#1 Playing guitar that is hopelessly out of tune: ” Hey you got a dollar?”
Me: ”No sorry” (true)
”That's ok some people ha ha ha ha you know it's all good.”
Hands me a dollar (!!) from his dirty pocket.
”That's a tip you know what a tip is? You speak English?”
I nod, take the dollar.
”That's what we call a tip in English. I thought you might ha ha ”
Keeps playing.
#2 Same person, different day about a week later playing same guitar, nods in recognition to me.
”Ha ha some peoples got troubles ha ha you can't complain because ha ha
#3 Scruffy young guy with bushy beard and mustache: ”I'm a full grown man,not a boy white boy.”
I ignore him, I'm not even sure it's directed at me.
He catches my eye and says, ”You've never had to feel fear eh?”
I smile brightly, cheerfully and ask, ”Why?”
He frowns, says, ”Have a nice day sir.”
I smile cheerfully as possible, ”Thanks!”
