Stealing from the Homeless
I was walking with my BART buddy from work today. The steel drums guy is playing and some dude who looks like he's on crack is dancing right in the middle of the walkway.
As we're passing by, my friend stops to pick up a quarter that is in the dirt off to the side of the walkway. I personally wouldn't consider picking anything up off the ground in a BART station, short of that 20 dollar ticket I found on the ground once.
As we're walking away I hear 'Hey! Hey! Hey!' behind me, Apparently the dancing crackhead saw my buddy stop to pick up the coin and wanted to lay claim to it. In my usual fashion I ditched my friend to let him sort it out... heh
The crackhead got his quarter.
**UPDATE: MY FRIEND INFORMS ME IT WAS A NICKEL, NOT A QUARTER***

Oh I'm serious. Working at the Tenderloin/Civc Center stop has its... amusements.
Maybe that's why I never notice the same horrible stench everyone else seems to, and how I can mistake someone for a fine upstanding member of society when they are actually begging for breakfast in holey sweat pants.
I should start a homeless photo gallery.

This has got to be the best
This has got to be the best yet. He gives up the quarter? You're friend must be related to Job. No one would do that. Find money and then give it to someone who stakes claim on it unless they were in biblical times or something. It was nice. I'm proud of the friend though. Thinking less of self and more of the commoner. LOL.

i would have thrown the quarter into the steel drum guy's tip jar and sprinted to the paid area as quickly as possible, waving my middle finger violently in the air the whole way.

IF I had picked it up in the first place, I would have pitched it as hard as I could up the stairs and run the other direction.

I think he was thinking more of not getting pummeled by a crackhead over a quarter...
