a million dollar bill. He was genuinely grateful.
The other one was a guy who was sitting in front of the liquor store with a sign that said "Please donate a dollar to the United Negro Pizza Fund" I thought it was clever so I tossed him a 5 spot.

i must admit i've had good stories...
i just took a sticker off my windshield the day before.. this bum insisted on scraping every bit of it off for me. So when i went to go get my cigs in the gas station as he was washing my window, i picked him up a pack of smokes and a coke. he was so happy... and said that he wished more people did that for him instead of just ignoring him and leaving him to "fight da streets on mah own"... if i member correctly his name was tom.

When I was in Miami a couple months ago this bum approached me and asked for any money I could spare. I never really carry cash so I told him "Sorry, I don't have any change or anything." So then I continued walking down the street and I saw $2 wadded up on the ground that someone had dropped. It only seemed fitting that I go back and give him the money. It was like a sign or something.

well, i actually knew a bum in houston once. every thursday my friend and i would pick up some beer and go drink it with him.
he never asked for food, never asked for us to bring beer. he jsut told awesome stories and thanked us.
he died about a year and a half ago from cancer.

this bum ask me for some money so he can buy some food...i just kind of stared at him and told him i didnt have any cash with me, and went inside the store. then i come back out with a burger/meal combo for him paid for it with the debit card, and he says he doesnt want it... so im like ok fuck it... im eating this shit... so i ate it on the bench right next to him. yea fuck that

and one time this lady bum ask me for some cash so she can finally head back home to the next town. i was like alright sure how much? she told me 20 bucks so i was like, alright cool, i gave it to her....i figured if i was trying to go back home, id be extremely greatful to anyone that would give me a penny to help me out
the next day i saw her at another place doing the exact same shit... i was pissed... but i was late for work so i couldnt ask for my 20 back
h: yes i would have
