Excuse Me Mate

Everytime I walk through town I get stopped by someone.

You can normally avoid the people that just ask for a minute of your time, be it for Jesus or your money. An elbow to the head/face will normally floor them.

But those people that stop you to beg for money never seem to let you get away.

I have had the same guy ask me three times for money, each time he gives a different reason for wanting money. I hate him. The thing about these people is they ask for money nicely, then its the outcome and your life all depend on what you say back and how you say it.

I will give them some credit for imagination and coming up with their LIES about why they need my hard earned cash. But they could be honest......oh wait.

Random Scummer: 'Scuse me mate, I'm not gonna lie. Can you lend me 90p so that I can get a beer?

Ok then, so you lied to me I get that much. But why in the hell would I feed someones drunkeness? I like to get drunk. I like beer, so why would I give my money away to someone else to do what I want to do?

And why in the hell is it always a random amount of money? 10p 26p etc.

Stood at the bus stop the other day and a bloke walked up. He stood there for about 10 mins. As soon as the bus started approaching he turned to me and told me "Hey, I need to get into town, can you lend me £1?" you git. Why did you wait until the bus was coming to decide to ask me. I gave him the pound and avoided him on the bus. Got of my bus and went to the next bus stop to take me to work. The git followed me, and started telling me about all his problems, his wife in the hospital that he was going to visit, his grandad that just died and how he had spent loads of money trying to help him get better. Not sure if this was a stab at getting more money from money but I had gotten sick of him and so turned my pod up and looked away from him.

The other kind of beggar that I hate, is those people that have horrible medical inflictions and show them to you to get money from you. I have given a guy money before cause his arm was cut pretty badly and he needed to get to Nottingham Hospital. Why? Cause he was from there and the Royal wouldn't look at him..........hang on........the lying mother f......... Yes I was fooled. but no more. Plus after seeing pics of those guys in Egypt, they kinda make our guys look like fairies.

I'm waiting for the day when one of these guys gets sick of speaking untruths and says:

"'Scuse me mate, Hi do you have a minute? I live in X city and my car has broken down and my aunts is sick and she needs this medicine, but I have to get the bus.......ah fuck it. I'm mugging you hand over your wallet."
