Damn just heard a dude ask people if they have five bucks or any spare change. I believe in behavioural economics that’s called anchoring.

Once a homeless beggar told me “there’s an ATM right there you selfish removed!”

Shocking but also that’s not gonna fly for long with the number of atms dwindling.

The guy who was asked padded his jacket and threw his hands up and the dude gave him a dirty look and mumbled ‘jeez’. Sigh.

I gave a guy $20 recently. Went to coles and got it out. He looked like he needed it. He was sitting outside the shops with a sign. He saw me about a month later on a tram and told me it really helped him out. Why are we supposed to be able to laugh at the homeless and or broke? I think it’s kinda pathetic.

Good on you for doing that. Apologies if it came across as making fun of him that wasn’t the intention.
