Some people are just worthless

I think you shouldn't say some people are worthless. Everyone has at least some value. That's mean to say. But yes they should feel shame, they might not however. All you can do is try to help. If they do something else they let that be their problem. The important thing is you were generous enough to give him something, don't be fooled, so people actually use the money for what they say they'll use it for.

Hi kingparker, that gas station owner should look after the welfare of cutomers and ensure there are no bad people around esp unwarranted beggars disturbing(real beggars don't go to a gas station to beg because they are physically weak). You could have just ignored the person.

Nobody should be seen as worthless. We all need the self confidence we get from our worthiness. Some of us just need a little extra push in the right direction. Everyone is worthy of something in this world.

They would not feel shame at all especially if they are misguided from their parents. Here in the Philippines it happens they are even forcing you to give them something like the food you are holding. They were asking money then they will use it for toys or something.

I know it's very annoying, but eventhough things like this are happening, you cannot still say that there are some people out there who are worthless. Everything as its purpose. That 20 year old guy that your talking about has his purpose too. His purpose is to make this world not perfect enough. And that is reality, that there are, not some, but a big number of human who's purpose is to NOT to make this world a better one. Chill out my friend. At least your purpose is on the other side. The side whose purpose is to make this world a better one.

I have a roommate.What she do is staying in her room laughing with her friend all day and sleeping and she never cleans the kicken. Can't believe she can live! She didn't have any income and only go to commuity college sometimes.So is completely a failure and never study or work!!!

Unfortunately in the city I live it that is an all too common occurrence. There are some people out there that really could use a helping hand of sorts and the people like the young man you mentioned make all of them look bad.

I have had this happening to me more and more lately it seems. I'm always surprised that people try things like this where I live outside of a Goodwill store or a thrift shop. If I had a lot of money, enough to give away, I wouldn't be shopping always at those places. I like those places, but I'm always surprised that people try to get money from shoppers here instead of at the richer malls in town. The other day I saw a man buy a cheap gas can in the store next to the Goodwill. That store sells a variety of cheap goods so I was in there getting something and was actually behind the man buying the cheap plastic gas can while he was checking out. Then I went into the Goodwill and came out about 20 minutes later. Suddenly, here is that same man, carrying that gas can he just purchased, coming across the parking lot toward me saying, "Excuse me, but my wife and I have car trouble on the highway and I was wondering if you could help us out with some money for gas?" He obviously hadn't noticed that I was behind him and had just seen him spend money when he bought this same gas can just about a half hour earlier. In fact, he had taken out a $20 bill to pay for that gas can because I remembered the clerk counting back his change from $20. This man was young, strong, healthy, had clean and what looked like expensive clothes on. I just ignored him, didn't speak, and left, but the sad thing about people like this is there are a lot of people who genuinely need help and now people shy away sometimes from helping others lest they be a crook like this man obviously was. I don't understand people like this. They may be taking money from people who can afford it the least, just because they don't want to try to earn their money honestly.

He is indeed worthless! I hate people like that. They only think about themselves. I just know that time will come they will learn from what they're doing. Good thing you saw what he did, at least you will already know what to do next time. That's also one of the reasons why I dont like giving out money to those who asks. If they ask for money then they are up to something.

Yes, someone is just worthless sometimes. In order to achieve his own aims,he can play any trick on others. In fact,he was cheating other people by pretending to be poor. Just like what you met at the gas station. It only shows that you are not lucky. Actually,in daily life,indeed we need to help others.They are really poor and need some supports from others. For me, if I meet such people,I would donate money to him or her under no condition. However, if I come across the people just like you met, I will reject it strongly. Their behaviors are just cheating. I certainly look down upon them. No money to them forever!!! I always feel shameful to them. Right? Pls look out for such things next time. Have a good day.
