Strange thing happened to me last night. I get off the bus right in front of my building and some panhandler starts asking me for money; it happens all the time in that area no big deal. But this was different this individual was more aggressive and rambling and walking along side with me talking nonsense about how a I was blessed by the lord and how nice a I was and everything . . but really aggressive demeaner.
Finally I just dig into my pocket to give him some change, to get rid of him, but he was saying that wasn't enough; how he needs paper money to feed his kids yadya yada; and how i couldn't just give him the money I had to go to the store with him and buy it for him. At one point he shook my hand lefty but he didn't let go of it; and had his other hand -- his right one and assuming his good one -- in his pocket like he has holding a gun or knife (which he had his hand in pocket the whole time). At some point I just said: I'm giving you a dollar and going inside. So I get out my wallet and while I was doing that he said he needed $10. I just gave him a dollar and he just quickly walked away and I did also. It was strange more than anything else. He actually didn't seem like a bad person just desperate as all hell. Would you pulled a gun on him?
