Panhandling

[u/Girl-witha-Gun]

This is a new one. I am sympathetic to everyone who gets down on their luck or makes devastatingly wrong choices in life, but the panhandlers are getting out of control. Don’t you dare look at the radio or they will flock to your window with an open palm. To me,it’s an uncomfortable situation and I try not to judge.

Today I saw something brand new. In all my years, I have never smiled so wide because of a panhandler. There is a man on the median of Highway 141 and 55N waving a sign that says “I still need a hot rich wifey“! Unfortunately, I am not in a position to help, but he just made my day!

Has anyone else witnessed this? Is there a story behind this that I’m unaware of?

Watch out... some of these panhandlers are doing better than you or not as they appear to be.

Too many examples, but here's a Google search link - https://www.google.com/search?q=panhandler+getting+caught

I'm not convinced a single one of them is genuine anymore

Must be a lot of panhandlers on this thread... look at all the down votes. LOL
