Just got harrassed by a fucking bum

[GarethSE]

And here, gents, we have our first dickhead to take an easy potshot from the comfort of his computer desk. Does that make you feel like a big man? I bet it does...

And yes, no hostility on my part towards polite homeless people with real problems. It's when they bang on your car window 6 inches from your head and yell epithets @ me that does the job of riling me up. I guess that's my fault for getting pissed, then. I'm the bad guy here, sure. And if he'd actually broken the window? That's money out of my pocket to fix, not his.

+1 to this
as much as i may PERSONALLY maintain the attitude of unconditional being nice to the homeless, i more than respect your viewpoint
the guy was being a bit of a dick to be fair
lol @ last confession being an armchair warrior


anyway, my 2 cents:
i dont mind being asked for change at all as long as they ask for change and nothing more, no reasons need to be given, no stories, no lies about needing it for busses. if youre homeless and want change from me, just ask, yknow?
lying about why you want the change is just totally undignified.
but yeah, i met this woman on the street a while back once, i was having a smoke while i was on the way to wherever it was i was going and this woman who was wrapped up in this beaten up old sleeping bag that looked like it was going to fall apart (in the middle of winter) asked me for a cigarette, so i was like yeah sure, sat down next to her and started rolling her one, and as we sat and smoked, she told me about why she was homeless.
her boyfriend beat her with a cricket bat regularly, broke multiple bones and stuff, then she got raped and her boyfriend threw her out and her boyfriends friends were her friends, and they sided with her boyfriend, as though she was like unclean, like a dirty person because of something she couldn't help.
so she ended up on the streets. had no friends or family to go to.
this woman was 23, and she just looked so messed up.
i rolled her a few more cigarettes, gave her some change and spare lighter to try and keep her going.

since then my attitudes towards the homeless have changed

My thoughts:

There is a difference between a homeless person and a bum.. a bum deserves to live on the streets, a homeless person does not.

 

[red_f0x]

I tell you guys your US and UK bums are living in heaven in comparison to ours, in Ukraine.
They are all alcohol addictive mostly, and junkies, occasionally.
I've been walking home from cinema last winter (-25 in C) and saw a body on the street, definitely homeless. I though he was dead. Then I came closer and he started to yell for some reason. I offered my help, but he told something like "Fuck off, am living here" , and that was straight in the middle of the street.
So, most definitely, he was a deadman next morning, cuz when person gets drunk and fall asleep, he/she doesn't realize and more of that doesn't feel the cold.
Here's my story. Sad but true.

"Hey, it's you - McMuffin!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


I was watching that the other night and was like "You know what, I'm just sick of anything to do with Judd Apatow and the god-child of Zion Seth Rogen" until that line. Then I spent about 20 seconds having a big ol' lol to myself then went back to likening the Apatow/Rogen formula to the AIDS virus.

Gareth, about the telling stories thing, wanna hear something homeless people (young 18-25 year old mostly) are doing really often lately around here? they come asking for money and say they need it, they go like "look at this" then pull up their shirt and you can see THEIR MOTHERFUCKING GUTS FALLING OUT. Is that supposed to make me feel sorry for you?? I feel fucking disgusted!! And everyone I´ve talked with that has encountered one of these gutty fellows has said the same thing, there´s no need to show me your fucking guts

 

[GarethSE]

Yeah that was before Judd Apatow had 3 movies per season and every one of them had any combination of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill. But yes he does have his shit together, he can somehow convince people that his recent movies aren't stale and going nowhere fast.

It's not anything to get angry about, there always seems to be a long run of formulaic comedies that starts off awesome with a couple of classics and then deteriorates into garbage. Then a new one starts. Look at pretty much any big comedy name in the last 20 years.

Adam Sandler: Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore > Click and Zohan and all those date rapes that comprise his later films.

Will Ferrell: Night At The Roxbury, Anchorman (I know it's a Judd Apatow movie) > Semi pro, Step Brothers.

Let's go back to a classic figure.

Eddie Murphy: Beverley Hills Cop, Coming To America > Norbit, Meet Dave. He had an excuse though, he had to go family friendly to save his career after picking up that tranny hooker.

See what I'm getting at here?

Wha???? Those movies are hysterical dude!

They were. Now they all just bleed together into the one big mess of gay jokes, and references to old movies and the 80s.

 

[GarethSE]

40 year old virgin is comic fucking genius

because it isnt.

 

[Bekanor]

Look I like 40 year old virgin as much as the next guy, and I still love old Adam Sandler movies too. But I'm not going to throw on the blinders to how stale things are from both of them just because I happened to enjoy their work at an earlier point in time.

The chick with the ebay store in 40 year old virgin is a goddess however. I have the biggest scary basement dwelling white guy crush on her.

 

[GarethSE]

she's a hot grandma
fuck her while she watches murder she wrote

Hahahahahahahaha, come on, that's a brilliant line

 

[Bekanor]

I definitely would.


I could get an awesome fuck rhythm going to the title theme music.

 

[GarethSE]

"i hired a girl who can't even lift an ipod to get you outta your slump!"

totally what i could do with

 

[Dylan S]

My favourite part of that movie at the moment is when Andy is trying to describe having sex, but he obviously has no idea, and he says "and I'm...like...nailin' her..." and it cuts to that black guy and he has this heaps surprised look on his face and mannerism like "OH SHIT! "

Gets me every time.

 

[Bekanor]

The Indian guy from Zakk and Miri and the sex therapist from Boston Legal make so much of that movie.

 

[GarethSE]

you know when you're feeling a womans breast... and... and its like... like a bag of sand...

"AINT NO BAG O SAND?!" *typical movie black guy shocked face*

 

[Last_Confession]

my point is i dont see the need to get out of your car and harass him back all he did was tap your window by the sound of it i think your reaction was over the top

I had a similar experience recently while driving to the city. As I stopped in line at a set of traffic lights a man was walking through the cars offering to clean anyone's windscreen/windshield and after being stuck in metro traffic for long enough I had less than average patience. As he walked up pointing to my windscreen I smiled and casually pulled on the wiper arm and automatically cleaned the glass. Needless to say he was less than impressed. Take that, you stupid.....strange person I dont know trying to make money on a street corner.
yeah.
