Anyone who lives in a big city or who has been through one has most likely been asked for money from a stranger. Usually the people are nice. Or at least pretend to be. They're like "God bless you" even if you don't give them change. Sometimes they're too nice to the point of it being annoying. Well...
The other night, I was walking in Fells Point. I walked by these two females who were standing by a stop sign. One yelled rudely "GIMME MONEY!" while the other was like "BUY ME SOME FOOD!". Less than two seconds later, after my not answering them and walking by, one yelled "FUCK YOU, BITCH!" while the other was like "YOU UGLY ASS". Pissed off, I was like "Who the fuck do you think you are, at least I'm not a homeless ass." The one female like gasped haha. I don't think she expected me to say anything back. So I get into my car and as I'm pulling out of my spot they stand in front of the parking spot while smacking their asses to me. And I said "Why don't you sell that for money?" And the girl actually smiled as if I had paid her a compliment.
Moral of the story is if you're going to ask for something from someone, be nice. If you're mean not only are you not going to get anything but people are going to think you must not need it that badly anyways so they won't even feel bad about not giving you any thing. I shouldn't have made a comment about the person being homeless but I'm just human. If you piss me off and are disrespectful to me for no reason, I'm gonna disrespect you right back.
Not all homeless people are huge assholes. A lot of them are nice people who for different reasons, ended up in bad situations. But it's the few bad homeless people that ruin it for the rest of them. I don't give money to anyone anymore 'cuz I don't want to get screwed over. A friend of mine reached in his wallet to give someone a dollar and the person snatched a $20 that was in his hand and ran off with it. Once, I had gotten food from a place and outside was a homeless lady. She said she was hungry so I gave offered to give her some of my food. Rolling her eyes and not even being thankful at all, she said "You can afford to buy me something bigger than that". That's when I walked off and she got nothing.
Speaking of food, I'm excited. They just opened up a Long John Silver by my place! I'm gonna go there in an about an hour. I haven't had LJS since I was in Ohio. It sounds gross but it's good. It's fast food seafood. I love seafood.
