@Ducky yeah, this happened a while ago lol,
I'm okay now tho.
But another time, not long after that, the same guy was there and I deliberately avoided eye contact even though he was basically waving at me,
I ignored him because I knew he didn't take no for an answer very well,
And he got snippy, threw his arms up in the air and everything 😂

Big Issue sellers are the worst... I know that they are trying to help the homeless - but I would rather drop a few coins into the hat of a beggar simply because I know what it's like to be out for 12+ hours a day in the colder months and not all rough sleepers are able to get in out of the cold at night.
@HootyTheNightOwl yep that's how I feel, give directly!!
@metaldog I didn't resort to begging on the streets... but, if I had been out there much longer than I was, I probably would have done.
By the time I got to the hotel, the first two things I did was to put the kettle on and run a hot bath. Some nights, I literally crawled out of that bath like a slug because I was frozen to the bone and hadn't had anything hot to eat all day.
How did I end up homeless??? No... I'm not a alcoholic or an addict - my crime was to get raped by someone who wouldn't stop.
They rehomed me in a hotel in his hometown because I couldn't stay in my own home anymore.

Everyone today thinks they are a hustler. Buy this, give money, support my stup*d patreon, gibs gibs gibs!
But yeah for real -
I mean crap, like sometimes annoying panhandlers sit there in a wheel chair like they azzes is crippled. THEY ISN'T CRIPPLED. Some of them carry signs saying some 6 month old needs life saving surgery. WHY THEY LIEIN'?
Or like go to the grocery and here is some AT&T pest asking who you go with for cell service. Just say "BICH I live off the grid in an Amish community".
I am already annoyed by having to go to the grocery store, I ain't wantin to talk to some hoebag about my cell service.
OH and those TV charities, there is one about some holocaust survivor BS. Some 90 year old Jewish woman who lives in a shack or something. Y'all seen that one? How that old tw4t make it to age 90 in those condition?
I just I can't even.

I think I'd have to agree with you on this. There is a local tv/radio (public) station here doing just that.
Asking people to consider willing them their money when deceased. Disgustingly depraved behavior and advertising in my opinion and would never consider it. @Picklebobble2

I don't pay them any attention. Most organizations that get permission to be on supermarket properties have an agreement with the supermarket that they do not "harass" the patrons if they want to stay. For example Salvation Army. Never seen this done on public areas. What many consider or think is public ground (at least here anyway) is not really public. It's either owned by the city or the state (which would require a licenses) or other surrounding businesses or homeowners. ( possibly also requiring licenses).

@metaldog ...
Now I guess that depends on where you live.
If you live where I do, that is not permitted. Panhandling is not permitted.
Here... requires all business “engaged with activities associated with a tax or fee" to acquire a seller's permit, also called a "sales tax license." The application for a seller's permit specifically lists many of the types of activities that require registration with the state.
Peddlers do not permanently occupy a space like a traditional business, peddlers are still subject to the same laws as other businesses here. Therefore, peddlers here are also required to obtain business tax receipt. And, the tax receipt must be visible in the peddler's cart or display. Here, acquiring these licenses touchdown on the Riff Raff organizations or people that you claim harass people at supermarkets and public places.
Basically the bottom line is if they have licenses and they start harassing the public and they're reported, their licensing may not ever be renewed and they may be shut down. I've seen it happen.
Furthermore I do not engage with people that are harassing others on sidewalks otherwise known as riff raff. I let the riff raff engage with them. 🤷
I have better things to do and spend my energy on that is more constructive and not left up to animal instincts.
* Diffferent states have different laws for those of you that like to simplify things so much just to make yourself right.

Somebody selling something annoys me, but I just side step them and keep on going. Bonafide charities are different. I usually give them $5 or more.
thedreamer1975 · 46-50, F
I usually just say im already a member or i already support the charity in other ways.
@thedreamer1975 Hahaha, my mother used to say that with the RAC salesmen. A few would have her show them her card over the years, too.
She was always happy to produce her card that was dated for at least 10 years prior to them asking.
