the homeless

moodiejg [Edit] [Delete] 25 replies 01:14, 16 March '07

right, i do sympathise towards the homeless. but what i do object to is being approached at least 5 times in the pub by hobos. i literally cant stand it.

anyone else?

  • the other day a homeless asked me for money on the silverlink

    i said "sorry i don't have any"
    he said "okay no problem"
    my mum said "he STANK OF BOOZE, what's the point in giving him money he's just going to spend it on booze/!?!"
    i said "ok"

    • you didn't give him any anyway

      why would she go on a rant?

      also, i used to think that. now i think 'i spend my money on booze. why the fuck shouldn't he?'

      ex_cynic @klaire | 16 Mar '07, 01:18 | X
      • because she was angry that other people were giving him money,

        i guess. and you earned that money, it's yours to spend how you please. if that means funding someone else's good night out then so be it.

        • I took a tramp for pint on my birthday

          as he said it was his too, I doubt it was. Anyway, I sometimes share my lunch with a homeless man who frequents the park by the City Hall, he's a nice man.

        • hmm

          well i dont mind the occasional one but its when im bombarded while trying to talk to friends and such like.

          i sound like a prick but its really getting on my tits at the moment!

          moodiejg @klaire | 16 Mar '07, 01:18 | X
        • you should be flattered,

          I never get chatted up.

          !!!

        • i tried to give a homeless guy my beer the other night

          (i had loads!)

          "i dont drink beer"

          and everyone took the piss of me : (

          i was only trying to be nice!
          i'd want a beer of i was on the street all night!

          sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:18 | X
          • you really deserved it.

            guntrip @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:19 | X
            • WELL EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO BE NICE

              i'll just go burn in hell

              sophiacherryx @guntrip | 16 Mar '07, 01:20 | X
              • it's just not very tactful to

                assume that everyone living on the street is a raging drunk, that's all.

                guntrip @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:21 | X
                • I DIDNT!

                  i just had a beer in my hand and 4 more in my bag!
                  if i had a coke i'd have offered it.

                  YOU'RE the ones assuming

                  sophiacherryx @guntrip | 16 Mar '07, 01:22 | X
                  • HMMMM

                    to be fair, it's not as LOLsome as the cup/beer incident, but still...

                    guntrip @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:23 | X
                  • this is sad

                    she was being nice :-(

                    ex_cynic @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:24 | X
                    • thanks!

                      its true
                      im not assuming they are an alcoholic at all. just most blokes like a beer. no?

                      sophiacherryx @ex_cynic | 16 Mar '07, 01:28 | X
                • thinking about it

                  you know how you get blatent career hobos at livwerpool street/waterloo etc?

                  my mate deals with it by asking for change BEFORE the homeless person does. cruel but very amusing!

                  moodiejg @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:22 | X
                  • I've ponced

                    cigarettes off the homeless on more than one occasion.

                    Thom_fa @moodiejg | 16 Mar '07, 01:26 | X
                    • YOU DID WHAT?

                      be ashamed, that's awful. you horrid person

                      bobj @sophiacherryx | 16 Mar '07, 01:19 | X
                      • it's not the first time she's done it either.

                    • I got approached by a homeless guy in a pub once

                      I offered him 2p and he told me to fuck off :(

                      Zapsta | 16 Mar '07, 02:04 | X
                      • were you trying to take the piss, or not?

                        ex_cynic @Zapsta | 16 Mar '07, 02:08 | X
                        • I was trying to get him to piss off

                          so I guess it worked. Still, dispels the whole "beggars can't be choosers" myth.

                          Zapsta @ex_cynic | 16 Mar '07, 02:10 | X
                          • ...

                            My favourite homelesses are the ones that don't smell of piss.
