So, I was scolded by a panhandler Saturday night.
Advertisements [?]
I was riding the light rail, and she came up to me and asked for a dollar or some spare change.

I didn't have any dollars, but I gave her all the change I had, which amounted to 16 cents. I said, "Here, this is all I have."

She called me "super-retarded" and then stomped off to ask the rest of the passengers for money. As she asked each one, she complained about me, yet I was the only one who actually gave her money!

I don't know why I'm telling this story, except that it left me feeling guilty for some reason. But it really was all the change I had! I did have a $20, but that's my grocery money for the week!
