"Buddy, can you spare a dime?"

Normally I don't have a problem with panhandlers; hell, if you can get someone to give you money just by saying the two words "spare change" then more power to ya. But you've got a lot of balls if you say "spare change" sitting on a downtown sidewalk, smoking a joint.

Call me old fashioned but it just don't seem right.

I had to ask a homeless man to move when he was sleeping on the bench right outside my work (it's like four feet to the front desk). He was wearing better shoes than I was!

Remember my Starbucks panhandler?
Buddy can you spare a latte?

At least he's not faking it. I hate those so-called out of work vets with the cardboard sign and the nice backpack full of food and dog sitting on the side of the road next to them as they go into their bent over hobbling act.

This one was actually a chick and she didn't even bother to look up as she asked. I suspect she was baked.

Maybe she meant a dime BAG, not an actual monetary dime...hehehe
