My Recent Experience with a Transient

I did it just for you.

Did WW make a funny and de-rail the conversataion at the same time?.. Wow

Yeah.

Now, back on topic.

I've never heard the word 'transient' used in terms with a homeless person...

I can understand them getting bummed out that I can't give them any money at the moment, but that gives them no right to talk shit. Maybe I didn't have any change in my pocket because I just gave it to your fucking buddy down the street. And if I see the same person again there's no way in hell I'm giving them money, they just ruined it by getting snappy with me.

Like I said, when I first started working downtown and saw homeless people everyday I honestly tried to help out when I could. Now, I'm just so sick of it that I don't even bother. It's worn on me.

I think it's an evolution of the term 'drifter'.

I was gonna give you a positive rep for this KA but it says I have to spread reputation around before I can rep you agian. So, I'll do it when I can.

Anyway, good story. Fat stuck up people piss me off.

Seriously, though, it's fucking annoying how some people are so greedy when you do try to help them out.

"Oh, it's only a dollar. I know you got more. Give me more."

Yeah, I've had something similar happen to me. Dude asked for money because he needed a bus ticket out of the city (yeah right). I gave him $2 and then he asked for more. That's not the way it works.

Do you... write down everytime someone questions you, in the hopes you can stick it in their face later?
