I had an encounter with a few in my days.
One that stands out in my head, here goes.
My sister and I came in contact with one and he said he was hungry, we were going to get something to eat so we decided to get him something as well, he told us he did not want any Mc Donald's, just give him the money instead, so I give him $5, this damn guy told me it's not enough as he wants Chinese food and something to drink, you ever see more.

well all of these experiences just had me crackin up!!

But i have an odd experience to share. There was this mad lady/ vagrant living in our area and she absolutely loved me. She even came to my house and planted peas and corn in my front yard and came to tend to it everyday. It was really weird cuz everyone in the village was so scared of her and she just picked me out of everyone to like. She however HATED my best friend and would chase her with a cutlasse and call her a red monkey...lol. Everytime i would go back to trinidad she would tell me everything that was goin on (she was mad but a damn good macco) and she would scream at everyone to not interfere with me while i was there.

meh mom used to allways tell meh, dont give vagrant no money, how dey does have more money than we who working. but i did never believe she - how ah man who begging and looking dutty dutty and smelling stink could have more money than me? ah day i went in royal bank with meh mom and as we about to come back out, ah see ah vagrant lady, walk in d bank, pull out she bank book out ah she bosom, and deposit d money she beg for into d bank. after dat....me ent giving no vagrant no money.

Frigg I guess $1 from 5 people (which would be easier to get eh) wouldn't be the same as $5 from one person? Well look my crosses nuh!!

I've certainly had my share of vagrant encounters including walking backwards as I lovingly waved to my boyfriend, tripping over a vagrant and catspradling on the pavement in Independence Square in de people Convent uniform no less!!

But the funniest thing I've seen involving a vagrant was my Dad's secretary. She get so sick of the vagrants begging for money that everytime she see one before they could open their mouth, she start "Yuh have a dollar, yuh have a dollar?"
You should see the faces. They get so confused, they doh know what to say or do!! It is absolutely HILARIOUS!!

my mom was giving one a $5 bill one day and started to let him about Jesus, the man say he ain't want to hear bout Jesus, she let him straight, is Jesus that help me get this money, so if you don't want Jesus, you can't get meh $5 bill and she walk away. I laugh and laugh.

I was in tunapuna, shopping for school books and they begging right by the bookstore, I tell one flat, I can't even afford these books, you expect me to give you my hard earned money, no way. I go buy you a couple doubles but he move away because he wanted the money for drugs!!

Ah vagrants........such a sweet smelling bunch.
I was in Kentucky on Frederick Street one lunchtime when dis one bounce een de door, stinking up de place and skinning teeth. He made a beeline for his usual dustbin and start to dig. We regulars looked up from our food and went back eating because we know the accustomed drill with this one.However, a concerned and sympathetic patron, clearly not one of the usual diners, approached him, offering him money to buy a snack box. He bawl " Madam, I good here, yuh know. I eh BEGGIN, my business fix!, and promptly stuffed a chicken bone from the bin in his mouth. Trinidad sweet oui!

Allyuh have meh laughing wit de vagrant stories. When I was younger, my introduction to St James was by a vagrant who, as he was passing me and meh frien, promply hit meh on meh behind!! Yuh have to understand I was only 14 years ole. I didn't know what to do. I was shy back then. All ah could do was jump and look at de man! Meh frien jus laugh cause is she ah was visiting in St James!!

curious!

I have my fair share of vagrants who demand more - what sticks out the most is a vagrant I gave a slice of sweetbread to, he threw it away! I was a kid and it affected me since then.

I cannot stand to see kids begging - there I have a soft spot! I try to determine as best as I can who is genuine enough for my hard earned money!

The pet peeve of all is those prommenade beggars - who in some cases are better off than me! There is a woman who begged everyday on the Brian Lara Promenade - and when she died she left a couple thousands well under her mattress! I happen to like the pipe musicans and the fire breather!

Ah know some ah dem vagrants does have dey misfortunes and ting, eh, but some ah dem does really play de @rse. Everytime I see one I usually give them a wide berth. They no longer ask nicely. There's a lady right here in Point Fortin who we all call Angela. She scares the living daylights out of me. No joke! She walks up to you and usually says something like, "Gimme ah 20 dollars, nah! Ah want to go to de market. Ah have to cook meh Sunday food." She hasn't approached me in quite a while, though because given a choice, I would run through traffic to get out of her way. Hmph!

Ah next time one run me down from d top ah d promenade in Sando[by d hospital] to down by eden center jus because I and my sister who is 9, didnt want to see what he was tryin 2 show us[whatever it was I guessed that i was better of not knowing]
