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.

sucks that he yelled at you, but i never give money to homeless people... i work hard for my money, and when I have extra, I give to legitimate charities. Good for you for not handing out cash to people... you never know what they'll do with it...

Giving money to a charity that will help the homeless is a very good idea. That also eliminates the problem of a few peopke spending the money on drugs or alcohol. Charities will buy food or help them in other ways.

What's with all the idiots here saying to spare a dollar? You're not obligated to give your money to homeless people. It's not selfish. If you live in a large city it can be filled with homeless people, you can't give them all money, a lot of them would spend on drugs or something anyway. If you really want to do something for a homeless person, give them food.

You don't owe him anything. This isn't to say that homeless people are all bums, but clearly that guy was unhinged.

You should have told him you would call the cops.

58: Giving him cash does not equate his life. Chances are he'll use it for drugs anyway. So yes, I would say I value coffee more than a bum getting high or drunk. I would've done the same, OP. He deserves nothing from me. I work for my money, he should too.
