    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.

      Yeah @mono, it's all taking place in Bk, unfortunately. Just over the last month or so. Really bad interactions with beggars.
