I broke my own rule.

We were JUST talking about this yesterday, and I said I NEVER give money to homeless people.

But today I did. Because he had a cat, who was wearing a sweater and was on a leash. A cat in a homemade sweater, you guys. I couldn't say no to it.

Re: I broke my own rule.

  • i used to give every friday to this guy on the way to work.  however, i stopped after listening to a TAL podcast about two guys who went homeless voluntarily in ny, and they talked about how easy it was -- panhandling, free meals at the soup kitchen, etc.  i was thoroughly disgusted.  i give to shelters instead.

  • that's cute. but i thought you were going to say that your rule is to never go out unless it's an overcast day because you've told people you're a vampire, and they may wonder why your skin doesn't sparkly like diamonds.
  • I thought this was going to be about you eating a cupcake baked in a home not yours.

  • this could be a fun game, "what is everyone's rule".

  • That's my main problem here too. There are a TON of kids who chose to be on the streets, and they're rude and act like they're entitled to my money.

    But this was an older guy. With a cat in a sweater.

    Good reasoning. Actually, I would have thought the same thing. Seeing as I have 5 FIVE cats, because I can't find anyone to adopt them. My heart can't take that, if I take them to a shelter, they may not find a forever home...

  • wz, we should play that game tomorrow!

  • I break it on occasion...

    but I prefer to give where I know they use it on occasion.

     

    But I might break it for a cat in a sweater.

  • What is it about cats in sweaters?  When I was in Seattle, down by the original Starbucks, volunteers were soliciting donations for a local animal shelter.  One guy was holding a cat in a sweater, and the next thing I knew, I was emptying my wallet into their collection jar.

    Cats in sweaters, man.  SMH.  Gets me every time.
