Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Haha. This happened to me once, just keep on walking and drop a couple of quarters to keep him occupied while you make an escape.

I offered a homeless man the food I had just bought because he said he needed change to get something to eat. He refused the food. Lol

I understand the need to beg. they understand if you just say no. don't lie when a firm no will do

Perhaps it's good you didn't give it to him, he probably wanted to buy beer or drugs or something. He sounds like a creep x(. Maybe a quarter or two would have been nice though.

I lie to them sometimes, but usually I don't have cash on me. Even if I did have the cash, I probably wouldn't give him any money... But how does he know you didn't charge it to a card or something?

You could have just lied and said you bought the drink with credit. I mean, you already did lie once...

Just say " I have no change", don't look at him, just look forward and keep walking. It works for me everytime. Or just completely ignore his existence.

whether it's a homeless person asking for change or a business person complaining at an airport, when people act like the world/other people owe them something it's damn annoying. sucks, FYL
