He did not appear homeless to me, just old and smokey

Clothes were decent

Even had a trimmed mustache

Did not get homeless vibes from him - got a vibe he woke up or didn't sleep cause his addiction overcame him so bad he had to throw himself in front of cars to get that sweet sweet nicotine drag

I was at subway and a level 5 homeless man came in wearing a carpet or something and said he was so hungry, give me money for food.

I was like "I'll buy you food"

They had cheap sandwich special or something

He was like "Can I please just have the money?"

I said "You can have a sandwich"

He said "I'll buy my own sandwich if you could please be so kind"

I said "I'll buy you the sandwich, you'll still end up with a sandwich"

He said no thanks and left

Yeah he wanted a sandwich right bad - drugs

Every morning when I'm too lazy to walk to work I go for little drives around the city to warm up for the day. I'm an early bird so this happened at 5:40 in the morning today.

There's different parts of town but this didn't happen in the bad part of town, really unexpected encounter.

Driving along and some old guy starts to cross the street. Ok, I slow down, he slows down. He full on stops in front of my car while I'm stopped and looks at me. Just looks at me. Deer in the headlights. So I try to drive around him ... he moves about to stay in front of me so I can't drive forward. WTF -- stand off in the middle of the street

Then he comes to my driver side. I roll down the window to see what was so important he risked getting run over to talk to me. Expecting he needed a lift or .. something.

"Got a cigarette?"

LOL

I'm chuckled and was like "No I don't smoke."

His next line:

"Why not?"

LMAO! Full on laughing in his face at this point. I said "Sorry buddy I just never smoked" and drove off.

I've seen people hard up for smokes before but this is some NEXT LEVEL shit. Jumping out in front of cars on the street for smokes bro, what's up.

Dude is just basically panhandling and being a dick about it. He knows that blocking traffic and walking up to people's window like that is a big no, no, if he doesn't want to freak people out or possibly get himself hurt.

But, yea it's usually crazy people out at those late late night or early times.

There are signs up everywhere at cross walks, including those with lights, that say "Yield: Pedestrians Have Right Of Way".

Does it really matter if you have the right of way if you get hit and killed? I remember an Archie comic book cover from the 60s. Reggie and Jughead are in a rowboat and there's this huge bow of a ship about to hit them. Jughead is holding a book of rules of the sea and saying, "Don't worry. According to this we have the right of way".
 
I didn't realize there are Canadians that don't smoke but it's been 20 years since I've been in Canada.
 
You're lucky you didn't get stabbed. I would suggest not rolling down your window and driving away at the first opportunity in the future

Apart from a couple of meth heads here who are just weirdos, they're reasonably nice here. I was in NY just before Christmas though and they were trying to march me to the store with my credit card when I said I didn't have any cash. Talk about fucking entitled. One guy in Sacramento in a wheelchair came up to me with vomit in his beard asking me for a cigarette and I had to run off and find a toilet to throw up in.

I posted a similar story in the Sports Bar about a beggar. Dude claimed to be hungry, offered him food, gets pissed and storms off. I always see him pulling the same routine around downtown.

You'll have to ask someone who gives a shit.
 
If it had been me a few years ago I would have offered him a big pinch of skoal lol. But I don’t do that stuff anymore.

How come your life is never boring? You should write a book about your life. And call it the "The Most Fascinating Man in The World".
