Clothes from the thrift shop
I just got maddd hobo merch from the thrift shop
A power hobo is one of the hopeless many typically found in bus stations, airports, Starbucks and other public locations scrounging around for a power outlet.
Unlike hobos who may congregate around a fire in the winter to keep warm, power hobos congregate around the scarce resources offered by 2 three prong outlets that are sparingly located. Typically you can hear them say "hey is there an outlet back there" or "could you spare a few minutes for me to plug into your power outlet".
The flight was late and the power hobos began to drift through the airport looking for a spare power outlet. Buddy can you spare a watt.
A device or tactic used by hobos to solicit or obtain handouts from unwitting passers-by. These traps are often designed to take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hobos, which is a direct violation of rule 3 of the hobo ethical code. Traps may occasionally be marked with hobo signs designed to covertly communicate trap effectiveness with other hobos.
I barely escaped that hobo trap back there with my wallet.
Why is there an unopened champagne bottle by that bush? That's a hobo trap.
