What a nice guy

The sad thing is, he is illiterate and someone made that sign just to mess with him.

Live outside Philly. Major intersections have collectors holding signs, and the intersections always have litter.

Why do they not clean up the litter and hold a sign that says, "I picked up this intersection's trash. Please help me buy food."

Hard work, adding value, not simply begging. It works for me. But I have never seen it done.

Once, when I was taking a break from painting a house in Denver, Colorado, me and the dog wandered to the 7-11 at the end of the block for some refreshments. Hotdogs for both of us, a beer for me, and oh, the dog is thirsty, lets get him some water...really? Oh well, bottled it is then. We sat at the curb munching our hotdogs. Some dude parks his Benz at the pump, walks inside and as he passes us, he sees me in my ragged, dirt jeans, pulls out his wallet, reaches for a tenner, gives us a double take and realizes I'm watering the dog with Evian.

So he puts on his "awkward!" face and hurries off.

Nice guy?!

That's the best spot in town!

I used to make a solid $13 an hour standing there with my "NEED MONEY FOR BEER GOD BLESS" sign.

Now that that guy takes up my spot, I have to go across town. Yesterday I made 87 cents and some beef jerky.

So don't tell me he's a nice guy.

Fuckin' prick.

I kinda know this guy! I actually saw this same picture about a week ago on my facebook.

He's a cook at a restaurant I used to work at. Really nice guy, didnt surprise me when I first saw this a week ago that this was him. For those who want to know, this took place in Murfreesboro, TN

A homeless guy walked up to my car while I was stuck in traffic, and asked me why I was wearing an army t-shirt. I said it was cause I used to be in the army. He asked "how come you don't wanna help me?" I started to explain how I haven't eaten in almost a week and he cut me off with "cause you're a bitch" and walked off. Reminded me of that scene from "Falling Down".

Sometimes I wish we'd spawn computers vastly more intelligent than us, so they could squash us all out of existence in an instant. But the guy in OPs picture seems like a pretty baller guy. It's good to be reminded that we're not all bad.

My first thought was, "what if he's actually a homeless blind person and some jerk switched out his sign to mess with him?"

Homeless=/= unemployed. I've met homeless people who worked full time but couldn't afford a place to live and were stuck living in hostiles and homeless shelters. Scratch beginnings is a book about an able bodied college student trying to start over and see if the American dream is still alive. It took two months of saving everything he could living in a homeless shelter, buying everything at the dollar store etc. to find a place. He found a job that paid 12$ an hour, most people aren't so lucky.

There's a guy in Denver on 14th St that holds a sign saying "Try a random act of kindness." and that's all. Only thing is he's been there every day at 4:45pm for the last two weeks... can't figure it out.

This would be a nice change. I live in Trenton, somehow the richest and poorest part of New Jersey IMHO. There are two intersections where people have to stop to wait for the light and it's usually really busy, especially at 5 because you have people coming over the bridges from PA. So there used to be this black woman who was ALWAYS out there begging for money. I don't have a problem with giving a homeless person money, though I prefer to do what my mom does, I offer to buy them food, or offer them food i already have. You'd be surprised how often they act offended to be offered food. Obviously these are the type that want money for drugs or alcohol. ANYWAY this woman was out there in the shortest shorts, tightest shirts and my god she was ALWAYS ripped out of her mind high. You could tell from several yards away that this woman was just out of it. On top of all this she was NOT an attractive woman so I couldn't imagine that clothing could be helping her too much. Eventually I stopped seeing her, I imagine she either OD'ed or got hit by a car. Sad thing is, there's always someone there to take their place.

TL;DR: This was a nice change from what i normally see, hopped up druggies. If you want to be sure they don't spend it on drugs offer to buy them food, if they act offended... guess what!?
