Cheeky Beggers!

20-03-2009 3:36pm #1

I was taking out money yesterday from an ATM where a beggar fella was sitting asking for spare change, to which I replied politely ''sorry I've no change'', then the cheeky fecker says '' I wasn't askin' you anyway''

I was a quite offended by this, like my money isn't good enough for him or something haha.

So then I checked all my pockets to see if I did have any change so i could rattle in my pockets to freak him out but i actually had no change:o

Anyone else come across any cheeky beggars??

Yeah i have lots espically the non national ones, i usually just walk ahead then take a big wad of 50s out and laugh at them.

You ought to have stuffed a few hundred euro in his pocket, that would have showed the smart arse!

Smart Bug · 20-03-2009 3:44pm

That got me thinking why do they even bother begging outside ATM's?

As if anyone is gonna give them a note.

ScumLord · 20-03-2009 3:48pm

It sounds like he was only having a laugh. Relax.

CountingCrows · 20-03-2009 3:49pm

Maybe they use the receipts to nest

20-03-2009 3:50pm

No he wasn't he was dead serious.

He was probably the bank manager on his lunch break.

Because of the way he said it and the look he gave me.

*Woo my 100th post*

I rather enjoy the homeless/beggars that are entertaining. I'd give them something if they made me laugh, the ones that just sit there, head down, cup out, they just get walked around, or over. Yes, they should be there for my entertainment.
There was one guy that used to hang around on Baggot st, used to crack us up, we used to sit and have a can with him occasionally. Really funny chap, quite intelligent too. Haven't been there in over a year, wonder if he's still there.

admiralofthefleet · 20-03-2009 3:58pm

should have lit a smoke and tapped into his cup

meganj · 20-03-2009 3:58pm

so what if he was serious? He's a BEGGAR! I think they're entitled to make a smart comment once and awhile.

I'd much prefer a smartarsed beggar then one who hassled me constantly.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 20-03-2009 3:59pm

There's a georgeous one that used to beg on one of the green line luas stations. Arse to die for....

jesus, I'm turning into a hobosexual.

20-03-2009 4:04pm

What do you mean

meganj wrote: »

That should mean he should appreciate anything he gets and not snub someone just because they didn't give him some change once.
That just makes me not want to give him change even more.

So you believe that beggards should be simpering fools? bowing to you? "oh thank you sir for your two euro, thank you. would you like me to lick your shoes?" you didn't give him change he made a smart comment, it's a free country. just because he's a beggar doesn't mean he can't make a joke. laugh and the whole world laughs with you, bitch about beggars and the whole world thinks your taking it to seriously.

Hobosexual... excellent. It'd make showering after the deed so much more important though

A case of "beggers can't be choosers".

Who can forget the original Bumfights videos from the late 90's..

Guys made literally millions and millions of dollars by getting drunken tramps and homeless people to knock seven shades of shoite out of each other and post it on the net!

Ingenious!

Fine i'll laugh at him next time he asks for money:D

20-03-2009 4:35pm

Do all you beggar lovers want to move to your own town? Beggarsville sounds good.

Sure they're great chaps after all.

It seems like you think that they should hand out business-cards and have secretaries, so that they can sort out the high-flying donors from the tight-fisted bastards like me.

Well, it would pass an hour or so.

Degsy · 20-03-2009 4:40pm

There's a bloke(irish) who sits outside Centra in nassau st every bleeding day,right beside the door.
I'm sick to the back teeth of the cnunt because he makes sure to ask everybody individually for change and then makes some remark when they ignore him.
He's there all day every day and i'm seriously fixin' to give him a root up the hole if he asks me for money again...

meganj · 20-03-2009 4:40pm

Maybe they should! Why not?

I just think your ranting about something that's ridiculous. So a beggar was a little bit smart with you. Big flipping flamingo. Get over it and move on.

What bothers me is that your not giving out about someone being smart with you, your giving out about a beggar being smart with you as if it's terrible that someone who relies on the few euros he/she gets off people like you and me made a smart comment. You weren't going to give him money anyway! It's not like you handed him a fifty euro note and he spat in your face! Then you'd have something to complain about!

I'm certain that he will be overcome by your generosity and that there will be a Saint Degsy day as a result. National Root A Bum Day.

Do you not think that people should have the rightto go about thier busness without being hassled for money?
Why should strangers feel comfortable asking other strangers for handouts and mouthing off at them if they're refused.
Most people wouldnt have the brass neck to bum money in the streets and rightly so,let the beggars go to hell...abusing people is covered under the Non-Fatal Offences Against The person Act which gives you grounds for self defence if you feel threatened enough.

pipeliner · 20-03-2009 4:47pm

on christmas eve there was this roma out side the shopping centre looking for change but i had none.

When i was coming back out, i felt guilty due to the day that was in it so i fumbled out some for her but she was busy on her god damned mobile.

I moved on thinking nothing of it only for her to come screaming after me 'please sir please sir'. That pissed me off that she caught me but i gave her a euro, only for her to smirk and say is that all?

Maybe if people were less obsessed about every penny in their pockets these situations wouldn't have came up in the first place...

The problem isn't with the beggers attitude, its with the greed humanity knows all too well... If you were on the other end of the stick I'm sure you'd be pissed off too...

It wouldn't help our poor economy if they where.

So what if beggars get mouthy, I'd say they're so willing do be that way because people ignore what they say anyway. If it really bothers you so much you can sleep easy knowing he'll be sleeping under a wet sheet of cardboard in some doorway.

Correction he doesn't rely on money from me as he'll never get it.

And what if I was actually going to give him change? would he have said no i wasn't asking you! here have it back

don't think so!

So we shouldnt work for a living as it begats begging..we should all beg?

The funny thing is i have to get up for work in the morning and put up with all sorts of shiite in order to get paid,then the poxy government takes a hufge bit out of my arse very month and i just about have enough to get by when the bills are paid.
I absolutley do not have spare money to give to people who dont want to work..thats what taxes are for.

I was walking down Grafton street on one of my forays into the city and saw some scruffy beggar next to an ATM, thought nothing of it but passed him 10 minutes later and he was still there talking unashemedly on his mobile phone.

I was rather surprised.

How do you know it was his, maybe he stole it.

Or found it and was ringing someone from the phone book in an attempt to return it to its rightful owner.

consultech · 20-03-2009 5:17pm

This isn't as unbelievable as the time a chap begging off Grafton street - without missing a beat - offered to break a €20 note for me after I took it out of the wall n said it was all I had.

I actually cracked up!

I wouldn't be surprised. The guy outside the ATM on dame street, beside dublin castle wears clothes and runners that I wouldn't buy cos they're too expensive!
