Unbelievalbe cheek though.

Reminds me in around '97 I gave a quarter to a guy who used to hang out near a drugstore in a toney part of SF (presidio heights) holding on to a squeegie, bascially bumming donations. He said 'WTF am I going to do with a quarter?' I said, 'buy part of a sandwich with it.' Dude continued fuming. F the bastid. If every 5th person gave him a quarter, he'd be making $10 an hour just on that. But no, he wants some well healed guilt ridden person to pay him $5 for $2 worth of work, cleaning a windshield.
Precisely........

I now ask them if they need me to call 911 on 'em - if they really need "help......"
