I went to the nail salon a few weeks ago and I noticed a man sitting in the corner of the parking lot so I decided to donate some money to him. \u00a0He was friendly and thanked me. \u00a0He tried to hold a conversation with me as well. \u00a0However, I was running on a tight schedule that day so our conversation wasn’t very long. \u00a0I went inside the nail salon and was able to sit down at a pedicure station right away. \u00a0About 20 minutes had passed when all of a sudden the homeless man I gave money to earlier, walked into the nail salon that I was in. \u00a0The workers asked why he was there and they seemed startled that a homeless man was walking into their business. \u00a0The homeless man reassured them that he was waiting for the “pretty girl” and pointed at me. \u00a0This made me very uncomfortable and honestly, a little worried. \u00a0The workers didn’t think anything of it and offered him a seat. \u00a0My nails were now done and I went to pay for them. \u00a0The homeless man was nowhere to be seen. \u00a0However, as I was walking to my car I hear a man call out “hey!” \u00a0I looked and it was the homeless man waiting for me. \u00a0He started walking towards me and making small talk again. \u00a0However, he began to ask personal questions like what my last name was and where I was going. \u00a0He even asked for my number. \u00a0At this point I decided to cut him off and get in my car and drive away.<\/p>\n

This entire experience was actually very nerve racking to me. \u00a0Being a female and alone, I didn’t feel very safe talking to this man. \u00a0However, I did give him money and I understand why he wanted to talk (I don’t mind being polite and making a little small talk) but it gave me a negative experience with the homeless. \u00a0It’s somewhat disheartening that these kind of homeless people are the ones who give the homeless communities bad reps but it was something I won’t forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
