Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Or if you like psychology- he's using projection as a defense mechanism.

My take on this was that the homeless man saw OP with trashy clothes. The homeless man can't do anything about him being dirty and gross therefore he gets mad that OP chooses to look that way.

Because of FML I'm starting to suspect most homeless men are crazy.

Well, a site dedicated to stories of misfortune and stupidity isn't exactly the place to go for a positive depiction of people.

Most likely was, according to the man OP was dealing with, being homeless is not an excuse for looking raggedy. He is obviously an upper-crust homeless man. They have a social ladder too.

He most likely was. He must have been a upper-crust homeless man. Who are we to deny homeless people of their own materialistic social ladder?

What's up with homeless men and tier rude comments? He's probably just going through a rough time OP, don't take it to personally. I'm sure you look amazing

To be fair, you only hear about the rude comments coming from homeless men on FML. Not very accurate to imply that they are like that.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm confusing your comment with the intention of saying that all homeless men are that way, but it comes across that way. Sorry for any confusion.

What, just because he's homeless means he isn't allowed to have some self-respect?

Self-respect, sure. Everyone has their inherent human dignity. But a right to insult someone else just because they're going though a rough time? No.

#6 If you like logic, on the other hand, most comments here are examples of the tu quoque fallacy. To quote Wikipedia: "although the person being attacked might indeed be acting inconsistently or hypocritically, such behavior does not invalidate the position presented". In other words - hobo may have a point.

I would've said "Look who's talking, pal." Just ignore him OP.

Some people just like to hurt others to feel better about themselves.
