Hello..... "pan-handlers". Can't stand these people. I've seen them, male, female. Their stupid little signs-"will work for food", "homeless", and the catchy, "homeless and hungry" (a double whammy on the guilt). And sometimes you get the "Disabled Vet". I have had a few in my time, as I'm sure you all have at intersections. One I remember well. A guy in a camo jacket with a beret on came up to me at a gas pump and said he was a "disabled vet" and ask for money. I calmly told him I was too, (which I am) and I have a job, then gave him directions to the nearest VA Center. Another I saw was in front of 7-11 asking for money, a man asked him, "You hungry?", the guy said "yeah", the gentleman said, "C'mon, I'll get some food". The guy came out pissed because the man was going to get him food not money. When you see the people at the intersection think twice. Don't even make eye contact with them. Or if your feeling "saucy", have them dance or tell you a joke, hell sing a little tune for the money so badly want. That's degrading you say?? And standing at an intersection begging for money isn't??? At least they would've provided some service for YOUR hard earned money......
