Pretending to be Disabled
Beggars can be seen in many big cities across the world. While poverty is a real problem and we’d love to help those who are less fortunate than us, there are also people who take advantage of the situation. This tourist was visiting Berlin for the first time and got tricked into giving a Romanian woman 10 Euros after they thought she was deaf and dumb.
We’re not sure how they found out but the woman was just pretending to be disabled. Imagine the confusion and the anger the OP must have felt. The worst part is now they’re going to always think twice before helping someone else.
