I'm pretty soft when it comes to giving out change. Generally if people are nice I am pretty nice back. I buy the big issue and it is actually pretty good read compared to other magazines full of crap. There have been times where people do get pretty annoying like a woman asking for people for the BI they bought back a few hours later so she could resell them, fair enough if they are going to waste but when people aren't actually throwing them away and she gets aggressive thats a bit wrong. I also met a homeless guy who told me his dog was addicted to heroin thats why he needed his money for his dogs rehab, I knew it was toss but made me laugh. Its the whole if it was you situation too, and not all homeless people are homeless because of drugs or alcohol either.
