He then eyed my leftover food container and asked if he could please have it. It was supposed to be tomorrow's lunch but I couldn't say no t ...

Indignity #1 I was let go and I lost my job. Bleah. Indignity #2 Last night I was walking up Haight street when I passed a young guy who was holding a cardboard sign that said "I bet you a dollar you will read this sign." Though I sometimes give a dollar to a young woman who sings, I didn't hand the ...

Remember Ginette, the panhandler who became self-conscious about smiling because all her teeth had been pulled? Well, shortly after I blogged about her, Melinda, a Swiss blogger (she writes Misadventures in Knitting), very kindly knit Ginette a beautiful hat and sent it to me to give to her. I had a ...

Venturing out in downtown Portland requires one to run a gauntlet of panhandlers. I cannot make it to lunch and back without at least one person hitting me up for change (and it’s commonly three or four in a two-block trip). It’s reassuring that a simple “no” does not elicit this response in Oregon ...

Back when I was applying to colleges, the University of Chicago was my biggest reach (as they call them) and my college adviser told me not to expect to get in. She was surprised when I was waitlisted, instead of rejected outright, and she was even more surprised when I was accepted off the waitlist ...

I have a huge intolerance for panhandlers nowadays. I know it’s not a kind or compassionate position to take, but I can’t take it anymore. They are everywhere in my city, Las Vegas. It’s even worse than my old city, Detroit (believe it, it’s true). The mayor in Las Vegas, Mayor Oscar Goodman, pushed ...
