On any given day, Megan can be found stepping out the side door, sometimes to walk the dog or maybe to talk on the phone. One day she'll go shopping with a nice coat and purse. But most of the time, Megan can be seen, in a dumpy old hooded sweatshirt and backpack, looking the part of a stranded young lady.

Sad.....

However, if you see her...give her the finger and tell her PRE says Hi!

The sadder thing is that she isn't the only one who does that. That's why when i'm in big cities I never give change to homeless people..yeah, it's kind of heartless, but you never know who's actually homeless and who isn't.

We get that crap all over Coventry, a favourite of people here is to hang around the uni asking us for 50p for a bus or a train ride home. Problem is they never ask for more than that and its the same people who seem to rotate. Kinda obvious that they are just after money for more than a bus/train ticket. There is also the homeless guy in a suit, hes been here for years, in the same place begging, kinda strange him been in a suit but we just tend to ignore these people.

People do the same thing with the government. Same concept anyway.

I'm all for charity, but I've yet to see a case where someone can't at least get a minimum wage job to get them through a day. They are just too lazy to get it. My work place has "hired" people from places that are suppose to be helping people "gain experience" to help them get jobs. But it's a waste of time 80 to 90 percent of the time. They sit around and expect you to do the job while they get free food and whatever other benefits the program allows them to get.

The reporter's advice at the end is probably the best to take, but even then you just don't know.

I find it sad that someone would exploit people's kind hearts to just get money. It makes it hard for the one's who do want to give to trust the people that appear to be homeless. Lazy people like this girl should be taught a lesson. How? Idk but they should be anyway.

Why am I not surprised this girl's name is Megan? No offence to anyone named Megan here, but believe me, one of the worst people I've known has that name. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's her, even.

To me, this is sick. And it only makes things worse for those who truly are in need. As for her punishment? Why not show her what it's really like to be in such dire circumstances and force her to live without any sort of assistance given all that she received without having an actual need?

Thanks >.< lol

I agree with you about making her see what it's really like. And her mother knew she was doing it, when she said "well, I thought she might" you could see it in her expression and hear it in her voice she knew. Guess what? She lives in your house, you make the rules. Lay some down! Parents are too busy blaming other people that they seem to forget they have the greater power most of the time >.<

Oh man, I knew I was gonna piss someone off there >.< Well if it's any consolation you're nowhere near the one I meant lol (seriously you look nothing like her and I don't think you and I have the same Scottish ex lol)

And I completely agree - too many parents are completely ignoring their responsibilities and when something goes wrong... oh of course they're not to blame for it when they're the ones who are SUPPOSED to be teaching their kids right from wrong >.<

Dark Huntress · 04-26-2008, 06:22 PM

Oh, no, you didn't piss me off, I was just joking :) But I understand, I mean there is a name out there that is a similar comparison for me as well, lol.

**Elsa** · 04-26-2008, 06:31 PM

lol Good to know - but hey, if it makes you feel better you can smack both this chick and the one that angered me around some lol (I'm horrible, I know - but at least I'm cute and fun LOL!) In all seriousness though, I really do hope this girl's karma bites her in the ass - she deserves it after that
