Was on my was to work and stopped at a bakery this morning. Just as i was walking in, a homeless woman, pretty clearly with addiction issues, stopped -- (edited)

me...

she was sort of rambling like "Excuse me, pardon me, I hate to bother you, but I was hoping that possibly, you might, if you like, could, i really do hate to ...."

I interjected "How could i help you?" (she was never going to stop rambling.) I was thinking, I could easily buy her some food in the bakery i was in front of and about to walk into.

Then she said "well, it would be really great if you could give me *$120*."

i laughed at loud. and said "well, no." Then was turning away and she said "Why not?"

I should have ignored it, but I answered, "because i don't have $120." And she said "Really?"

i walked away.

so, she clearly owes someone $120.
