I had an encounter today at KFC. I went there to get a light lunch and there was a semi-drunk street hustler being boisterous with the help. He said he was waiting for his ride...He was really being obnoxious so I hurried up and ate my meal. He went outside and was smoking cigarette butts. He came back in and sat down, I decided to leave. I bolted out the door jumped in my truck and locked the doors. He followed me out, and was yelling something as I drove away. I just wanted to get as far away from him as I could as fast as I could...he was nothing but trouble...I was glad I was able to get away from him....He looked like a street gangsta, and I wanted nothing to do with him. I really hate to see this in my usually safe neighborhood.
 
What would you do if a gangsta type guy followed you out of a restaurant ??

He followed me out, and was yelling something as I drove away.

 
Was he saying you left your wallet on the table?

I was working the food line at our church's homeless shelter and my (then) wife says to me "can you deal with those hoodlums over there, they scare me". I went over to talk to them (they were eating their meal). 

Turns out they were the nicest guys there that night. Totally appreciative. A couple were musicians and we had a great conversation about music.

Unless I see attempted physical harm or weapons I tend to not "avoid" people. That's just me.

No I made sure I had my wallet. He either wanted cash or a ride....you know, just a few bucks...I was lucky to get away from him....he was NOT a friendly panhandler....

I always go to KFC with my wife prepared...

Yep it's getting nasty out there. Usually the street thugs, hustlers and panhandlers stay in the downton area, this is something new for our quiet suburb.

I have zero tolerance for street drunks, thugs, gangsters and all round crazies. Where I live in Manhattan there is a bunch of aging layabouts who have stood on the same corner and gotten drunk every single day for the 7 years I've lived here. All they do is bicker, yell, shriek, and sometimes fight. It's a good job my windows have good sound insulation. Every time I open one I hear ".....itch ass motherf**ker you ain't go damn right to...." and "...on of a **** I'm gonna f*** you up you piece of sh..."

I have some of the fights on video. Admittedly, they're hilarious.

I envy them, they have such a simple life, no stress, worries, responsibilities...

Are you kidding? They have no substance to their lives. No ambition. And each day is full of conflict. I could never envy a drunk. They're such sad specimens! 

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ... WHO GOES TO KFC FOR A 'LIGHT' LUNCH?

SORRY FOR CAPS.
