What the hell happened where the pan handlers don't want your "spare change" anymore? Had some sonovabitch have the balls to look me in the eye a couple weeks ago and ask if I had "5 or 6 bucks" I could spare. Are you fucking kidding me? ? I guess the recession is hitting everyone pretty hard.

come to Bozeman, fucking "beggars" live better than I do! seriously, they have fucking townhouses and shit. Anytime one asks for money i tell them to go fuck themselves.

This, its just a day job for a lot of them.

The Montana beggars are unreal. If they have time to sit on the corner all week begging for money, they have time to head down to the local job service office.

no shit right? and they're crazy as fuck. had a couple that have tried to jump in the back seat of my truck after i told them to fuck off.

I know they're everywhere, our winters usually push the travellers down Red's way leaving only the residents, but its the amount they're asking for that blows me away.

Had a guy in ATL tell me one time "yea you look poor" when I would not give him $5.

it's because they aren't homeless, it's all a fucking sham. I don't give money away at all anymore.

Sad part was he probably did make more being a leach than you did working an honest job.

Sure as fuck aren't! There's no way a homeless person could make it through winter in most of MT without freezing to death.

I do have to say the bums I have seen going to Tigers and Red Wings games usually have pretty funny signs.

exactly. have you had any try to get in your car?

Nope, surprising considering I drive a subaru

No bums that I've seen since moving to the hi-line though. I'm sure they pass through on the train, but I haven't seen anyone begging yet. It's nice.

No. When people look at me I don't think they assume I'm a "friendly face".
