Annoyed

As I was walking downtown today to pick up a few items I needed at a store I was stopped by a homeless man.

List of Characters:
HM (Homeless man)
Me (Me, obviously)


HM: *approaches* "Do you have any change"
Me: "No I'm sorry I don't have any *scoots away*
Me: *walks the next block after waiting for the light*
HM: *slides up to me and begins to get quite loud and mumbles his words* "I said, do you have any change?"
Me: *said firmer and a bit annoyed* "No, I told you before I do not have any change, I'm sorry."
HM: "Why won't you give me any money?  *mumble mumble loud rude*
Me: "I don't have anything to give you and I don't want to"
HM: *creeps over and is almost breathing down my next and is by my side*
Me: "Sir, you need to back away from me RIGHT this instance."
Me: *maneuvers backwards away from the sidewalk standing in front of a couple that were waiting as well* 
HM: *backs a bit away from me and starts harassing the couple behind me*
Me: *shoots a thankful look to the couple and BOLTS across the street and walk/runs to the store*


I did my shopping, came home and then ate and entire bag of hot fries and drank a glass of Pepsi to calm my nerves. :/

most people relax with ice cream, chocolate, or a beer. hot fries and a pepsi is kinda funny...since you're wondering why i'm laughing
