After living in the heart of New York City for a mere two days, I have discovered an interesting fact. There is such a thing as "rich hobos."
This man was in the most disgustingly filthied, caked, and scraggly clothing, begging me for change to use the bus. So I give him a few quarters because he was just that invasive to my personal space. He left, and I went to get my lunch. The end.
Then I go back the same way after consuming the worst sushi I have ever tasted, and I catch a glimpse of this man again. Entering the driver's seat of black 2007 Mercedes. We exchanged glances for a moment, he broke the staring contest by giving me a smirk, and sped off, blasting the most obnoxiously loud rap music as he ran through a red light.
My trust in people has dwindled some since this happened.
