Some pictures and my first and last discussion with a homeless guy

Well, here are a few new pictures I took in Dublin and a story about a new experience I´ve made… ok, I had known it before but anyway I was stupid enough to do it…

I´ve been standing at Eden Quay, waiting for my bus, when a homeless guy tottered towards and spoke to me:

He: “Sorry, I´m homeless. I search for a room. I need 4€ for a room so I can sleep!”
Me: “Well, I don´t know if that´s such a good idea… I think you´d only buy alcohol or so if I give you money…”
He: “Nonononono, I don´t buy alcohol!”
Me: “But you´re drunken!”
He (holding a bottle of coke towards me): “You want some drink?”
Me: “No.”
He: “I´m drunken? No, I´m not drunken!”
Me: “Hey, I´m sorry, but I won´t give you anything, I´m sure you will buy something like this”.

Ok, he left me now but after a few steps he turned around to me and… “FUCK YOU! FUCK OFF!” and something that I didn´t understand… well, I bet it was better so *g*
So he swore at me across the whole street and I vowed never beginning a discussion with a drunken homeless guy again… you cannot win.

Now I always change the side of the street if I see him in the city… maybe he remembers me *g*
