Every night this same guy has a sign that says "hey, i need money for weed. hey, why lie?" I've donated a doller for a picture with the guy. Funniest sign I ever  seen! It really works too, he just stands there and makes between 100-300$ in just a couple of hours. Times Square, NYC, night time.

If they were desperate, they would've sold the car ages ago. I agree. Beggers need to respect other beggers boundaries. I’m not sure I’d donate to a couple with a car.

One day while waiting for the light to change I noticed a begger standing with the usual sign in the usual place. I also noticed a couple I had seen begging before sitting in a car in the parking lot next to me. What happened was funny and disturbing all at the same time. The man in the car got out with his sign and proceeded to stand only 5 feet from the other guy! Of course this made the other guy angry and they started arguing loudly! I rolled down my window and yelled "that's just not right" as the light turned green. I was astounded!! If someone is there already the next begger should move to another intersection. If they don't respect each other how are we supposed to respect them!! There is area in my town where people are commonly seen begging at a certain stoplight on the center island.

What a winning combination! I know here in Nashville one has to be careful, cause there are professional beggars, who make a decent living off of tourists. Course there's also a lot of people in dire straights cause of the economy. Favorite sign I've seen: "For the price of a cup of coffee, you could get me a cup of coffee" LOL, cold and funny. What a winning combination!

It's funny how people are more than willing to chip in for a parking meter, but much less likely to give a homeless guy change for food. I guess we can relate to the person who needs change for the parking meter more than we can relate to someone on the street. @The Rabid Iguana – sounds like you got schooled.

He was smart, and I rewarded him for it. It was on Front in front of the Harveys by St. Lawrence Market. He was standing by a parking meter with a twonie in his hand. He asked me if I had 2 loonies, and kinda pointed towards the meter. I opened my wallet to check. (Game over.) I did, in fact, have two loonies. I had them in my freaking hand, when he says to me, "Actually, buddy, I'm homeless, do you have any change?" Like, WTF am I going to say here? 'No, I don't have any?' I gave him the two bucks and have told this story like a hundred times. By my math, he got my two cents worth. Didn't expect to go out on a math pun, but alright, score.
