Busker parkour

By Anonymous Pillock - 30/04/2014 22:25 - United Kingdom

Today, I came across a street musician. He looked extremely well-fed already, but his music was pretty good, so I gave him some spare change. As soon as I turned away, he started screaming at me for being "cheap", and chased me half a block before running out of breath. FML

at least you were thoughtful enough to give him something in the first place! he should have been thankful.

Good thing he was 'extremely' well fed, if he was skinnier he may have caught you.

I might be messed up for saying this, but wouldn't it be funny if someone took the change while he was chasing you? This would teach him to be grateful for what he has.

today, I was working my job as a street musician. some dbag tipped me a number of cents and I chased after him, only to find the entire contents of my tip jar empty when I returned. FML.

Damn. I would've asked for the money back then. He should've said thanks and been done with it.

Maybe you can ask when he's done chasing you.

given that it says "United Kingdom" on the top of the fml, i would asume not.

I'm St. Lucian living in America, people migrate. His comment is valid independently, but it is a reference to an earlier FML about an OP fishing for tips from a Canadian man.

I'd have rammed his head through the wall and taken every tip he had...and I'm a musician.

Street musicians aren't homeless or beggars, they need to buy a permit to busk, and where I'm from they are generally college students that do music courses and homeless people wouldn't tend to own an instrument. YDI for being such an idiot and assuming he's either homeless or busking is his only source of income.

it's the thought that counts OP, I'm sure you're one of the few who took a moment to acknowledge his music. good on you, it's unfortunate he had to be rude about it.
