last one I had come up to me and say "spare change?"......hehehe
i reached into my pocket and jingled a handful of it where he could hear it and said "no thanks, I have plenty, but thank you for offering" and walked on into the pilot
he was so taken aback and discombobulated by the response that I got in the door and away from him before he had a chance to say anything else haha
works every time if they approach you the right way.....otherwise I just keep walking and ignore them
if thet're really obnoxious or don't get the hint I tell them to #### off and put some effort into finding a job instead of being useless
Bumbs 101 help?

Just say "no" once. Ignore everything the person says (What homeless guy?). Say nothing else. It's that simple, one syllable one time.
Then, after five minutes if they haven't left get the wasp spray out of the cab and carry it around w/ the cap off. If the scum bag is still sweating you tell that parasite ridden, cart pushin', homeless drunkard that he's got 5 seconds to get to steppin or a whole can of wasp spray will finds its way into his eyes. Tell him you are a surgeon w/ that spray can.Mommas_money_maker Thanks this. -
Tell them you was just robbed by a homeless man minutes before and you are calling the police. While you act like you are doing that you will see how fast a homeless man runs. Homeless people don't like the policia. If that doesn't work use wasp spray.

Actually tell them you just called 911 because his buddy just robbed your arse and they should be here any second. Same results. They can sure make some tracks in record speed!
OR Point at the name on the truck and tell him "Dude! Do you see who I drive for? Do you think I have any money when they keep losing my paper work?" Then ask his if he has any money.
The females are not working alone when they come up pushing a baby carriage with a doll in it! Tell her that you'll take a BJ for the $3.00 you have in your pocket. If shes desperate then be prepared for her to climb through your window! Have the cell out and start pushing the buttons while in your best bevis or butthead voice say "ninnnnne....oooooonnnnnneeeeee .....ahhhh, lets see ...oh yeah! onnnnnnneeeee and see how fast she can un arse the window!
Just be prepared to lie out your teeth to get them off the lot but do your driver friends a favor. Call the fuel desk with their description and sit back and watch the show! -
I have no manners when it comes to this BS. I ignore 'em completely or ask if they have buck I can borrow.

I usually cut 'em off with, "I can't help you," 9 times out of 10 they'll move on to easier prey. If they persist I pretend to listen for a minute, usually one of 3 or 4 standard stories (out of gas/trying to get home/baby hungry/stranded etc) then act concerned and say, "I can't help you but I know who can, you know, the Highway Patrol/Police/Sheriff's Dept (depending where you are) are here to help people in your position, not just to write tickets...I can get them here post haste," then when I open my phone I usually hear a "ka-PWING" sound and I look up and all I see is a dust cloud and vapor trail where they were just standing. Those folks hate the cops. I also agree with the guy who said call the fuel desk with a description, except in places like Petro on I-12 in LA where the lizards are bestest friends with the staff. What has worked best for me is to simply drive for Dart, haven't been bothered by a bum or a lizard since I put that diamond on my truck. Wonder why??

It's funny you guys say " GET A JOB YA BUM! " like its that easy hes HOMELESS im guessing his resume ain't all up to date and doesn't have a solid work history,i'm predicting some problems in the interview process... what do you want him to do with your donations? save up and buy a wall unit and a rug? hes SCREWED the only happiness he can have is get drunk and hope he dies on a overdose.... you really think he likes being homeless?
Im not saying always give money but you don't need to be a pompous prick about it, i can see it know, homeless guy walks up to you with shame in his eyes and asks if you can spare some change and here you come on your high horse screamin "F-OFF GET A JOB YA BUM!" ego trippin on a homeless guy... thats just how i feel about it, whenever im asked i either say sorry i cant help you or donate if i feel like it. i do not insult him and tell him get a job im sure he hears it enoughgravelhauler, SHC, hotrod1018 and 2 others Thank this. -
