Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I am a poor working class guy that lives in a poor working class neighborhood. And it over the last 8 or so years has become overrun with homeless people. There are people pan handling at every light, in front of every convenience store and liquor store. I never have cash on me and I am pretty damn poor myself. I don't have much to give away. But they have started to become very pushy.

They will ask you if you have spare change, you will say sorry you don't have any cash, they will say, well can you buy me some food and you will say you can't afford it and they will keep going with well it is only a dollar and keep pushing until someone else shows up for them to ask.

So this morning I was late for work and was rushing into 7-11 for my morning coffee. A homeless person asks for change and instead of engaging and having spend the time to reject him 50 times I just ignore him and keep walking. So he follows me and says, "Please, I am just asking for a little help" and I keep walking. I go inside and he rushes infront of me and tells me off. Something along the lines of, "How can you ignore another human being? You could at least just tell me know. I am homeless but I am still a person, you are such a fucking asshole!"

I respond with, "Dude, I got nothing for you, I am in a hurry to get to work, get the fuck out of my face!" and I push past him. I ended up getting so many dirty ass looks that I just left without my coffee.

So am I an asshole for ignoring the homeless guy?
