I had a young man approach me on the street tonight and ask if he could have the leftovers I was carrying.

I was waiting to cross the road. The conversation went something like this:

Him: Hey, can I have that?

Me: What? No.

Him: Your food, your extra food, can I have it?

Me: No dude, this is mine. 

Him: You’re not going to give your food to a kid on the street? (ed. note: “kid” = 24)

Me: No. No I’m not. 

Luckily the light turned then and I started walking across the road with another woman who had been standing there.

Her: Are you serious? He thought you were going to give him your food?

Me: Right?! What the hell?
