heb je vijftig cent?
I was standing at the metro station this morning at 7:20am in Amsterdam when this guy walks ridiculously close to me (like... literally right on top of me no exaggeration) and asks "Heb je vijftij cent?" (Do you have 50 cents?)
I can't tell you how much this annoys me. I wake up at 6am every morning... travel 65 kilometers to get to work (each way)... work 40 hours a week... and you stand here on top of me asking me to give you my money?
No. Seriously no.
I don't mind giving money to people who are playing music (only if it's good music!!!) or doing something that's somewhat productive... but coming up to me and disturbing my morning to ask me for money? Coming up to me while I'm on my way to make that money and asking me for it? I don't think so.
The worst time is when they ask me on Fridays when I'm about to go home... then I want to scream at them... I've just finished making that money for the week, I'm exhausted and tired and no, I don't feel like giving my money to you just because you ask me to.
