Beggar on the tram

May 21, 2007 11:17 pm

Tonight’s SPOTD was the bedraggled homeless guy that was on my tram at the end of the day. I have very little interest in people begging for money and even less so after a very long day at work when someone who clearly doesn’t work wants me to give them my cash.

SPOTD: Excuse me, do you have two dollars?

Me (rummaging through pocket and fishing out a $2 coin): Hang on, let me check … Why, yes I do. Thanks for asking - I was kind of curious about the answer myself.

Moral of the story?  Be more specific when you’re begging.  You probably still won’t get any money from me but at least you’re not leaving yourself wide open to smarmy responses.
