So I was rinsed today

[Cherie]

She caught me on the hop, I had just got out of my car and was poking around in my bag to check I had my phone, when up she came, saying, I am not looking for money but I am homeless so could you buy me a cold drink and a sandwich, tbf it was boiling so I said okay but as I checked her over she was clearly a druggie, a nice one though who called me Miss :laugh: I followed her to the corner shop so I said pick what you want, and she said 'anything' and I said 'within reason' anyway she picks up two cans of that Monster drink and I said hold up I am buying you one, so she says there are two of us and my friend is pregnant, so I says she should not be drinking that, so she got a milkshake instead, then she picked up a cake and cream:joker: I went I think you have enough now, the Indian man behind the counter was smiling at me in a knowing way and rolling his eyes, think she is probably a regular and I was not the first mug, anyway 7 quid she cost me with her cake and her cream and her Monster drink :laugh: She told me her pregnant friend would pour the cream on the cake and eat it like that.... anyway I hope she enjoyed her cake.

It was good of you to even offer to buy her something Cherie.
I'm sorry you were kind of cheated but it's a good and kind scenario too, on your part.

You are not alone

I always buy homeless guys a £1 pasty / pie plus a bottle of water - occasionally just put a quid in their hand ..

Sometimes if they are sat outside a supermarket I will ask them what they fancy

A few people tell me I am too soft and they will have a nice house and a BMW parked nearby but I like to think I am a good judge of character and often they are sat there with no teeth and filthy fingernails so are unlikely to be scammers

I have woman 15 pounds outside of Tesco’s
She said she was homeless and she was also black I will mention her skin colour because some on here like to throw out the race card

Any ways I’d just left from visiting my partner so I was in a good mood
If She said she wanted money for drugs I would of given it to her

No no no.

Don't think that. You did a kind thing Cherie. Nobody else cares about them, especially this pitiful knee bending government we got going on.

[Oliver_W]

Even if they are scammers, or at least misrepresenting how bad they have it... no-one who's in an overall good place goes around asking strangers for money.

Just relayed the story to my son, he said I should have started screaming and then running :laugh:

[caprimint]

I got 3 people come up to me in Birmingham the other day asking for money/drinks/train tickets in the space of half an hour :skull:

Safe to say I'd never give anyone **** though :hee:
