Chinatown posted:Some woman asking for money for some unknown charity asked me why I looked sad as I walked into a loving Whole Foods for a salad for lunch. This is the quintessential goon experience Chinatown, including the part where you lied about going to Whole Foods for a salad and instead were going into a low end chain supermarket for a take and bake pizza

There's this guy in the Walmart parking lot that would tell me his wife is coming home from Iraq and he desperately needs money for gas to go meet her at the airport Weirdly his wife comes home and he runs out of gas at least once a week.

There's not a lot of panhandlers in the town where I live. One time a guy asked me for a ride to the church as I came out of the gas station, and I told him no. He said it's only a few blocks away and I said "Sorry I can't. Now go away" and he did. What really gets me is fricken Canadian pharmacy. They won't stop calling me and asking me to buy dick pills. Last time they called I asked to speak to a supervisor, and someone else came on the phone, and I told him to suck my dick. He said "okay" and i got really weirded out and hung up

One time this bum sidled up to me and said "hey can you help me out with a couple bucks" in a high pitched Mickey Mouse voice. Continuing in that voice he explained that talking in a high voice makes him seem less scary and people are more likely to give him money than when he begged in his regular voice. The technique won me over and the dude must have tried everything before coming up with that so I gave him a 5

One time I was sitting in my car in a Walmart parking lot with my small child, when I saw a woman soliciting. I didn't make eye contact with her because honestly, I simply don't carry cash. When she realised I wasn't looking at her, she came up and started banging on my window. I rolled down my window slightly, because I couldn't just pull out without running her over, and she gave me a paper with her life story on it (she was, according to the paper, deaf). I had to say "no, I'm sorry", shake my head, and then shrug in a really exaggerated manner before she'd leave. It was pretty scary, if only because my daughter was there. That said, there's a woman's shelter that panhandles near my house every so often, and when I tell them I don't carry cash, they give me a flyer that has their website info on it. I've donated to them that way a few times, they're legit.

Maybe they're not drunks or drug addicts! But probably they are, and maybe people volunteering to feed their addiction is better than them committing property crimes in order to feed it by smashing in 20 car windows to steal the GPS units inside.

What's worse is the people not at the front of the grocery store. If you live in an urban area, or very near one, you get "charity" solicitors who are too afraid to stand in front of the store itself. They come up to you when you're going back to your car, asking if you'd like to donate to a "local charity", a church youth group, or something similar. Spoiler alert: It's actually just some dude who wants cash for a fifth of vodka.

Wonder whatever happened to that guy. Hated everyone with a clipboard by the Loop, they were passive aggressive to the max. Finally just told one in as stern a look possible I was a recently paroled felon. The look of horror on the guy's face was something I wish I could've taken a picture of.
