From time to time I see panhandlers in front of the Hunter GO station. Today someone asked if I had spare change for coffee, asked someone else and then asked me again 10 seconds later thinking I was a different person.
Usually it's some bullshit story about having to get home to (insert city name here) and not having enough money for a bus/train ticket. Apparently some of them have been trying for a long time since I see the same people with the same story weeks later.
I still deal with more panhandlers, bums, junkies and freaks in my 10 minute walk to the office from Union Station in Toronto every day than I do in a month in Hamilton.
