As I was going to my car from the coffee shop this afternoon, this guy came up to me and asked me for money so he could buy "a big box of chicken." It was a bad time to approach me, as I had just spilled tea on myself thirty seconds prior (catching my cd player as it tried to fall to the ground). I gave the guy what change I had, and then he had the gall to ask me for more.
Dammit, I don't like to give money to people period. I worked hard in high school and undergrad to get where I am today, and I sure as fuck didn't do it by asking people on the street for their money. If you want some fucking chicken, get a job and pay for it with your own money like the rest of us. I'll give people money when they ask, because if I don't I get some bizarre guilt about the necessity of charity and shit like that, and there's always that possibility that there's some sort of extenuating circumstance (although then again there are community services *glower*). But that makes me pissed off enough. If you ask me for more, it'll just send me further into my anger.
Arg! God, I hate being a nice person. Too fucking nice. Why can't I just blow people off without feeling guilty about it? I should anyway, it's a lose-lose situation. If I don't give random bums and beggars money, I feel guilty. If I do, I feel pissed off because I'm a sucker. So if I'm going to be in a bad mood either way, I should just blow people off and keep my goddamn money. Course I'd prefer it if I could just walk down fucking street without being bothered by people harassing me for pocket change.
