NY'ers, has it just been me or have the beggars in NY come across as super aggressive lately? I know that in the Bay it's different from the e. coast...
One threw his change at me as I walked away (actually engaged with him kindly for a moment and said I didn't have money in my wallet, funny because I wish I did have cash on me at that moment, but I don't often give folks money on the street)
Walking home a moment ago, one guy spit in my path.
- brooklyn? I hardly ever see any homeless in manhattan, and when I do, they don't start shitmonospaced
- If they did that round here they'd get beat the fuck out of. It's cool to beg but you start being entitled and its fair game.********
- The young guy who threw his change at me, I knew something was wrong and had a feeling that I might have to fight him, and reeeeeally did not want to get mybklyndroobeki
- face bruised at any cost.
Yeah @mono, it's all taking place in Bk, unfortunately. Just over the last month or so. Really bad interactions with beggars.bklyndroobeki - don't mess with the former vets, they are good fighterspinkfloyd
- Yep , totally cool to beg,... can't imagine anyone EXPECTING someone to give when theyve got their hand out.bklyndroobeki

- Can imagine how frustrating it might be today when everyone pays via credit/debitbklyndroobeki
