She Walked On, and Didn't Look Back
At one point on my way home from work yesterday, I was standing next to a homeless man while waiting for a light to change. There was a girl behind us on her cell phone.
The homeless man asked me if he could have some money for a sandwich. "No, sorry." Sometimes I will give food, but I almost never give money.
The man turned to the other girl. "Excuse me. Do you think you could spare some money so I can get a sandwich?"
She smirked. "I doubt it." The light changed. As I started to cross the street, I heard her on her cell phone saying, "Oh my god this guy just asked me for money ... I KNOW! Can you believe it? Anyway..."
It almost made me go back and give him money, to make up for her.

This is when I really want to believe in Karma
What would it have cost her to at least treat him with dignity?
What a bitch.
At least this homeless person stil has a sense of courtesy.
