Today I decided to take the city bus to downtown and do my school at coffee shop that I usually go to on a regular basis. I arrived and got a 16 oz Vanilla Latte and went on with my school. Then I decided to walk to starbucks because I just like switching locations when I do school I am a person that likes change. While I was walking to Starbucks there was a homeless man sitting on the curb with a sign saying “Gimmeh some moneys boi” Ok…that’s not exactly what it said but that is how I read it. I purposely put my hand in my pocket so that he couldn’t hear my money and coins jingling in my pocket and I tried to make no eye contact, that was hard for me because I always make eye contact. I sort of felt bad though for not giving him any money. I usually always give money to the homeless because I feel bad for them or I just feel like being a nice human.
The last homeless man that I gave money to was super rude and stupid. Ok sorry he wasn’t stupid he was just SUPER rude. I decided to give him the rest of my change and then he just looked at me and said is that it?, you have a home and I don’t so you should give me more. I was so freaking mad inside but I just said dude. are you serious right now? I just gave you some money because I wanted to be nice!?!!? and then I just walked away. So that’s kind of the reason I don’t give money to the homeless as much, because you don’t know what they’re gonna spend it on? they might spend it on weed, drugs, or alcohol. I am not saying that ALL homeless people are like that but that experience did give me a little perspective on how ungrateful they can be.
