What’s your Craziest experience with a beggar/homeless person?

[YoungSinister]

Was out with my lady, the other day. We stopped at a taco truck, and went to a hotel parking lot to eat. She wanted sauce, so she got out and walked back to the truck.

At the same time, a bus (public transport) was letting people off. I saw a big, defeated looking nigga walking towards me. The hotel entrance was in the same direction, so I thought that’s where he was headed. He kept walking towards the car, but I just knew he wasn’t about to try to talk to me.

I keep my eye on this nigga as I eat. He walks past the car. I look to my left and this nigga is having a convo with me. The only thing I could make out was “my brother”. I guess he’s trying to butter me up before asking for money. I immediately start the car, reverse and peel.

I hear the dude yelling. Because my window is up, I can’t really hear what he’s saying....but I did clearly hear him say “you must have lost your god damn mind!”

As I drive off, my lady is walking towards the car. Meanwhile this nigga is walking towards the car, and it looked like he was still yelling. I wanted to speed off but I could only go so fast in a parking lot.

She was taking her sweet time...I rolled down the window....”get in the car! Hurry!”. As she gets in, a bag flies towards her. Ol boy threw his luggage at us

There was this chick I use to call the “homeless stripper”.. she would either have a duffel bag or garbage bag full of clothes and would carry it with her dance bag.. somehow this broad always knew everybody parties and would show up to dance.. everybody would let her work cause she always had her tipin.. a few times I caught her in the bathroom doing a heavy wash up , brushing her teeth, etc.. that’s how I gave her the name the homeless stripper… randomly you would find her in Harlem with them bags of clothes and stripper bag in the daytime just randomly walking around

I remember running into a middle aged Black homeless sister right as I was entering the movie theater with my gal. she said her and her daughter ( who wasnt there with her) were hungry. I always snuck in my own shit, like a true hood nigga, so I offered her a hotdog and whopper candies. She her daughter wont eat it and points to The Subway restaurant and says they want that.
I lol put my the hotdogs back in my pocket and go watch The Two Towers. Oh's wells, guess they weren't that hungry

[notreally]

I have been homeless on more than one occasion.

I suppose the craziest incident I had was when a homeless person, on a bike, tried to break into the van I was sleeping in at the time.

I startled him as he tried to jimmy the door lock. He took off in a hurry, apologizing, and saying he was just looking for a place to sleep.

You might be surprised how easy it is to end up on the street. I was lucky. I had a van.

Most homeless people never thought they would be there. It is wise to acknowledge their humanity, lest Karma comes
your way passing out ass kickings.

Just sayin'.

I was picking up food my old lady had ordered by phone and this older black couple walks up to me as I'm entering the place and says they were hungry,starving and some more shit and If I could would I give them a couple of dollars so they could get some FOOD.
I tell them nooo and continue on about my business but I've seen my people always look out for people,especially our people(black) so I tell the place to give me two small sub sandwiches ,two bags of chips and two bottles of soda.
I walk out the door and call for the couple to come over to me and they come and I hand the lady the bag of stuff I purchased for them....THE OLD ASS MAN/HUSBAND/LOVER WHATEVER YELLS "WE DON'T NEED NO GODDAMN FOOD WE NEED THE MONEY SO WE CAN CATCH THE BUS....."she's standing looking stupid and so am I so I GRAB THE BAG THAT I GAVE TO HER AND TOSS THAT SHIIIIIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.....

I could of handled it differently but I hate a coward ass man pushing a women up to do something and when someone helps you he steps up as if I was going to go in my wallet and hand them money.....fuck you and fuck that shit I brought.

Was leaving a film festival downtown ... this is back around 2007 - 2008. Guy walks up and proceeds to try and do some magic tricks for change, as he joins the group of people who had just walked across the intersection. For whatever reason keeps insisting to me that I should check out the act. I politely decline a few times as I don't have money on me (just CC and debit) and explain this to him. He does the magic act anyway, gets really mad then brandishes a knife and makes a quick threat. I just stare him down like WTF? - shook me up.


Another time was a fight that nearly caused a death, or grave injuries. I was in traffic on the far side of the intersection waiting for the light to turn. 2 homeless guys were fighting at the corner and from what I could tell one guy got standing-KO'd and was out on his feet ... the other guy then proceeded to KICK him into traffic! Cars slammed on their brakes and nearly caused a decent pile-up once they accelerated off the green. He's lucky he didn't get run over by 1 or more cars. Nearby pedestrians ran out to pull him out of traffic (head injury and all).

No doubt.

All homeless people are not cut from the same cloth. Some are just down on their luck and need life to cut them a break. I know a few kats like that and got out their situations.

I try to be mindful and not be so judgmental.

Agreed. I've worked at shelters over the years. Especially during the 2003 - 2007 stretch. Some of the most honest work was doing the intakes for people at the cold / wet weather locations. People from all walks of life.

over the years, I’ve learned that people become homeless for a myriad of reasons
Some are addicts. Some were born into bad situations. Some are lazy….and some are just assholes who burn every bridge they cross

Working in the field of mental health ... have worked with people I went to school with, a parent of one of my childhood friends, university professors, gangsters. All have fallen on hard times. It's an eye-opener ... especially with many instances of dual diagnosis -

Dual Diagnosis

A dual diagnosis is given when a person has a developmental disability (significant limitations in cognitive functioning) and a mental health problem.

This dude just got out of prison and asked me could I help him get a bus pass. I gave him like four dollars and he said that's all? Would it be too much trouble to go to the ATM? I'd was like hell muthafuckin yeah it would be. He walked away and start talking shit. I wanted to come snatch my money back but I was at work.

 

[doe moe]

Catching the train to work when I lived in DC.

Just left my apartment, headed to the Metro.

Fat sloppy homeless CAC's starts yelling, "Hey black man", Hey black man". By the third or fourth time he said it, I started looking around. He and I make eye contact and he got his hand out. I keep walking looking back from time to time.

By now I'm across the street and half way down the block when he starts yelling, you're a n!gg3r over and over.

The North Philly in me wanted to go back and stomp his bitch ass out. I had on my slacks, dress shirt and tie, didn't want to mess up my dress shoes.

Till this day I'm pissed I didn't at least confront him face to face to put some fear in him.

I'm leaving this jam session one night, I'm on the way out the door and I'm saying bye to everyone individually.

Me: Aight Bruh!
Homeboy 1: Aight mane


Me: Aight baby, hit me tomorrow!
Girl 1: Okay Cash I will


Me: Aight Aye! I'm out, I'll drop those cd's back off to you this week!
Homeboy 2: Fa sho!


Random Voice: Aight bruh!!
Me: Aight..uhh, aight bruh!


The random voice turned out to be this homeless dude that was hanging out a few feet from the door. He caught me off guard and so I just automatically said bye to him too. And while I'm saying bye he's walking towards me and basically does this:

I've bought meals and gave money to homeless folks plenty of times. Not so much these days, because it seems like everywhere I go, mf begging. The other night I went to Applebees and there was a homeless dude out there, and he was asking me to buy him something to eat...from Applebees. I'm like niggggaa, I might would have bought you some Wendy's, but you buying your own Applebees. It ain't even about the price, it's the point for me. Mf you gotta put in some work for that kind of hot meal. Paint my house, trim the bushes, or something.

 

[woodchuck]

Happened to my aunt & uncle back in the late 80s in front of the Fox theater:

Homeless man asked them for money, and my aunt give him a 5 dollar bill. He looks at it, and says to my aunt, "Damn, bitch, this all you got?!" My uncle snatched it back and got ready to bring his fist from the backyard, and my aunt yelled, "Skip! No!" That's the only thing that stopped him knocking dude the fuck out.

I used to do that a lot, eat with them, and listen to their stories. Trust me, there were a lot of college degrees out in them streets.

That's true, but in 2021, you can hustle some shit together. Even if you dirt ass poor, in a raggedy ass roach and rat infested crib, I cant respect nothing but a hustler. Now let's say, if someone is physically disabled, I would give the benefit of the doubt.

I worked at the male homeless shelter in Raleigh for years. I knew all those dudes. We had one guy who reminded me of Gator in Jungle Fever. One day dude tried to bring a freaking baby in the shelter. We was like where tf you get that baby from. Fortunately we was able to find the mother and she picked up the baby.

 

[BornJamerican]

In the McDonald’s drive-thru and an older sister(probably in her 60s) is near the speaker holding a bunch of rosaries made of yarn. She says she’s hungry and she’s selling the rosaries to get money for food because she’s hungry. I ask her what she wants off the menu?

Sure tells me just give her the money instead!
I said I guess you ain’t hungry and ordered my food and drive off.

Beggar at Burger King showed me a roll of about $3K then gave me the "shh" sign.
