Any of you suckering for this too? Or is it just because im not used to 100s of them on every corner

WELL.....I did before this happened....You'll never believe this shit. So I was at dunkins one day and it was a nice sunday morning. There was a rough looking african american sitting there just outside as I walked in. I didn't have change...until I got my coffee. I gave him a handful of change and even realized i had additional change in my other pockets. I felt good. Helped him out. I then realized I forgot a straw for the Iced coffee. No biggie I'll just run back in and grab one. What did I see. He shuffled through all of the coins that I gave him...and threw all the pennies on the ground and kept only those of higher value. I let this MOFO have a huge piece of my mind. That was the last time I gave anyone change. It's his fault that no one will get it ever again. I was bullshit!

Every time I've seen someone less fortunate at the time when I wasn't one of the less fortunate (heh), I would give whatever bill happened to be the first I grabbed out of my pocket or wallet unless it was just $1, then I'd look for a bigger denomination. This might sound crazy to most, but during the years I was doing this I would "justify" it by comparing it to what I'd buy with that and realize they were in need of it more than I.

This came to a halt when a friend of mine gave a homeless man in NYC a $20 just out of the goodness of his heart, then the homeless man was searched by a cop on-foot outside of the establishment and there were drugs found on him. The cop then was accusing my friend of a transaction, rather than a donation.

Lol I learned the hard way about these people. Was going into a grocery store one time and some guy held me up for at least 5 minutes telling this story about him having no money to eat. I had no cash on me just my card so I offered to buy him what he needed to make some sandwiches for at least a few days. When I came out the guy was gone.
