PETA needs to make that their next campaign: I’d rather be homeless and dig through trash than eat meat.

Actually, I think that if you’re sitting begging, and someone gives you food – whether it’s your preference or not – the least you could do would be appreciative and say thank you.

For goodness sake, you’re begging. Begging means asking for charity. You weren’t offered a menu, you were just given the food. If the choice is not having it or having it, then you should take it and say thanks.

And if the person makes a habit of doing it every day – then you might say every so nicely – “I really appreciate this, but I wonder if they do vegetarian sausages?”

Which obviously they don’t, but you’ve managed to say that you’re vegetarian without being ungrateful.

Oh yeah, that’s how they roll. the nyc homeless are notoriously picky. Or maybe they just want money for booze. Welcome to NYC (again) baby!

I would have taken the hot dog. I’m not homeless, but I love hot dogs.
