Gonna hop on in the homeless people get what they fucking deserve train.
I’ve tried to be emphatic to homeless before. They have a sign asking for food. Okay, tell them I’ll run into a fast food joint and grab them whatever they want for lunch. I get cursed at and have trash thrown at me. I’ve given money to homeless who seemed like they actually did have a run of bad luck and weren’t just worthless drug addicts. Nope, I either got conned out of my money by a good liar, or I got cursed at for not withdrawing my entire bank account for them. Nothing is ever good enough, they always want more more more. And if you direct them to places that will help them get back in their feet they start screeching like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. They enjoy being parasitic drains in society.
Your experience is strikingly similar to my own, about 10 years back. Homeless guy asks me for some change to buy food, I say to him 'hold on,' and head to a nearby Turkish kebab joint around the corner. I got him a fataya, some fries, and a drink. Motherfucker throws the food and the ground screaming 'what the fuck am I gonna do with this?' Last time I EVER gave shit to one of these bums.
Not to mention that being homeless or 'sleeping rough' is one huge fucking grift these days. People busk or downright beg on the street, despite having a house they can go to. There have been numerous instances where this has been the case in my city alone.
A few months back I was walking back from the gym in the city centre, about 10 minutes back to my place. As I'm spaced out walking, I see a couple pushing a pram up ahead. Just before we reach each other, the guy side-steps right in front of me and asks for some change. I instinctively said no, then kept on walking. Then it occurred to me that a) this guy wasn't dressed badly at all, b) he was obviously the father/baby daddy of this chick's kid (who was also dressed decently, and c) he was quite clearly just trying to ply his bum-grift on someone in a fairly gentrified, lefty area. You know what? I bet he succeeds a lot of the time too.
I have literally ZERO sympathy for homeless people. I view them as innate swindlers and emotional grifters, as many of them likely are. Don't even get me started on the predatory fucks who knock on car windows on traffic. I'd experience dick-hardening, cheesecake-eating euphoria to see them getting gooified uner a garbage truck.
