I hate making myself out to be some spoiled little white kid from the suburbs. I don't liek people like that. I'm fairly well off, but my family's certainly not well off enough that I would get a Lexus for my birthday and have my insurance paid for by parents and not have to work at all like some people. I didn't have a job in high school but that was due mostly to me not having a car to use since we only had one car and the wakl to just about anywhere I could work sucking and the fact that I was almost always busy with music and my mom didn't want me walking in the dark. Whenever a hobo stops me for money I pull out the "I'm so really sorry, but I don't have any money. My mom gave me a card to use instead. I'm sorry. Have a nice day, sir." routine. Though sometimes I just pretend like I can't hear them if they're far enough away and on the other side of the street or if they have a voice that's difficult to understand. That's only when I get stopped though. I generally just give them a smile and keep walking if I can.
Apparently after only about half a week of living here the guy at the gas station can recognise me at a MARTA station...
