In that case, you should feel real good that you helped out a man who was obviously starving (and maybe a bit looney, hard to know from what you have written). Good on ya! In a case like that I may even have been tempted to give him 100. Its the beggars who use the money to buy beer and cigarettes that stop me from giving.

I hope he did not scare your daughter too much but it was a good opportunity to show her how lucky she is that she knows she always has food to eat, whereas that man had nothing.

 

That does sound disgusting, and yet the dogs do it all the time there and people step in it like they don't even look. This country has some maturing to do.

 

It was somewhat scary mate, I am sure he was intellectually handicapped in some way, just the way he reacted was so sudden. He did not speak at all, but it was like watching a starving monkey. My daughter was okay, just shaken, and we explained to her that he had a disability and it was not his fault, but that is what she needs to be aware of with some people who are like that. Just nowadays it is safer to eat inside an establishment than to sit in the open like we use to do.

 

Don't sit with them?
