So does Frank, and others, apparently. :rolleyes:
What’s your point?
Good night, troll.
You’re a douchebag for that snotty condescending attitude. You treated the guy as less than a human being, who should be positively orgasmic that an Exalted One such as yourself deigned to notice his pathetic existence.
Personally, I hope the quarter you flipped him was one of those rare ones worth tons of money. It would make my fucking week if he’d caught it…identified it as such…and danced his way down to the auction house to sell it for millions.
Sure. Contractors aren’t bums. And they seem to shower daily.
What happened to respect!
The fact that it was a shitty quarter, and that you couldn’t even touch hum enough to hand him money. And BTW, if he was a crack addict or some other kind of junkie, how would you expect him to be able to catch anything?
It is a damn fine line between throwing something to someone and throwing it at someone, and why would you be outraged that anyone might be on the other side of that line from you at some point.
Apparently you have a reading disability. Let me repeat the exact words of my OP:
What’s condescending about that? Please, explain. And you don’t need to limit your reply to one-syllable words, either – I’m smrt like taht. 
It was a Maine state quarter. I’m no numismatist, but those aren’t exceptionally rare, are they?
Throwing money at anyone is degrading.
How’s about this for starters then:
Y’know, I might have used the word fellow, or bloke, or chap, (given that this person had actually helped my journeying earlier) but you chose the pejorative ‘bum’.
Is that condescending enough for you?
:rolleyes:
“Toss” =/ “Throw”
Have you ever “tossed” a beer at a pal? It was exactly like that. I got his attention, motioned that I had something for him, then gently tossed the money towards his outstretched hand. The fact that it bounced off his palm was an accident…or, looking back, the drugs he was on ruined his manual dexterity. He didn’t kick the coin away until he saw it was “only a stinking quarter”, as FrankieFrank and other morons of his ilk have stated.
At Weyburn and Broxton, two blocks over is Stan’s Donuts, the center of the doughnut universe. Check it out.
One thing I dislike about the internet is that it gives ineffectual dickheads a place to bitch about really dumb shit. In the good old days they just kept it bottled up until they died of an ulcer.
Given that we don’t have avatards (hence I don’t remember much about the OP ;)), this has got to end in a “gotcha ya”, right? I mean FP isn’t really that much of a doosh is he?
Hate to burst your bubble, but AFAIK, the BBQ Pit is a place specifically reserved for bitching about really dumb shit. On the bright side, on this board, I don’t have to use terms like “gay” or “retarded” just to fit in with the locals. 
Thanks, I’ll check it out next time I’m down there.
Thanks for the laughs fuzzypickles! This thread has been freakin’ hilarious!
Next time, do one about fat people who declaw their circumcised cats after riding a bike through a stop sign!
ETA: I don’t care if you have a bet or not, there is NO WAY this is going to beat the Pro Bono thread for # of posts.
Wow, you people don’t have any experience with street bums, do you? Particularly those who are there because of their own fault?
fuzzypickles, a lot of people who are homeless have mental issues as well. And I doubt the guy was all that acquainted with Emily Post. (BTW, what IS the protocol when someone “tosses you a quarter”)
You bite it and say “Bless you sir”
I think the thing to do is to go to a fast food place, buy a cup for water, and make yourself a heap of napkin sandwiches using the free ketchup packs and the napkin dispenser.
(man, this thread just keeps on getting better)
Your mind should be as broad as the brush you paint with. And, no, I’m not homeless, previously homeless, or even a homeless sympathizer, apologist, or whatever you kids are calling it these days.
