I Hate That Guy

You may have seen this guy who walks around the 7-11/Towson Commons area all day long asking for money. He’s sort of a chunky black guy; looks about 17. I didn’t call him a bum, or a homeless man, or a beggar; and for good reason. He’s just a normal dude. Hell, half the time he’s wearing nicer clothes than I am. Sometimes he’ll make up a lame excuse like he needs to catch the bus or buy cigarettes, but more often than not his sales pitch is “Yo, you got a dolla?” A lot of the time he’ll yell that at people from across the street or down the block. He’s out there EVERY SINGLE DAY. I live right next to his corner, so he asks me for money about 4 times a week. One time he asked me as I was on my way somewhere. “Yo you got a dolla?” I told him no, of course. I walked past him again on my way back two minutes later and he was in the middle of harassing someone else, so I thought I was going to get a free pass. That and I didn’t think he’d be stupid enough to ask me twice in a row. Wrong.
 
“Yo you got two dollas?”

“No.”

“You got a dolla?”
 
Are you serious? I want to stab this guy in the eyeball.
