Pan Handlers in Dining Room?!?

A rant by: BalthazaarRamrod

The other day I went for dinner with a buddy of mine to PALATAL Mongolian restraunt (I think it's mongolian, but whatevs.) We ordered our food and were sitting down eating when this guy decided he would come in and ask us for change AT OUR TABLE! My buddy was quick with the toung lashing and told him "Piss-off, I'm EATING!" before I even turned to look at him.

I couldn't beleive what had happened. When did it become acceptable to come INTO a restraunt and harass people eating there? I am usually pretty decent to pan handlers. Sometimes if I have some extra change I'll dig into my pockets and help the guy get his drink on. This ticked me off though.

That's happened to me before but on the patio at Carlos and Murphy's. Some guy just walked up to everyone on the patio and asked for money.

This, my friends is exactly the reason why we should be allowed to carry weapons.

I don't think weapons are needed. A swift "GTFO ASSHOLE!" is good enough.

I'v had that happen at the Elephant and Castle downtown. It's very irritating. The guy wouldn't leave us alone either. We thought we would have to move in side but we wanted to sit out on the patio. The sad thing is that it's the business owners who end up paying for this, because we have never gone back there.

im glad taht has never happend to me... yes they do want the money... but the people taht work there should kick them out or do sumthing t make them stop!

Well I do think more than a get lost is required. That's the trouble with all you talk tough but turn into whooses Liberals when the sh*t hits the fan. By the way, how did you enjoy Brokeback Mountain?
big0joe says: 2006-01-20 22:30:33
yeah thats a good point. ppl really need to take some actions on this because on the streets is bad enough! not to mention in a resturaut. thats like someone walking into your house and asking for money!

Trailerpark: You're a real tryhard. I've seen your kind on the internet before. E-badass. You pretend to be this super right wing, I beat my kids tool box to flame other people. You're not even good at it or funny like BigB, so drop it. The shtick is old and taken by someone else.

Car Ramrod, go easy on little Joey. He could be my son or maybe even yours. We have all done our slumming in T-Cona sometime back in the day. (this is not a defend T-Cona topic). I just finished reading the post and all the comments and it's a more complex situation then most would think. As a store owner you don't want to seem mean and treat the scum like crap in front of customers. One of the customers will have compassion on this parasite and you instantly become the bad guy. Yet if you are kind to them, watch out. They will be back again that night, the next day and probably with their undesirable friends. All this being said, Ramrods idea is clearly the best (GTFO A-HOLE). But we already knew I'm a prick. It just sucks you are with the kids or on a date or something of this sort where you want to pretend you are level-headed and easy going. I find that's when i snap the most, then i have to spend an hour cleaning aids off my shoes and decaying skin particles from my strangling belt. Not pleasing.

Bahh, Go back to Russia
Koopinator says: 2006-01-23 17:20:47
Way to be Racist mastafella. There is nothing wrong with russians. Anyway to get people BACK ON TOPIC, The government does sh*t already why dont they just go and kill all the people who need money? That'll work out GREAT! NO! You're all going to have to live with the fact that people are ALWAYS gonna need money and how they get it is there own descision. Would you rather have them panhandle? or break into your car and jack it?
big0joe says: 2006-01-23 21:49:41
well obviously you wouldnt want them breaking into your car. but there is a limit to how far they can go to get money... and walking inot a resturaunt is way to far!
THETRUTH says: 2006-01-29 08:41:00
why break into your car when they can sell your kid meth, that's what all the people that have half a brain are doing instead of pan handling. the ones pan handleing either don't want to work,can not work and don't want to go to jail.. You are right the government is not and will not do anything to fix this, and truley there is not way to fix this problem except shoot all the ones that are useless in the head, but we aer not allowed or will we be so, too bad lump it

HOLY SHIZNITCH TRUTH. lay off the moonshine. 8:30am and still torched. You need to see a councellor or something.

It is a tough call for the business owners when pan handlers come into their place of business. It's hard to reason with these people and if you get too tough the overly sympathetic idiots will yell at you for making your legal source of income a better place to visit. Personally, I cheer everytime a downtown security guards throws one of these pieces of trash out on their butts. They wanna be street rats, then we should have the right to treat them like rats.
