Everyday scummy behaviour

Recommended Posts

I was busking once years ago and a local jake tried to tap a fag off me. I hadn't been into mccolls yet so had none, but told him to ask next time he passed. Later on as he went by I offered him cigarette. "sawright a fun a dowt" came the reply as he proudly showed off the 2cm of someone else's fag he had picked off the ground and sparked

People who aren't homeless, asking for money.  I remember walking past McDonalds in Inverness a few years back and some neddy guy stood outside said 'Here mate, can I have a pound for a burger?'

No you certainly cannot.

One guy once asked me for 60p for a bottle of Buckfast at the old Dunfermline bus station. His pitch was admirably honest (he just said he wasn't going to lie and was a bit short for it) so I gave him it. Used to regularly get jakies saying they were short for the bus home with an added sob story of why they needed to get home. They always got nothing.

There's an auld guy who seems to sit on Union St in Glasgow who always asks for money. I gave him £1 one day and he never even said thank you. I was fucking livid. Needless to say, the alcy b*****d gets blanked now.

Today I witnessed a guy begging on the street using the tactic of shouting “SELFISH c***s” at everyone who walked by him. A bold strategy, I wonder how it worked out for him and how many people thought to themselves “I am a selfish c**t” and turned back to hand him some cash.

I had a similar experience recently where the guy was yelling "OH, RIGHT I SUPPOSE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HUNGRY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE YOU SELFISH CANT!" at anyone who didn't deliver.

It didn't help his case that he looked like he'd already scoffed all the pies.

Couple of weeks ago a guy asked for £3. Thought it was a bit of a random amount. Gave him a fiver.

Sounds a bit like the guy who sits near the top of Buchanan Street. Very confrontational, seen him bawling abuse at passers by. He often has signs like "I'm not a junkie" while gargling Buckfast. He wraps himself in a St Andrews Cross, except when Celtic are at home, it's an Irish Tricolour. The general abuse is constant though.

When there is a bag of sweets to be shared by multiple people (Skittles are a fine example of this), and somebody decides that it is acceptable behavior to leave one sweet left,  as to save them the effort of putting the rubbish in the bin!!

Foolishly I gave a guy who begs outside my homeless b and b £3 as I felt generous that day, only to find out he stays in my b & b. Free digs, breakfast every morning and he is still out scrounging off the working man.

Man can not live on bread (and butter, sausage, bacon, black pudding, fried egg and tomato) alone.
