I was talking with a friend today on the subway. We the train arrived at our station, we got out, took the escalator up towards the exit and reached the heavy door at the entrance of the station. We were talking the whole time, so I wasn't paying much attention to our surroundings. I pushed the entrance door and exited the subway station, my friend following immediately behind me. As I walked past the door, I suddenly felt an object against my right foot, that was lying on the ground.
That's when my train of thought derailed.
What happened next occured in a split second, but I can still see it all in slow motion. I looked down to see what the object was; at the same time, my right foot went to take its next step, as if it had a mind of its own. I was still thinking about my conversation topic, completely oblivious to the outside world at that exact moment. But I knew that something wasn't right.
I heard a metallic *CLINK* noise as my shoe hit the tin can. At the same moment, my eyes saw the bum sitting on the floor, just outside the subway entrance. My eyes turned to the tin can. There were coins flying everywhere on the sidewalk. My face became burgundy red as I realized the horror. I had just kicked the can of a bum outside of the subway station, which he used to collect change from passers-by.

The Mailman: ringing twice, as always 130,474 14
09/20/2005 07:26 AM
I heard a raucous yell coming from the bum, and a loud laugh coming from my friend. My panicked eyes shifted back and forth between the bum and his flying coins. "I'm so sorry", I blurted, as I crouched to grab the can. My friend looked down at me, laughing even louder. People were coming out of the subway station by the dozen. Some of them were running to catch a bus. There I was, three meters away from the subway door, crouched to the floor with a tin can in my hand, starting to collect the poor man's coins off the sidewalk. People were walking around me, avoiding me like they were on an obstacle course. I did not look up but I assume everyone was looking at me. The people sitting on the bus were probably looking at me. The entire world was looking at me. My face was completely red, and my friend was only adding to my embarassment with his laugh.
I grabbed all the coins that I could find within a four-meter radius and put them back in the can. The bum sat still, mumbling, and my friend, who was still laughing, helped me grab the last few coins. I added a five-dollar bill to his total, to make sure that I didn't make him lose any money. I said "I'm sorry" again, without looking at the guy, and started walking away, with my buddy in tow.
It could have been worse. Who knows, I could have kicked the guy in the head.
So, did anything exciting happen to you today?

So, did anything exciting happen to you today?
Yesterday I got my 3rd (and final!) meningococcal vaccine injection. Everyone under 20 in NZ (unless they have some kind of objection) is getting 3, 1 every 6 weeks.
It hasn't hurt as much as the last ones. But it has still given me a dead arm and a very bad reaction. Throwing up all night, innit.
I actually lie when I say it was my 3rd, it was my 4th. You see... I didn't jump away from the needle because I was scared of it, I jumped away because I looked over my shoulder and saw a needle going into my friend's arm. I didn't even realise the needle was in my arm. Well, it wasn't. Not for long. And then the nurse had to put it back in. So now I have a snake bite because the nurse had to "puncture the skin twice".
So with the dizzyness and throwing up all night, today I did nothing. It was awesome.

Serves him right for sitting so close to the damn door.
You should've kicked him in the teeth as soon as he started bitching.
Then pissed in his cup before walking away laughing.
What?

Seems like that vaccine has affected your math skeelz, too.
If Neep gets the hot beef injection once a week for six weeks...
this is going nowhere.

People who beg in Glasgow are the worst in the world I swear, for a start they don't even bother with that whole sitting on the kerb, hunched over with a filthy blanket over their knees, a straggly mongrel under one arm and a cardboard sign that says 'Will Frost dog for money'.
Oh no.
These guys just stand in the street, dressed better than me in their expensive togs, a Starbucks coffee mug in their hand asking for spare change.
Now in my experience if you can afford to buy anything at Starbucks you're richer than me to start with

I can't say that anything has happened to me as interesting as kicking a bum.
So far, my only highlight has been turning in a job application: Under "Interests," I listed "Watching Movies," "Milking Cows," and "Boutros Boutros-Ghali."

Bumming For Dummies

And if the "will work for food" sign isn't working for you like it used to, try sitting just outside the exit door of the local subway. Set your bum's tin can (BTC, see appendix 2) right in the natural path of anyone destracted as they exit the station.
More often than not, said exiter will kick over your BTC and spilling contents (do not exceed $.34 "seed money"). 80% of said exiters will apolgize profusely, pick up your change, and deposit a fiver to boot. The fiver might be turned into a $20 if you practice drooling and shaking (see chapter 30).

I may not be at my most eloquent when vomiting, but I'm sure some people understood me. 3 injections, each one 6 weeks apart. 1 every 6 weeks.
