You’ve probably come across an entitled, choosy beggar at one point or another in your time on this earth. What’s so wild about certain choosing beggars that you cross paths with is that they can end up being some of the most picky people you’ve ever met. If you’re kind enough to help someone out who is caught up in a tight squeeze, and they then have the audacity to try to tinker around with the terms of the free handout, things are clearly going nowhere fast. These choosing beggars are definitely in need of some serious wakeup calls.

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.
