The Beggar's Exchange Rate

When someone doesn't follow the international exchange rate and takes you for a ride. Usually common among people who have no money.

So I was in Montreal for the weekend, and I couldn't find a Bureau de Change anywhere. The only person I could find was this complete mess of a man looking in trashcans for lunch.

I asked him "can you make change?" and I showed him a fifty dollar bill U.S..

I got back five dollars Canadian.

I was given The Beggar's Exchange Rate.

Block-beggar

A person on social media that uses insults and ad hominems, instead of engaging in intellectually honest debate, then feigns shock and dismay when he is blocked. These people typically spend time on conspiracy theory sites and have problems separating fact from fiction.

This block-beggar is just hoping I'll block him so he can talk more trash when I'm gone.

Beer Beggar

Someone who thinks that just because you brought beer to a social outing that is an opportunity to come over and drink beer for free. Usually not from your geographic area. They will usually introduce themselves and then immediately ask for a complimentary beverage. After this they quickly excuse themselves and rejoin their own friends. They repeat this process over and over again approaching a different friend of yours each time, until your beer supply is exhausted.

Hey man what's up? My name Jc and I'm from South Congress, got a beer I can have? I'm not a beer beggar, I will get you back as soon as I get a car and some money!
