"Why do beggars..."

Always have a crappy wee polystyrene (or however you spell it) cup?
To make things worse they eat half of it or something.

I used to be the compassionate/charitable kind but I've seen too many manky junkies wasting their cash and harrasing old woman for change.

Also, don't beg with a fecking Starbucks cup... I don't even buy stuff out of there because its too expensive.

True, true. But the story below is from about 5 years ago.

Nottingham has this campaign of telling you NOT to give any money to them.

1. Because the money will most likely go towards their drug dealers next first class ticket to New York

2. Their drug dealer wants a new gun

etc etc

They ask you to donate any money you wish to the correct people who look after them in the homeless shelters etc

lol. mate 2 is silly. he should know better than to talk to starngers

There's quite a famous beggar in Nottingham, a black guy with short dreadlocks, who got one of mates real good one time. He stopped the three of us a we were on our way to Forest, gave us the whole 'You off to see the match, you look like good lads, would you help out a fellwo Forest Fan?' bit...

Me:- Sorry Mate, I'm a porr student, I have no money.
Mate No1.:- Sorry Mate, I haven't been paid yet, I have no money.
Mate No.2:- Sorry Mate, I haven't got any change.

Beggar:- That's Ok, I've got some change, give me a tenner and I'll give you some change back.

Mate No 2 gets out the tenner, beggar gives him a tatty five pund note and a couple of one pound coins.

Beggar:- No, hang on a sec...

Beggar takes back the fiver from my mates still open hand and then legs it.

Me and Mate No.1 roll around the floor laughing.

A bum defecating. How ironic.

Someone might have bought it for him.

I got harrased by a hobo when I said I didn't have any cash, he then commented on my jacket and called my 'nice jacket boy' waving his arms in my face, so I panicked thinking he was after my mp3 play and pushed his face away with my palm and bust his nose by mistake

he lives (if you can call it that) near my place and i'm worried he's going to get him and his hobo pals to defecate through my letterbox.


if your reading this, sorry bum.

Here's two I've heard:

I'm just out the jail and I need some money for a can.

And even better was this one:


Look man, i lsot ma fiver and ah really need 17p. "Sorry mate, I've only got a 20"
"Here, a've got 3p change"
"Twenty pound note"
"A've got change"
