Picky Homeless People
Ok, so we had our 16th snowstorm of the season last night. Fun fun fun...
So, do plow drivers in Maine wait at the corner of your street, for you to finish shovelling the front of the driveway, so they can come by and dump more snow in the front that you have to shovel away again? Yes, yes they do...In NY I think they got paid extra to do that.
After I got in to work, there was a homeless guy in the stairwell of the parking garage. He said he couldn't walk and asked me to call an ambulance, so I called 911. His name was Robert, I think he slept in the stairwell the night before. The 911 operator asked me the location, and I said it was the garage at monument square between Congress St and Free St...pretty specific location.
"I hope they can find you..." said the dispatcher.
I asked Robert when the last time he ate anything was and he said "A Long Time Ago." So I offered him my yogurt... "I can't eat that" he said.
What? Hell if I hadn't eaten in a while I woulnd't be picky, but the homeless in Portland will only take, Sushi, Buluga Caviar and Foie Gras.
Meanwhile, from his grungy coat he produced a cigarette. I don't know about you, but if I were homeless I wouldn't bum cigarettes off people, I'd be like "hey buddy, got a hot dog?" But maybe thats just me.

i think that's because smoking would only make you skinnier and the hot dog would at least be an attempt to add some wieght to your waif size. even if it was only like 2 grams! LOVE YA!
