This homeless looking guy stands in front of the door and says, "Hey can you give a dollar?" I looked him over quick and he seemed like he had all his arms and legs. He was probably younger than me by a few years. I'm 34. He was dirty and in need of a pressure wash when it gets a little warmer. But, I told him, "Nope." I'm sick of these guys always asking people for money outside of stores and on the sidewalk, at traffic lights. I tried to walk around him to get into the coffee shop. So, he says, "Hey can you give me something, then, there Chief?" I said, "OK. I'll give you some advice. Get a can of shoe polish, a rag, and a brush and make yourself some money." His eyes got big and he said to me, " Fuck You, Man." And I said, " Hey, don't talk like that." And I added, " My Mom wouldn't like you talking to her son like that." So he said, ' Well, fuck your mom." I really hate that kind of talk. I took half a step back and snapkicked him in the nuts. He barked out a, "AAARGH," and dropped to the sidewalk, fully blocking the doorway. Now, I couldn't a cup of coffee and a muffin without dragging him away from the door and he was filthy dirty. So, I skipped it and went to work without. I probably saved about 500 calories by skipping the coffee with the half and half, plus the bran muffin.

She had seen me come into that fast food joint a couple of times a week for months and she had noticed I was rapidly gaining weight. I think we spend a lot of time caring about peoples feelings instead of caring about people. I truly wish more people were able to show a genuine interest in other people's well being as I feel she was doing when she made the comment. I'm not advocating blatant crudeness with malicious intent. I think it comes down to intent – I believe the cashier was actually speaking out of concern.

" It was very funny, partly because I can relate so much; especially the "sitting in a booth" comments. But seriously, The truth is, I DO NOT wish more people were like that cashier. What appeared rude at first glance, was actually very RUDE. We gain opportunity to speak into people's lives because we first deposit love and care and friendship and true concern for them. A person that doesn't even know my name is nothing but RUDE and out of line for making comments (true or not) like that. Just like John Thomas, I think it's rude for people not to acknowledge an act of kindness or politeness. I would NOT however, grab, punch, slap, or detain them. I would (and often do), make comments like "You're Welcome", which sometimes gets a response of "Thank You", and sometimes not. When people do bad things, and something good comes out of the circumstance, it doesn't make what they did right. Keep up the blogging, it makes for good reading! You have a natural talent for this. Being old school like I am, I always want to end my comments with "Dad" or "Dale" or whoever I am to the person I'm commenting to; but in reading all the replys, I guess that's not appropriate! Maybe because the comment starts out with "nonrevking says:" (or whoever). It's just like phone conversations never end in "Good Bye" anymore...you just hang up...sometimes that confuses us older people!
