Haha. This happened to me once, just keep on walking and drop a couple of quarters to keep him occupied while you make an escape.

just say u only have a credit card

thats what i thought!

Maybe the bum accepted American express?? Credit card fees may apply. Lol

I offered a homeless man the food I had just bought because he said he needed change to get something to eat. He refused the food. Lol

Just say you used a credit card.. you have no change and you shouldn't be giving out your credit card

why that just encourages them?

I probably would have said I used a credit card XD

you're not obliged to give your money to a bum anyway!

damned people should be trying to get a job instead of begging anyway

I understand the need to beg. they understand if you just say no. don't lie when a firm no will do

getting a job is hard enough without being homeless.

Perhaps it's good you didn't give it to him, he probably wanted to buy beer or drugs or something. He sounds like a creep x(. Maybe a quarter or two would have been nice though.

Lol of course that's what he's gonna do with the money. That's what i'd do. What are u gonna look forward to when ur a bum if u don't get wasted

I lie to them sometimes, but usually I don't have cash on me. Even if I did have the cash, I probably wouldn't give him any money... But how does he know you didn't charge it to a card or something?

You could have just lied and said you bought the drink with credit. I mean, you already did lie once...

Just say " I have no change", don't look at him, just look forward and keep walking. It works for me everytime. Or just completely ignore his existence.

whether it's a homeless person asking for change or a business person complaining at an airport, when people act like the world/other people owe them something it's damn annoying. sucks, FYL

Should have just given him the frappuccino.

#1-you shouldnt run away from a hobo. Your way more powerful in any way than the is.
