Pan handlers never learn their lessons. Don’t they realize that we’re already onto their scam. So forget the sob story, we just don’t buy it.

Scenario # 1

This woman walked down in my car on 4 train. So what’s her story. I’m unemployed and I have a child to support. Well then get a job. There are plenty of public assistance programs offered by the federal government. In addition, she could probably seek out help from organizations like Dress for Success. Worse case scenario, she could probably get a job flipping burgers at McDonalds. In the end, commuters turned a deaf ear to her story. She continued down the car in desparation, befuddled by the lack of donations. Seriously,most New Yorkers are unemployed. And at this point we’ve grown cynical of these pan handlers like her. Oh wells. Maybe she have better luck on the next car or on tourist train line.

Scenario # 2

After transferring to the next train home. I’ve encountered one of the regular pan handlers. It’s the guy from United Homeless Organization. Doesn’t he realized that we’ve all heard his pitch about a million times, at least twice a day for 365 days. By golly! Do you think we’re dumb and don’t know you’re just another con artist. I guess not!
