let them bother me. I just tell them to frick off and i carry on with my day.

I know I shouldn't but it always makes me feel bad. I mean I've been in bad situations before, never to the point that I have to go ask random people for pocket change, but I get that everyone can have a train of bad shite happen. Life is hard. I guess that's why it bothers me so much because I know that most of these people are full of shite and just trying to prey on people's good will to get free cash.

The only time I've ever given money to a stranger is when a guy approached me at the Shell on Seigen a few years ago and said "Hey bra, I don't want to lie to you. I'm broke and could really use a drink. You got a couple of dollars to spare?" I appreciated his honesty.
