Miscellaneous: Today, while I was walking downtown a homeless person asked me...

Today, while I was walking downtown a homeless person asked me for a dollar. I thought it would be funny to wave the dollar in his face and taunt him. I guess he thought it would be funny to stab me in the leg with a pencil. FML

Today, I was at the park when I saw a homeless man sleeping on a bench. I thought it would be funny to throw a small rock at him. He thought it would be funny to pull out his knife and chase me for six blocks. FML

Today, I saw a homeless man on the street and decided to give him the dollar bill I had left in my wallet. He said "Thank you" then as I turned to walk away, he muttered "Cheap-ass cunt". FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML

Today, while walking down the street, a homeless man walked up to me. He opened his mouth to say something and I immediately said that I didn't have any spare change because I was late for work. He then said "I was gonna ask you for the time, dickwad". Apparently he wasn't homeless. FML

Today, I passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. FML

Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML

Today, I was sitting in the park eating a sandwich, when a homeless guy asked me for some spare change. I said I didn't have any. He offered an "erotic striptease" in exchange for my sandwich. I said no. He gave one anyway. I walked back to work on an empty stomach. FML

You are a pompous bastard. You deserved a knife, not a pencil.

Too bad pencils are made with graffite, not lead, because then that would have been even more funnier. Usually i hate it when people hate on the OP but seriously, would it hurt to show that you have SOME heart? It's a dollar, just give it to the homeless. You completely deserved that, i mean, just imagine if you had lost everything you had and ended up on the streets, forced to beg for money in order to get by day by day. I'm pretty sure you wouldnt appreciate it if someone wealthier then you taunted you with money. You're a total dick and deserved much more then just a stab with a pencil.

Although your heart is in the right place, it's directed at the wrong group of people. While yes some homeless people really have nowhere else to go, some aren't actually homeless. It's common in Toronto for one to see teenagers begging for money with signs and such, but actually they're from the suburbs and are not poor or anything; they take the train (with or without paying; I've seen some kicked off for not), find a spot on the street and sit with their sign for a period of time (some go home every day, some stay they whole summer). Then there's also the real homeless that have been put on the street due to drug related problems. There's always the possibility that they're going to go buy more drugs with any money they make, so it's not a good thing to give them change. If you really want to help them, buy them food; McD's, Subway, etc. anything not too expensive.

OP, really, don't listen to these idiots. I think I'd have found that to be hilarious. Yeah, you deserved it, but still. I'm tired of everyone boo-hooing for homeless people like they just suddenly ended up that way. Maybe some did, yeah, but the majority? Oh and also, maybe those homeless ***** should do something about it. Just maybe.

I saw a bunch of homeless people lying in front of the drug store earlier today. I realized, there but for the grace of God go I. It could happen to anyone, and they deserve our respect and compassion. Then I peed on them.

Thats a dick move on your part. You got what you deserved. Karma. Homeless people have feelings too, your guy just used his 'angry' feeling. YDI x10.

Wow asshole. If you're not going to give him money, just say no when he asks you for it, don't wave it in front of him like you would a bone to a dog. Thats just cruel. You definitely deserved it.

Calm down. It's also not possible anymore. Pencils are made with graphite for safety. =x Still, the OP should become a speed bump for us. He'd be more useful to society that way.
