    The common routine is they come up and try to shake your hand. Then they say something innocuous to pretend like they really want to have a conversation with you. Then they ask for money. Just ask for it to start with...I might give it to you, but the charade is too insincere.

    There's also the story about how they just need bus fare, or just got out of prison and need their first ride home. I've been asked for this. We want a friendly society, but how am I supposed to respond to a perfect stranger who tells me they just got out of prison and want a ride home? Can you at least tell me the charge? Oh, you killed someone in a car huh?
    Doesn't sound mean at all. I too consider such people to be a nuisance.

    I visited New Orleans one time and I was walking down Bourbon Street. A guy comes up to me and says, "will you give me a dollar if I can tell you where you got your shoes?" I said okay and he said, "you got your shoes on your feet on Bourbon Street."

    Option One: Explain to him "You see I thought you meant where I BOUGHT my shoes which just happens to be a little mom and pop store in Ft. Lauderdale. You would have never guessed that. What you said is where I HAVE my shoes which is a much easier question. "

    Option Two: Give him a dollar and get the fuck out of there.

    I chose option two.

    I try to be considerate toward the homeless memorizing where I see Help Wanted signs. Their signs usually say something like "Will Work For Food" so I'm respectful assuming they are honest now connecting two cooperative parties.

    The over use of the word like! My goodness, can't people express themselves without saying like five times or more in a single sentence? "He was like, going to come over and like give me some help, but I like couldn't meet him then, so like I said like, maybe tomorrow might be better, but then he like said, like I can't because like I need to work tomorrow, but like maybe later in the day like....
    Drives me fucking batty. I work with a 19 year old guy that does this and I want to ring his neck after the third "like" in his first sentence.

    Another expression similar to that is, "You know what I mean".

    Another one, is when people start a sentence with "Yea, no".... Which is it, yes or no? "Yea no, I know what you mean". "Yea no, I meant to do it yesterday"... Etc. What the fuck?

    How bout when people start off by saying "needless to say"
    It always means they're about to unload a pile of crap.
    If it's needless ,then why say it ?

    People at the gym that do not put the weights back after they're done using them... and those that sweat like pigs, stand off and leave the whatever machine all sweaty.
