I must have one of those faces.
You know, those gullible, sappy, emotive faces that scream "I am a pushover." Because in Vienna, I keep getting approached by bums who want my spare change.
Not only this, when I decline and say I don't have any, they push and say, "Oh, but you have a bank card? You could go to an ATM and get money out and go buy me groceries."
To which I normally say, "Are you kidding?"
In most cases, they are not, so I have on occasion had to tell them I would call the police if they followed me - one guy did.
Am I being too mean to the beggars? At least I don't leave them dog poop.
P.S. Take my poll to answer the question!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what you think! ------------------>
