Mean Spirited People

[nailit]

Why are some people so mean spirited?
Just been to the cinema and popped into the off license on the way home. The staff in the shop were complaining about a kid outside who was collecting a "penny for the guy". For Gods sakes, havn't they done the same thing when they were kids? I came out and gave the kid a pound, its hardly going to break the bank! My ex was like that as well. Would never tip a taxi driver or give a kid a few pence for his guy or put spare change into a charity box....used to drive me nuts, I hate meaness.
Theres more than enough in life for everyone if we share a little with others
(or is this the drink talking, lol)

mean spirited maggiebee -I said I give money -I didn't say to whom and the point was I don't give money then pontificate (look it up) about those who don't.

[Retrochic]

idiots! lol!

Look at your own comments Retro.
Hmmm,, makes me wonder how high and mighty some "think they are".

[maggiebee]

Thank you for your clarification Retro - as an English graduate I don't feel the need to look up the word "pontificate"; I only have to read your posts which make it perfectly clear.

@naillit

by the way congratulations on finally landing a job! (I'm guessing. Offy, handing out money to street urchins and so on. If there was a thread, sorry I missed it).

Ill always give if I've some change on me, although what winds me up is when you cant walk more than 20ft without bumping into a chugger or someone rattling a tin.

I've been giving to CLIC Sergent and the PDSA for years after someone knocked on my door, I had another knock the other afternoon and it was a nice chap trying to sign people up for donations to Battersea Dogs home,
I politely declined his offer and pointed out that we were standing in south Bristol.
