Can't Get A Job?

Don't walk up to my truck at a traffic light begging me for money. No I will not roll down the window and listen to your sob story. I don't want to smell your funky ass breath. I don't have ANY spare change.... I need every penny. I get up every morning and drag my ass to work so I can make ends meet. That 50 cents you begging me for is for my daughter's Flaming Hot chips!!!

Sound harsh? Well that's life. My taxes pay for homeless shelters, food programs, welfare, state medical expenses and so much more. So why should I give your drug addicted ass my money so you can score or go buy a beer?

The last time I was nice to a beggar was a sunny day in 2002. I was working in Arlington, VA and waled over to the deli for lunch with a coworker. I can't even describe how hard this dude was begging and trying to capture the sympathy of every pedestrian walking by. I didn't say a word as we walked in but overheard him ask for money for food. So as I placed my order for a chicken strip meal, something came over me. I added the cheapest combo to my order, a cheese burger combo with fries. I asked the cashier to bag it separately as I planned to give it to the beggar outside. As we exited the place I handed him the bag. He looked at me and asked "What is this?" I defiantly said "Food!" He looked me straight in my eyes with disappointment and asked me why I didn't get him anything to drink!!!! I told that dumb ungrateful asshole, "You're standing next to a water fountain!" He just gave me a blank stare with eye boogers and all. No "Thank you" no nothing. I walked away as my coworker laughed uncontrollably. I looked back when we reached the intersection and saw that the bag of food was on the sidewalk unopened.

Never again.

There are too many options out here for any able bodied person to make money. There are illegal immigrants that make more cake doing odd jobs than the average 30 year old with citizenship. I'm not taking no more excuses. I'm not listening to anymore stories. I worked with a forged work permit since the age of 14 and been grinding ever since. So when I pay my taxes... I already served you bum. Now go get one of those signs from Payday Loans and stand on the corner pointing in the stores direction. At least I will respect you.
