Today, I was walking down the street when a "homeless" man asked for money. I gave him a dollar and he got up and called his friend on an iPhone. FML
Kaka_Karrot_Kake tells us more.
Ok to clear things up, I was walking home and he asked for money. He looked, and even SMELLED like a homeless person. Sure enough, I gave him money and all of a sudden he got up and started walking and I saw him take out an iPhone 5 and call his friend. I heard him say, "Lol dude it worked!" Sorry I wrote so much ._. And no he was NOT really homeless

Should have taken your dollar back! What a pan handling dick. At least you tried doing the right thing, OP.

At least you were being a decent person. But that sucks that he stole your money

Contrary to popular belief, one does not (indeed, cannot) live inside an iPhone. He could have income and still be homeless.

Sure he's homeless. Instead of begging people for a dollar, sell that iPhone. Get a prepaid cheaper phone with free minutes for poor people. That way he can still stay in touch with people and save money.

I hate when people don't need money are out begging for it. That money could go to legitimate homeless people. At the same time I hate when people can afford to live a decent life but spend their money on crap they don't need, and then wining about all they don't have. I don't know what the guys situation is, but there are usually indicators of non homeless people pretending to be homeless. Usually they aren't dirty, they don't smell, if they do have a phone it's usually not top end, and most non homeless people where new and expensive clothing. I'm not saying homeless people could be the benefit of a generous person, but I know people who beg for beer and stuff even thought they don't need it and most of the time can afford it.

Then follow him to his house, ask politely to use the toilet and take a mega-dump in it to clog it up. That'll cost a lot more than a dollar to fix!

Grab his phone while he isn't expecting it and lob it into the street.

Hey, he was taking up a collection to get the new iPhone 5S next week. It 64-bit, man, SIXTY-FOUR BIT!!! You can't expect a man to stay 32-bit, can you? He may be homeless, but he's not a bum!

He's NOT homeless, but he IS a bum.

It's crazy that some people seriously do that for a living. And aren't actually truly in need.
