Paid homeless guy to rebound my ball... am I a bad person?

[devin112]

u're paying him for good honest work. he probably got a lil cardio in chasing all your bricks it's not like you're exploiting him for financial gain or amusement. you guys heard of BUMFIGHTS? now that's exploitation

he said he hangs around that parc alot so If I ever needed him I could just ask.

Cool. Now just be careful. There might come a day when u can't pay him. U don't need a stalker..

When I clicked on the thread I seriously thought somebody paid a hobo to be his teammate in a pickup game. That would be literally sickening for the other team fighting for rebounds over the hobo

Hey, in this economy a job's a job...

Taking advantage of? He probably enjoyed it. Those guys get no interaction with anyone and get written off in society.

The guy probably felt pretty good afterwards.

If he is physically capable of rebounding for you and not hobbled I think it's cool. He gets exercise and a little human interaction, some spending money, and you were nice enough to give him a coupon for food.

I think it was nice of you. I would have only given him a couple of stray 1's.

Hehe yeah lol...
He was actually waiting for me there today.
Its awesome and the guy seems genuinely happy to do it too.

[Shadow Zujed]

He probably just likes having interaction with someone else. Do you guys talk when you are shooting?

[devin112]

as long as you didn't bend him over, it's cool

[LT Ice Cream]

Way better than ignoring him. At least you probably kinda made him feel like he's still a person.

OP, you're def. a good kid since you valued his service over his status by paying him a decent "hourly wager."

[Skywalker]

LOL whyd you put a guy playing a violin omfg roflmao

[jbot]

u did a good thing. there's no harm in it unless he took the money to go buy some smack or something.
