But it happened just the same.
Mason and I were walking to Horton Plaza Downtown San Diego
I wanted to buy a vest from Levi's that I didn't actually need
Levi's ended up being closed, so I wasn't able to buy it
I turn around and start walking back from where I came, mason holding my hand
I then witness this conversation between a large homeless woman and a security guard
Security Guard: "Ma'am, you can't stay here"
Homeless Woman: "Sir, how is your night going?"
Security Guard: "My night is going just fine, how is yours going?"
-About this time in the conversation, the woman's demeanor goes from "nice and polite" to "cut the crap" in about 2.2 seconds and she starts to glare at the security guard, so the guard decides to repeat his original statement and get back to the point-
Security Guard: "Ma'am, you can't stay here."
Homeless Woman: Screams "WHY DO I HAVE TO LEAVE?? WHY DOESN'T SHE HAVE TO LEAVE??"
-About the time when she shouts "SHE" I am walking by with Mason
I am dreadfully close to her and didn't realize at that moment that I had become her target
She pointed at me
Opened her mouth
And let it fly
Next thing I know, I am covered in a homeless woman's spit
Not gonna lie... it was quite something
embarrassing, humbling,
And all I could think was "Why?"
So I just kept walking and I am still thinking about it
What would have happened if I had spit back at her?
