Excuse Me While I Kiss The Sky

Starbucks

I keep seeing people along the side of the road who are holding out signs expecting people to give them money.  Problem is, they are going about it in completely the wrong way.

If you wish to beg on the side of the road as opposed to getting a real job (and be more successful), please take the following under advisement:

1.  Leave the damn Corvette at home.  Don't park your super pretty car and then stand and beg right next to it, while constantly getting inside it for whatever reason.

2.  Don't set out a $400 Coach purse for people to throw money in.  Seriously.

3.  I understand that standing and holding a sign all day on the side of the road gets boring and all, but please, don't ignore people who are trying to give you money in favor of texting your friends.

4.  If you play the "I'm disabled in some way" card and someone in a work uniform gives you money, don't  show up at that place of business totally fine.  I've had that happen to me, now I go out of my way to make that man's life difficult when I see him.

5.  Smoking is a no go!  Seriously.  Someone sees you smoking, they are going to assume that you are going to drink or smoke all your money away.

6.  If you are homeless and hungry, chances are good that not only can you not afford those pretty new clothes, but also that you have nowhere to put them when you aren't wearing them.  If you are going to fake the homelessness thing, then please please wear the same clothes if you are going to stand in the same place at the same time every day .

That is all for now.  If you can think of anything else, please feel free to add to the list.
