Every Tuesday, I walk down to the downtown farmer's market to stock up on my weeks supply of veggies. I usually meet up with my friend Erika and we grab lunch at the awesome Laotian place that has a stand there. Tuesday is also laundry day, so I throw on what ever is handy and off I go. It's not like I have anyone to impress, I'm just getting vegetables, so today I'm wearing a pair of old cut-off desert BDUs and a Bundeswehr wife beater, with a matching pair of tevas. Fashionable? No, but I have to work this afternoon, so it's not like I'll be wearing it all day, and it's good enough to go to the farmer's market.

There is a three tier plaza next to the market, so I sit dow on the edge of the first tier, set my coffee between my feet, put on my iPod and settle in to wait for Erika, who is always late. Two ladies walk by, dressed in business attire, and one of them stops and drops fifty cents into my coffee. I say "Thanks lady, another buck twenty-five, I'll be able to get another cup".

The other lady, the not so charitable one, starts railing at me about how ungrateful I am, and if I'm going to sit and panhandle, the least I could do is be appreciative of what I get. So I say "I'm not a panhandler, you ignorant git. Do you want it back?" and dump my coffee in the grass, fish out the two bits, holding it out to her. Now they both look a tad bit embarrassed, realizing that they are a pair of jackasses, and scurry on their way.

Erika shows up right at the tail end of this and asks what the hell that was all about, so I tell her the story. She starts laughing and says "It was funny when it happened on Seinfeld, and it's funnier when it happens to you". I disagree. It was a good cup of coffee.

Good story. Oh, and sorry about the coffee, but now you have a pretty nifty story to tell

Why in the world would a bum be using an iPod? :?

That is a really funny story.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. And a pair of two hundred dollar Maui Jim's at that.

[kmkkid]

Hrm, dunno bout where you live, but the bums in Toronto tend to use empty coffee cups....

I would have freaked on those bitches!

[budster101]

Great story. The nerve of some people to assume anything about others.
You should still be banned from that place though... It's not who throws the first punch but who throws the second.

Just kidding.

I'm enjoying a cup of Dunkin' Donuts' coffee right now. Mm-mm-good.
They know me so well at ths D-D, that I just order by number.

Medium 72 & 54. 7 creams 2 sugars / 5 creams 4 sugars.

You know you are addicted to DD when you can locate every store in a 10 mile radius.

[jokell82]

Who puts coins in a full coffee cup?

[Demonhood]

i saw a bum with a laptop a few weeks ago. my friend's reaction: "Damn. I'm not giving him any change."

Well, there was only about a quarter of the cup left, so if you weren't standing right over top of it, it probably looked empty, but still.

A good cup of coffee is good till the end. A crime that is. A CRIME.

Well, could have been worse. I'd probably kill them if they dropped a coin in my beer

That's right. Unless we're talking American beer. Than I'd consider it an upgrade

I'd pay a beer to hear a story like that.

[suvsr4terrorists]

I bought a pregnancy test at walgreen's once. Sure enough, it rang up wrong, so they had to advertise it over the PA to check the price. Ugh.

[Uncle Skeleton]

when did that happen on Seinfeld? It's kind of similar to a scene from The City of New York vs Homer Simpson, but I don't remember anything like that on Seinfeld

[wdlove]

I'm sorry about the coffee also. In time you will find it funny too.
