Whoever said beggars can’t be choosers? It wasn’t me. As I walked from the gym to the tube this evening I was approached by a homeless man and we had the following exchange:
Him: Hey man, I’m really hungry. Need to get some food. Got 20p?
Me: Sorry man, I got 5p
Him: (pause) Naah I need 20p
Me: You sure?
Him: Yeah no thanks.
Man walks off.
I continued to walk to the tube, stunned at a refusal of one quarter of the funds requested. Oh well.
