RE: Do I Look Homeless?

in #shopping3 years ago (edited)

!LOL This is very funny, i was homeless for many years in my younger days in London and you may find it was not because she thought you was homeless.

It may have been she genuinely liked your dog or she could have been a guilt giver.

People are strange and in London theres a lot of things going on parallel living.

When i was homeless you would get your normal no ways or abuse, normal drops small change up to a £5, big drops between £10 - £100, angel drops £100 plus and guilt givers could be anything.

Guilt givers are people that get surprised income but feel like they don't deserve or earned it so they give it away with any excuse.

But also she could have thought you was homeless it's London 🤣

Thanks for sharing on Listnerds @dd01a

Hi Ben, thank you for sharing your experience! Woah, "angel drops £100 plus"? I like the sound of "guilt giver", I see what you mean, Ben.

My best friend to this date, was homeless in the early '90s, and she used to tell me that her secret weapon was her puppy. She was always getting banknotes ("This is not for you, it's for your little doggie!") while her other gang members were getting coins.

Thanks for your comment, and thank you so much for the tokens!😊

You are welcome buddy, yes angel drops were rare but happened ocassionally , interesting your friend was homeless around the same time as me then i believe.

Yes being a woman and having a dog would have been a smart move back then for sure that is a good combo for earning on the street.

Guilt givers were everywhere in all kinds of form, i remember one time helping a friend get her ring out of a garbage bin because it had fallen in there by accident when she was throwing something away.

Someone had been watching from nearby offices and thought i was looking for food and then came down said he had a bonus at work and would like me to have it was £30.

There was a lot of strange incidents like that, i am sure your friend has many stories.

Have the best day Ray😎
