Default "Will work for Food"

Why is it whenever you offer one of these people either work or food they are disgruntled?

I had a homeless guy come up to me at KFC in St Louis and asked for money to buy some food. I offered him my meal right there, that I didnt even touch yet and he said something along the lines of "forget about it" and left.

******* picky *** hobos!


On the other hand though my nephew used to pay Jobobo The Hobo (thats what they called him) a dollar every time he would take out their garbage.

While eating dinner with my friend and his parents one night, we were approached by a hobo as we entered the restaurant asking for money claiming he was hungry. On the way out, my friend's mom filled her purse with dinner rolls and offered them to the hobo. the hobo, declined the rolls saying "uhhhh, never mind".

The one I really never got was when the dragworms at UT used to ask students for money. Are you kidding? You're asking a broke-*** college student for money?

There was a documentary a while back about a guy that used to "work as a homeless". They guy had left his bear and hair grow to apparent in worse situation. However every day he would get dressed in crappy ripped clothes and would leave his very BIG house in his BENZ and park like 5 blocks away where he would then walk to his "block corner" to ask for money. He said something like "I get early and work hard like the rest of the people" ; "I'm no different that the sales rep that lies to you and decives you to get money".
