Would I offer a Homeless person some coffee?
well, I may not offer him coffee..I would prolly buy him a sandwich though..Prolly.
But given the question, I must use this opportunity to explain something that happenned way back.
There was this alcoholic homeless person who played the guitar.Given the fact that i am musically inclined , I kinda stood there and talked to him and gave him some money after that.
you know what happenned later?
Some days later, he actually followed me and found out my residence..He wanted money badly, I suppose ..gosh..
He waited for me around the time i usually come back home and asked me for money.. gosh !Seriously.It freaked the hell out of me that he knows my home now..whoa.
If such things happen, you start thinking twice before helping them.
The sad part is , many of them have addiction issues, alcohol, drugs and such.. Which prolly is also the primary reason they became homeless and are on the street too.
So given the fact that you are a female , it was a smart move to call 311 so that they could pick him up instead of you directly helping him.
