minus-squareOutlierBlue@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·2 days ago I know in my city I’ve seen a “homeless” guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off. Yeah? You’ve seen it? You saw him begging and saw him get in a luxury car and drive away? He parked right beside where he was begging? I call bullshit.
minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down4·2 days agoYeah. I saw him begging for 3 weeks. Then one day he walked across the street to the parking lot, and got in a red sports car.
minus-squareScranulum@feddit.nulinkfedilinkarrow-up2·21 hours agoWell, it’s impossible for anyone who owns a red sports car to become homeless, so he must have been lying.
