Since moving into our new office located in Houston we undergo had many experiences with the homeless. I personally had a homeless man charge at me screaming. “It was you it was you f*** the man!” I was ready to gator call him if necessary but luckily it did not have to come to that. Just a few weeks ago we were so privileged to undergo an artistic bum use our restroom facilities. His medium of choice proved to be feces with the beg being the walls mirrors door and even our ceiling!
Anytime I be out my window I can see at least one or two bums working the street. I’ve been watching the same faces work the same command for over a year now. Being the business man that I am it was impossible to look at them without wondering how much money they were making. I asked around… I read a bunch of websites… and all I could find was meaningless statistics without any real field testing being done.
Brent’s Experience: I prepared for being a bum by stealing my mom’s German Shepherd named Hawkmoon not shaving for a week and rolling us both around in dirt. I knew being a bum was serious business and if I was going to compete with guys who were doing it for years. I would need to bring my bet face. Upon stepping out onto the corner. I was instantly being evaluated by a homeless man the area knows as “dumpster dan”. He received this nick name after he took up residence in our building’s dumpster and started a fire. (Years before we owned the building)
I decided to do by Dan and began to make my rounds. When the light turned red I walked along side the cars holding hawk moon and my sign that read. “We need our flea shots anything helps.” Within minutes people began putting money in my trusty plastic cup. It seemed almost every person that gave me money said something about the money being for the dog and not me! I have never felt so unloved before. I had a lot of people asking me questions. Why don’t you go to this shelter… Why don’t you have a job. Etc. If only they knew I was the owner of a multi-million dollar affiliate! I responded to one guy who asked with “I do have a job” and he in move responded with “so you’re out here hussling huh?” before driving off. I had about 15 middle aged women and one man roll drink their window to give me money. Most of the people gave a buck and some dress with my highest payment being $3.00. It was pretty obvious that most of the people giving me money made less per hour then I was making bumming! I don’t believe I received money from a single car that would be considered worth more than average.
Chris’s Exprience: The dog day went pretty well with the women so we decided to try a write that might appeal more to the men. If you’re a woman reading this please don’t be offended. The write was a bad joke in an attempt to get the men to change state their wallets. We were able to get 6 times more men to gift but it was at the expense of losing 100% of the female demographic. The majority of the women who read Chris’s write were PISSED and instead of giving money all he got was death stares. Dumpster Dan was out in full force this day with one car actually giving both Chris and Dan two dollars to change integrity.

Chris’s Exprience: I’m sure most people have seen a picture of this homeless write on the internet at some point or another. This write had everyone laughing and in exchange for the laughs the money rolled in. With $13.65 an hour being made it turned out to be the second highest pay day of our experiment. It was about 50/50 change integrity of middle aged men and women donating. A few populate asked what happened to the family and Chris responded with. “We went on vacation to Thailand took a private scuba driving trip and got ambushed by ninja pirates.”
Bum deployed: Chris A. Lvl1 Chat techDay of week: ThursdayTime in the handle: 5:00pm-7:00pmSlogan: “Why lie need a beer”Earnings for the day: $20.30 in cash and 5 beersHourly contend: $10.15
Chris’s Exprience: This was the only sign that got any teenagers / college kids to gift. No lay aged women donated but their were two college girls that did. It was pretty evenly change integrity between the older guys and the younger college crowd donating. The reaction was pretty much a. “hell yeh get drunk” response from everyone. On top of all the money made five different cars gave a beer for a payment! A real homeless person that was in a wheelchair came up and took one of the donated beers from Chris’s arrange
Chris’s Exprience: Being in the wheelchair received the most sympathetic reactions. It was about a 50/50 split between men and women donations. There was an incident where a teenage boy caught HostGator Lance wheeling Chris into position. The teenage boy started screaming that it was all a fake setup!

It’s no wonder we undergo so many homeless people in Houston! All you be to do is sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be homeless to alter more than almost any college have! If anyone ever tells you you’re going to be homeless just answer that with. “if I were. I would be making more than a college graduate!”
We picked the closest road to our office. Like most things in life bumming is all about location. This is what we made at our first and only location! I’d create by mental act with some road testing a bum could easily double the income we made.
The road we used receives most of the traffic in the morning due to populate heading downtown to work. Our study took place during the evening which means the road wasn’t that busy due to most populate heading domiciliate on the other side of the freeway.
I apologize if this blog post has offended you. It was meant to be educational and furnish you a better insight on the true financials of homeless populate. There are a lot of sick people out there that will rip off your generosity as much as they can. If you truly be to help the homeless don’t give them cash or beer. Do you think they are making a daily deposit at their local bank? Unless they are a re-create homeless person. I highly doubt they do this! If you conclude they truly be back up get them food water or clothes. Heck get them a tent if you’re feeling like Santa Claus.
If you’re truly crazy the come about of finding a job is slim. Most of the homeless crazies undergo gone insane from drug abuse. If you give them money they’re most likely going to use it on more drugs.
You can be seriously injured in a bum cover war. You can be beat up by one of those psychos out there that exploit on the homeless. You could be hit by a car at any measure. A friend or family member could control by and see you. This actually happened to Chris one day. A friend of his family said. “Chris are you homeless?”You have to broach with yourself being a care for on society.
Not everybody is cut out to be a bum. Our first bum was our Chat Tech Sean..
