We had a panhandler hit us up near our home, which is a little unnerving because the crime rate in our zip code is nil, but there is a Metro stop nearby. There's also a pedestrian tunnel under the metro tracks that takes you from our area to the main shopping drag. I've used it once, wife will not because if there are evildoers there, you are screwed.
This was how he approached us... "You have 50 cents?"
No.
"You goin' in the tunnel?"
Hell no.
