Panhandler
Every day at the corner a few blocks from my house, a panhandler begs for money. He carries the typical sign. Homeless, hungry. God Bless. This is a guy who has no visible physical impairments, appears to be physically fit, and can sprint across the road when he sees that someone is about to hand over some cold, hard cash. He has the light timed to perfection, and knows the precise moment to begin working the car line. He has a backpack and bedroll, and switches signs every now and then. He's even tried the "the hell with food, I want some beer" sign to rake in some additional donations.
I think this guy should get off his lazy ass and look for a job. People should not be supporting him by handing out free money. There are too many charities and homeless centers that are available now. This guy doesn't need to beg on the street corner, and it should be illegal to do so.
