Dear Anonymous,
He always politely begins with 'Excuse me...' before he makes a request or shares some information. And it is an endearing characteristic. Many guys out here will talk over one another, as if they are not used to being listened to. As if they sometimes don't hear one another so focused on their own desperate needs. As if everyones competing needs cannot be met. That's a lot of 'as ifs '.
But he will politely say 'Excuse me....' and it feels like a gift.
He was busy trying to set up a street buddy with some socks and a backpack. A man who was barely able to stand. Barely able to speak. Using his shopping cart to hold himself up.
Thank you Dear Anonymous, thank you.
