MY BEGGAR AND RICH BEGGARS

I could not believe what happened to me this morning. We get our chronic medicine on the 24th of every month. As I was walking up the stairs of the building leading to the chemist a man approached me and said, could I help him out with some money?

 Now I do always give if I think a person really needs some money, so I am not stingy but today I had absolutely no money with me and said I am so sorry but all I have is a credit card to buy my medicine.

O that does not matter he said, and I said sorry maybe someone else can help you. Thinking at least I am friendly.   Then I got the surprise of my life, he said wait I will give you the list of things that I need. “I will wait for you until you bring my things and be on my way.”


 

So now he wanted me to do his shopping with my credit card and still bring the list of things he needed to him. I really did not know what to say; except I’m sorry but even with my credit card I cannot fill your list as I just have enough money to buy our medicine.

He looked at me as if I was crazy and said leave it I will come right somewhere else. Now I have seen many beggars but just thought, this must be the limit of all beggars. Has anyone else had a better, beggar experience if you had let me know?While looking for an image of a begga I also came across these.

Unreal think i must start begging.

Please don't! You are intelligent and working hard which is more prideful than those scumbags.

Promise I wont thanks for replying.

lol i will join you :P they all have BMW cars , Big flats

Oh wow! People nowadays have no shame! Get him the list he needs??? It's sad to see homeless people and you want to help them all, but like you say you never know what its used for. Best way to help is to provide a meal. If they are really homeless they will appreciate it!

That is very true, once gave a beggar a whole bread with tub of butter and Jam from my groceries in my car and he threw it down said he asked for money.

Wow how rude! That shows he didnt need money. He just wanted for drugs probably!

Unbelievable the audacity of these people is shocking.

I was stunned, really could not believe it.

Nooooo - jeez these people - the audacity of thinking life owes them something - I have a lot of empathy for people in difficult situations, but not if they see it as their right

He did not look like a hungry man to me he was well dressed, even better than me.

Some people just enjoy using others

Wow, that was a hectic story!!! I also recently had one tell me a list of items he needed money for! I didn't give it, he was a strong young man.

Yes he was I could not believe it lol

That was one smart beggar! Those Indians are smart beggars too. I have seen creative beggars who fake body injuries, someone will be sitting on the street with crutches and a fake broken leg or arm. They have really upped their game nowadays :)

Really unbellievable thanks for replying.

What nerve some people have. This man went too far. It is sad when people, who really need help, can't get it because of people like this man. When I was reading your post, I actually got afraid for your safety. Please be careful as there are all sorts of ruthless people out there. Maybe you need to go with some other people the next time. Your story is a good warning to people to be careful, as you never know who may approach you. Be safe @bigbear!

Thanks my wonderful friend must say I was a little scared, will not go alone again thanks for caring.

Wow! Panhandling to the extreme! I don't think I would have been as nice as you.....

I was alone and llittle scared not that young anymore but thanks for replying.

You're welcome. I can learn a lot from you. 👍🏼😉

Yikes what a cheek. They obviously choose the type of person they ask as well. Stay safe.

Thanks will do my best thank you for your reply.
