MyLifeIsAverage

Life is pretty normal today.
Today, I saw a hobo with a sign that said "I just like holding cardboard." I'm glad there's at least one hobo out there who does what he loves for a living. MLIA

Hobos are awesome! I have one on my street. He does an Irish jig if you give him a nickel.

Does he hold a sign that says 'Dignity for sale'?

I wasn't aware that being a hobo was an occupation.

Oh, it is. It's on the grand master list of occupations... right under space cowboy. That's my occupation. Some people call me Maurice.

Hey! I saw that sign too but I saw mine on the internet! Wow, that person must live in your neighborhood!! Way cool! Moron.

hey, kiska. there's probably more than one hobo who likes holding cardboard in the english-speaking world.

Thank you for clarifying that genius.

I like the ones in Toronto who have signs that say "Will take verbal abuse for money". I give them coffee and muffins instead of verbal abuse or money though :/

I want an awesome hobo. Why are there never any creative ones where I live?!

i'm just trying to point out you don't have to be so negative. why call this person a moron just because you saw it on the internet? maybe they saw it in real life as well. i thought MLIA was a place for entertainment and fun, but now that i've started reading the comments i don't like a lot of the people who post here.

leave?

I agree, theworstpartin.... I thought this was a place to post average stories about everyday life. Maybe this person really saw a hobo like that. Maybe the hobo found out about another hobo doing something like that overhearing it on the street and decided to do that too?

There's a hobo near my campus who alternates between signs reading: "Voldermort broke my wand", "Vader killed my parents. Need new lightsaber" and, since it's NYU I got to, "NYU tuition fund".

I'd hug him and shower him with money.

What kind of fucked up emoticon is that?

There seems to be some confusion about hobos and panhandlers. One person is even talking about a "local hobo." You can't have a local hobo, people.... There are dictionaries online. There are even websites dedicated to the hobo lifestyle, past and to some extent present -- there are still people living the hobo life. -Cougar :{)

I want to do this one day. Sit holding a sign like this, I mean, while dressed up like a homeless person. But not with anything for people to put money in, because then I'd feel weird.
