Ya on the bright side at least this is a YDI in the good kind of way :)

at least it went to someone who needed it but that's the weirdest place I've seen people put money ..................well the weirdest place I've seen any normal people put their money

Guess you've never seen a over weight woman pull her sweaty 1 dollar bills out of her cleavage...

Or average weight, big boobed females

Or the women who use their ****** as a handy carrying case. Oh yes, it's happened.

A win for smokers everywhere. Nooooooooooooooo...

Think of it as a small monetary contribution towards the chemo he will need later. Bless your heart OP

Look a the bright side! You gave him money!

this got weird fast

#32, you're freaking me out now...

24- Yeah, somebody who needed it for cigarettes and drugs.

#126 You're a dumbass. Not every homeless person is a druggie or an alcoholic. Some people just run into bad situations and aren't able to support themselves. What if this mans house burnt down? Or he lost his job and, because of the bad economy, has yet to find another? More importantly you shouldn't generalize the entire homeless population as druggies because of the small percent that may be. Would it be accurate for me to say that "oh wow as soon as that guy gets paid he's going to buy drugs" about ANY working person? Because, you know, there are working class people that do drugs. But no, of course it's not right for me to say that. So stop generalizing and maybe stop and talk to a homeless person one day, hear their story. It'll make you a better person.

Yeah... Smoking is an expensive habit.

Hey man you save a life.

The comic was kinda hard to understand.

Agreed.

Well, also why would he put money in a cigarette box? op, HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF A WALLET?

To anyone else sure. But to those less fortunate than you are, taking it back would cause the guilt train to run you over. For most people I'd say anyway.

They probably didn't realize their mistake until it was too late from the looks of the post

I would have informed him of the mistake and gave him something for the trouble. That's the best thing to do in this situation.

why didn't you just pull one out of the pack...?

#26 the guilt train is like the rape train, it doesn't take no for an answer

Actually, the homeless I give to on a regular basis are pretty nice. Gave a guy a 10 instead of a 5 by mistake. He was fine swapping it back. The next time I gave him something, I added a bit extra for the understanding for the mix up the week I was running short. Of course, I've always been a sucker and most if them know me from tossing a few bucks or a meal their way. I've went through rough times myself, and through luck and family support I did not end up in their position. When I first got sick I could have lost everything without luck and an understanding family. So I pay it forward when I can.

#118 you are awesome for doing that. I always try to help people out when I can, especially those who really need it. I think that's awesome of you to relate to them for the fact that you've been through hard times as well, so you do what you can to help them. I honestly wish more people thought similarly to that.

Unless he turns out to be one of those crack head homeless people. Then OP inadvertently bought this man some more rock..

Most people won't look in a cigarette when they want to take your money.

Yes, #16, cigarettes are rather small. Seems like I'd be difficult to roll a $5.

When you take a large amount of money with you, it's smart to not but it in your wallet in case you get mugged.

I put lots of things in my packs but mostly cigs and money

Bobby Pins. Money. ID. Debit card. Cig packs are useful for a lot. and they fit in your pocky.

He will most likely use the money to buy himself his own pack.

It's just as good as any other. I know some people who out money in empty Chapstick tubes.

Ever pull out yer wallet and give it to someone, forgetting that you had money in it? maybe all places are not the same.

Then don't say.

Why would you comment if you don't know what to say?

Why would you reply to ask why he would comment that he doesn't know what to say?
