    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??

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

    As if anyone is gonna give them a note.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭CountingCrows

    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.

    should have lit a smoke and tapped into his cup


  • Registered Users Posts: 424 ✭✭meganj


    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.

    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.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    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.

    There, there.

    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 :D

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

    It's called BDSM

    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!

    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.
