gemini, those kids are ALL over soho… they buy candy in bulk from bulk stores then sell them for pretty jacked up prices actually. i guess they do make money cuz they are always doing it. most of the time they wont even lie saying it’s for a sports team or something. i guess it’s legit and that’s cool, but they get a little too aggressive. i do not like when someone puts their hand on me on the street to sell something.

the scrubs who i think are truly the worst are just as pushy, even MORE pushy. are the ones who try to sell their music on cds.. yeah right most of the time it’s just some obscure crap they downloaded and made copies onto cds for. but they are aggressive and in your face and i think that crosses the line, but i guess maybe they get some fools to buy them.

If I panhandle with that outfit on how much do you think I can get?

oh i agree. im too proud to ever panhandle now even if i had too (and sometimes i really do!) but im pretty resourceful and there’s always a way to make a few dollars before payday when you really need to without begging.

and yeah, i wouldnt give any able bodies person in their teens or 20s money either. unless they had some kind of article or clothing or item i wanted id ask for that in exchange for money, but most likely they wouldnt.

I’ve given money to talented people before.

I would pay good money for someone NOT to take a dump on the train – not always easy to switch cars.

I recently witnessed break dancers on the 4 or 5 miss their mark and hit a passenger (and scare the hell out of this woman’s little dog).

DeLepp, that’s hysterical!
