I met the kindest homeless man.

[BIeed]

While I was walking on my way home today I met this homeless man who was from the Caribbeans. We ended up walking and talking for about 30 minutes. I've never gotten so many stares in my life. After bonding with him we ended up talking about life, education, struggle and whatnot. By the time he went to go journey somewhere else in L.A he actually offered ME something at a 7-11. Offered his last two dollars he had in his pocket to buy me a drink. =[. Oh well. Said this to say next time you see a crazy homeless man, talk to him! Ten years on the streets actually gives a person some valuable information.

Now I feel guilty for always ignoring the homeless for the past 17 years. =[

Most of the so-called 'homeless' people I've seen are just smackheads trying to scrape enough change together to buy more heroin.

That's what I thought too. Even after you lie to them that you have no money. They still talk to you. He was drinking a beer when I met him, but that shouldn't someone have at least one item to make them happy? Sometimes the benefit of a stimulant is better than food for a day.

That man was different- most homeless are disgusting drug addicts.

Yeah, no thanks. The last homeless guy I talked to pissed on my shirt.

[biohasard]

He's just trying to get in your pant's...

That's what I've always thought too. I wish I could have a conversation like that. I live in a better side of Tulsa, so I always just end up driving everywhere and I never get to have cool things like that happen to me.

Good job I guess... I don't know.

That could be true if he didn't hit on every girl that passed by. =]

You're a dick for taking his last 2 bucks.

I didn't accept his offer. Also to the guy directly below you, I offered him cash but he wouldn't take it from me.

Alcohol is a depressant, dude. That's pretty cool, but I don't see many homeless people around where I live.

[aSquared94]

If only we could all take some time to do this

[Phobotech]

Downtown Dallas crawls with them, and half of them are incredibly aggressive...no thanks.

[salted-tator-tot]

I like my kidneys right where they're at, thank you very much.

Sounds like a really nice guy. :(

[gibleto]

I've talked to one once unwillingly. He started touching my leg on a bus.

I'm not joking this time guys.

When he got off he said he had to slay some dragons.

[KidneyThief]

Talking to random people in general is cool, people know some interesting things. You just have to be willing to listen.

Lol, your account name fits the thread perfectly, that and salted-tater-tots post.

And its not an alt. Holy shit.

[MrCrawford]

Every so often, I cash in 100$ worth of quarters and put it in a jug. I take a walk downtown and start giving out change.

[SoulPiker]

A hobo just robbed me today.

[Proottalfain]

During the Montreal meet-up, one night, we were coming back from a bar, and in the subway station some weird dude started talking to me about Kurt Kobain. I was drunk and happy, so I discussed with him for like a minute.

It was funny and a bit creepy.

He posted the answer earlier in the thread, I even quoted it in my post.

[EpicFail]

I've met a lot of really nice homeless people in my time, they're surprisingly very kind, I actually want to even offer my house to a couple if I ever have spare rooms when I move out, and live on my own, they need the shelter.
