More than a few times downtown I've seen this guy at the bus station who rolls around in his wheelchair, blanket over his lap, no legs visible, and begs for "anything you can afford..." And, since I wait longer than him most of the time, I see him leave. But when this guy leaves, he doesn't wait for the bus driver to open up the wheelchair lift, he doesn't try rise gingerly as if expecting tremedous strain on his tired body, he jumps up out of the chair, stretches his legs, folds up the chair, and gets on the bus.
My first thought after seeing this guy's act was, "What the hell? That's maybe one of most underhanded and dirty things I've seen in a while."
Then, I realized that I'd given him five bucks... Jerk.
