This thread is to tell us about any unusual encounters with the "un-housed"

I'll go first

Today I was stopped at a red light, while taking a load of scaffolding to a job in downtown Louisville. Just as the light turns green I hear someone yelling "hey", so I look over and see a homeless waiving his arms, looking right at me. Well, the light is green, so I'm not going to hold up traffic to see what he wants, so I proceed to drive away and keep traffic flowing. That triggered the homeless dude... next thing you know, I'm hearing him screaming all kinds of explicit words and literally running after my truck lol.
I'm glad the next light was green, because I didn't want to hurt a bum, as I'm a sherdogger and always have my 9mm on me when I'm in Louisville...

You ever been chased or harassed by crazy homeless people?
 
We got ex ammy boxer turned homeless crackhead that can be seen shadowboxing/doing pull ups/causing mayhem on street once in a while, apperantly still hits hard since his brain is fried but has punching in muscle memory. Word around block is he has kod ammy MT guy in street fight
 
Had words with one in Cambride (UK) on saturday morning went to fish out some change for him he asked for a "small note"I got out my wallet to give him £5 he saw I had £20's on me and wanted one of them accused me of being "fucking tight" for not giving him one so I told him the deal was off , I wasn't angry or anything I just couldn't believe the cheek of the cunt .
 
had quiet a few ask me for a smoke, told them I dont smoke (which is true), they then go on to yell abuse. If they ever went to far I always got my back up a little bit and they shit them self (one time literally shit his pants) and run off, I think the abuse piece is a way to scare people into giving them stuff.

I have very little sympathy for the homeless anymore most are just lazy drug abusers from my experience.
 
I work in downtown Portland directly with the homeless every week

I have seen quite a few things

Addiction, assault, overdoses, fights, bowel movements, homeless honeys hitting on me…

It’s all bad but necessary work
 
I work in DC when I am not teleworking. There are a decent amount of homeless people, but they mostly keep to themselves if you don't make eye contact. If you make eye contact they will ask for money, but most of them are not aggressive and you can just walk past them.

One time as I was walking from work to the train station and a homeless person on a bicycle spotted me from across the street and peddled after me to hit me up for money. It was around 4:00 and this was several blocks away from the touristy areas that most of them panhandle in because of the increased numbers of people to potentially get money off of. He was just super persistent and said he needed money for HIV medicine.
 
Once at a crosswalk, a bum asked for something and I ignored him and he promptly called me an asshole. I think on another day this same bum saw a tourist family where the dad was eating something and the bum asked for some and rightfully got ignored.

The other day, I was gonna park further to the fence where there were more empty spaces, but changed my mind not wanting to be closer to the bum lying there. If he wants to fook with my car, he'll have to walk a further distance to do it.

Another day, drove past what looked like a woman bum maybe 20s or 30s topless with good sized natural boobs. Didn't get a good look or turn around for another pass.

Are we talking honey as in a woman that has consumed so much honey her teeth have rotted away and she's fat with diabetes.......
 
I don’t know about this new generation of homeless people but I have had the chance to make contact with many homeless people when I was younger.

Back when I was a teen my friends and I would be out around the city most of the time around 1am-3am looking for things to tag up.

We would constantly run into homeless people around that time, they were usually pretty chill because that was some of their peak hours. Most were really chill with us because we were kids and we would get them stoned and they would tell us their life stories or where not to go.

We used to give them a few $$$ if they would let us tag up their backpacks or whatever they had because we looked at it as advertisement. They would walk around town with our stickers and tags all over whatever they were carrying.

There used to be this old lady, probably in her late 50s or early 60s that would come out at around 2am and would rollerblade around downtown completely naked except for the rollerblades. She was a nice lady, very happy and just enjoyed skating around.

Now that I think about it, with all of the drugs. I bet that old 60 year old lady was really only like 30 years old…
 
They are plentiful, and had many funny run-ins with them over the years.

One time when I worked at a gas station, this old black guy was telling me about his time in the military. He was stationed in South Korea and said they ate dog. I was young and like gtfoh. He said they do. They call it Po'doggy. I then laughed and told him to shut up and get out of here. Jokingly, of course. They would do some of the work I was supposed to do for cheap. Well, years later I found out, or I believe he was trying to say bulgogi, which is a type of South Korean meat dish. I think about that night every year or so and wonder if he is still alive. Probably not, but he was a nice fella.
 
There were quite a few brazen cunts in Ealing.

They probably weren't homeless, either drunks or scammers.

- One ambushed me and my ex on our first date when we were kissing in the middle of Ealing Broadway station. I gave him a tenner to get rid of him.

- One was an old man who approached me as I got odd the Heathrow Express said that he was "omeless", showed me an NHS patient card and started crying. I gave him something, can't remember what, then went on my way. Saw him a few days later, he asked me for thirty pound. I said no, he asked how much I can spare, so I bought him a meal deal from Sainsburys. He kissed me on the cheek. I saw him once after that, same place, but I ignored him.

- I was sitting on the Heathrow Express when a young, about six foot lad, came up to me, said that his Dad was an alcoholic who kicked him out, and that he would have a place provided for him the following Monday, but needed money until then. I gave him a fiver. A few weeks later? He sat opposite me, asked bluntly for money, I said no and he left. When I got odd at Ealing Broadway station, I saw him get off the carriage behind me, walk adjacent to another lad and give him money.

Outside Covent Garden station, I had something stuffed into my hand. I looked at it, a little rolled tin foil cone with a red paper flower-like thing. Some blonde, rough looking woman goes "50p" and put her hand out. Stupidly, I paid, went on my way and then got angry as the surprise wore off.

I was struggling for money myself. Honestly, living in London hardened me. "No" is my default now.

I work on the Vegas Strip so I deal with them quite a bit. Their newest thing is they steal the electric hand dryers off the bathroom wall in the public restrooms. Just rip it off the wall and walk out. I'm not sure if it's for the copper or what.

We are constantly replacing landscape lighting because they rip up the copper wiring and steal the fixtures.

They love our banquet areas. Huge spaces with lots of hiding places and no one really up there with expensive AV equipment laying around. They are like ticks.
 
I was in San Francisco this past Saturday. If anything there was less homeless people on the streets than what I usually see, but then again I didn't go to Union Square/Market/Tenderloin area and it was during the day. I've been to SF a lot and I never had any noteworthy encounters with the homeless. Heck 15-20 years ago I use to park my car in the tenderloin district because there was a lot of free parking or cheap lots in the area. Never had my car broken into and never had issues even once. We are going again this coming Saturday. We are starting to enjoy going back to the city again. It's not as crazy crowded as it use to be and even though many stores/shops have closed down it's not like I shop at most of those places anyways.

Growing up in Hawaii (Oahu) though I had tons of encounters with the homeless. One of my best friends during childhood and college years has been homeless in Hawaii for over a decade now. I think he was incarcerated for a while though, but recently over the past year I've had family/friends tell me they have seen him a few times so he must have recently gotten released. It's sad and I'm sure he has some pretty bad mental illness now.

Edit: Here's a photo my cousin took of my friend about a year ago...:(

Not me but I was leaving a Chris Cornell concert in downtown San Francisco and this homeless guy was sitting outside the exit asking for money. He asked the two guys in front of me and they ignored him. It triggered the homeless guy and he got furious and chased them down the street, I'm not sure what ended up happening.

Another time that was me. My girl and I, and another couple took the BART train to the A's game. On the way home around 10 PM we were the only people on our train. The other couple was asleep on the aisle across from us and my girl was asleep next to me. (I'm the only one awake) These two young guys came onto our train and asked me for money. I said I don't have cash. One of them said oh you can afford that jersey but you can't give us money. It was a brand new jersey but I had bought it from a friend for $20 because his ex gave it to him and he didn't want it. Luckily the two guys kept going on to the next train.

One time I closed the bar down (busy night) but the front door was still unlocked because people were leaving. This homeless dude came in and shit all over the bathroom. The floor, the wall, and toilet. It smelled so bad that I was standing at the back door gagging. The bar owner was mopping it with bleach and lighting matches to kill the smell.

Are there still armed security guards patrolling Pier 39?
