In reply to: DRea 's message, "So, this morning I'm in the drive-thru for Snatch-In-The-Box (waiting to get my Breakfast Jack - yummy) and this older man comes up to my window asking for 40 cents to make a phone call... I immediately say "no", but then I started to rethink it, because it's only 40 cents right? So just as I'm about to call back the old man, I see him buy a newspaper!!! The bastard HAD money! I hate that, just when you are about to do something nice for a bum, they continue to perpetuate a stereotype, and spend their money on something other than what they said they "needed" the money for. :-P
So the moral of the story... don't give money to bums" on 13:17:21 07/19/01 Thu

Ok, when I worked off of Wilshire / Figueroa i used to see this bum EVERY day at the 110/Wilshire exit... so i would give him extra change if i had it.... so about two months into this, during lunchtime @ 7th st. Marketplace in LA i see the dude in Birkenstocks, shorts, straw hat, bag of clothes from Macy's, holding his chick's hand...... they were obviously NOT homeless... anyway, i was scammed and vowed never to give shit to anyone again................ But I caved in @ Alameda/101 (where the prison is, across from Wake'nBake spot) i was @ the Mobile station getting air in my tires and this dude walks up to me with papers in his hand w/ buss times and schedule, he told me he just got out of jail and only needed $1.00 to catch the buss home... seemed legit so i gave him the $ then went to get gass... as i'm filling up I hear the same story being told to the guy directly across the pump from me........ fuck liars, fuck bums.....
