Kinumi Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 normally i'd agree but i am aggressively bad at saying no to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Depends actually. Sometimes i see the same guy who always makes a smiley face out of pennies he gathers. He always gets my change. If they invade my personal space bubble, they do not get my change, and have me saying "im sorry but i dont have any." Do not invade my personal space bubble, otherwise you get no change. If i have no change, im honest and say i dont have change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughx Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Don't give him/her money, I don't want them to use it for drugs/alcohol... Maybe give them some food and/or clothes. (Canned food if there is a shop close) - Many beggars are there because they've health issues/addiction problems, so giving them money directly won't help them at all.

Tao Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I don't usually notice. :T And I usually don't give money to beggars. Edited June 8, 2016 by Alisa Reinford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Depends, honestly. I'm likely to give money to buskers, usually give money to passive people with signs (and dogs), but if I get approached it's usually the "ahh sorry mate I've not got any change on me" sympathetic brushoff. Mostly because if you get a sob story they usually, sad to say, are a load of bullshit. I had one guy approach me twice in the space of two hours in different locations offering different accounts of why he needed money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I usually say no, I don't have any change. The money I do have is for my alcohol, not theirs. Edited June 8, 2016 by Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I usually give whatever change I have. A dollar, sometimes, if I have less than 30 cents on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koneko Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I usually ask them if they need me to buy anything for them or their family. From there I would buy them a meal or stuff they might need for their children like diapers, formula etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvette Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I won't give them anything, I just ignore them. I like a little natural selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I usually give unless they are trying to scam me (selling used transit tix). Or if I don't have any singles. I have given more than 2 bux at times but 1 or 2 is the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Karnage Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Kick them as hard as Thane Thane's passion to tell everyone how much Fate's story sucks. jk, I'd either ignore them or give them some pocket change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
