Nope. Never. Ever. I am suspicious of all panhandlers. There are well run organizations and churches to donate to so they can help those truly in need.

Well. . .

There was this one time I was about to give money to strangers at a store. But it was not a panhandling situation. . .

Picture it:

A Walgreen's checkout counter. . .

A teenage couple. . .

He was digging through his pockets to find change. . .

She was counting it out with him. . .

Quarters. Dimes. Nickels. . .

Trying to buy a package of condoms. . .

I waited. . .

They finally found the money they needed and checked out. . .

Had they not had enough quarters, dimes, and nickels, you can bet your sweet bippy that I would have made up the difference without saying a word--no lectures--no point.
