Bums are sucky, I don't care what their sign says, I don't give them money.

Re: Would you give this guy money?
There was a story in the Dallas News about a guy who does this for a living.
The lights stay green for 2 minutes and red for 1 minute. So that is 20 red lights an hour, if he gets $1 to $3 a red light, he is pulling down $20-60 an hour for 12 hours a day! He did 12 hours, from 7A to 7P, and he stated that he made about $80K-100K a year. Steve

I see these guys all the time and most of the time they don't even get ONE dollar per red light, much less 3. Anyway, I tend to drive around with a case of bottled water in my car, so I always offer them that instead of money. They're always appreciative. I used to give out food (like nuts and granola bars, stuff that doesn't go bad) but half these guys have no teeth and can't eat regular food. I've considered getting small gift certificates for restaurants and giving those out or else keeping canned foods in my car.

Re: Would you give this guy money?
That's almost as good as the one my wife and I saw in San Francisco. Some guy was holding a sign that said "Abducted by aliens, just got back, need bus fare, please help."
I almost gave him a ten just for the laugh we got...

Re: Would you give this guy money?
Definitely. It's not right, but I'm much more willing to give money to guys who make me laugh. I had one guy tell me he needed money to buy condoms so he and his girlfriend didn't make more homeless people. I was walking down the street wearing a Yankees shirt another time and a guy told me he would make the Yanks win the world series if I gave him a buck. We'll see how that pans out.
