Ruining Things for All the Other Panhandlers
This next story is kind of sad: not for the guy who gave a dollar, only to have it used for something he did not expect, and not for the homeless guy who had to beg in order to get cigarettes, but for all the other homeless people that this poster will ever meet.
Because he will undoubtedly run into panhandlers again in the future, and many of them will be in genuine need, but he will remember this experience and decide not to give them anything because one time a guy said he was going to use a dollar for McDonald’s and he did not.
