stingy?
Really messed up homeless people keep asking me for money. There is this armless woman who hobbles around the exit off 94 by my house, and watching her wobble up the street knocking on car windows, gumming her toothless face in a contorted smile, makes me extremely uneasy. Today there was a guy in a wheelchair dancing in the street earlier while I was stopped at a red light. He looked at me and I just looked away. Living in a city where homelessness is fairly common, I've gotten to the point where I as a rule don't give out money. Yet the other day I was at the Western stop on the blue line and this dirty but really hot white boy about my age asked me for money - and I found myself reaching in my pocket for some quarters - and then I gave him a DOLLAR on top of that. There's something inherently disgusting about that, isnt there?
