So I was on the subway the other day heading to school when a homeless man comes on to the car explaining that he is hungry and if anyone could help him out it would be greatly appreciated...blah blah blah and god bless. This happens all the time. So I go into my bag and take out a wrapped nutri-grain bar hoping to help is hunger a little. He looks at me and says "I don't want that, I want money". I was in disbelief as were the other riders on the subway. The other riders all glimpsed at me like "oh man what a crack head". Needless to say no one else gave him anything!
If I were him and didn't want the food, I would take it and pretend to be thankful in hopes that the other riders would give me something for being so grateful. It just made everyone else see he wants money to support his habit of drugs/alcohol. C'mon homeless dude, what happened to strategy!
