i had a 'stroke of niceness' and i handed a bum on the street a $25 gift card to a local restaurant.i wasnt looking for a thank you but I thought he would for sure thank me and all that stuff.

to my surprise he yelled at me and threw it on the ground and said, "YOU EXPECT ME TO WALK 5 MILES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION? DONT YOU HAVE ANYTHING CLOSER??!"

is this one of those instances where the bum is in the situation he is in not because he has to be but because he wants to be? it gives him an 'excuse' not to work?
