153. when you live in a large city, and see the same people in the same places,
almost every day, asking for money- it wears thin in a hurry.

there was one woman who stood in the middle of the sidewalk everyday, just repeating "change...got any change?" to everyone that walked by.
the first day, i gave her what i had...but it only took a couple of weeks before i was so tired of her routine that after that whenever she asked if i had any change, i'd just shake my pockets so she could hear it jingle, and say "yep, LOTS!" and just keep on walking to my subway stop.
