Man is unironically the meme and doesn’t see it. “Why aren’t they showering me with gratitude for throwing 20 cents at them? They must’ve just wanted drugs!”
More like “why is this dude freaking out at me for giving him what I had?”
I don’t expect gratitude when I give someone something, even though it’s appreciated. I do expect to be treated with the same respect I give them though. I’ve had family in that situation, so I get how hard it can be for people living on the street. Still doesn’t excuse that kind of behavior towards someone trying to do what little they can to help you.
I lived in Meth City at the time, and there was an epidemic among the homeless (my mother included). But sure, I’m just making unfounded assumptions and expecting praise for being kind. If that makes you feel better, good for you.
They don’t want gratitude. They just want to give what they can and not be accosted by the asker.
And his assessment is totally right. Those that need help are happy to recieve anything. Those that are trying to scam you get angry and sometimes violent. I’m sure there’s a subsection dealing with some mental illness that both really need help and react poorly, but as a general trend this is true.
Overall people are missing the point of the meme. This is about elected officials offering non-solutions and pretending they solved something. Not the actions of a literal individual
