AntiAlt: If you'll forgive me for repeating myself, I once came within inches of telling a beggar in a wheelchair to fuck off
I'd just finished a gig and was struggling toward a bus stop with a bass in one hand and not-insubstantial amp in the other. Initially I tried to pretend I hadn't heard his "excuse me" but the sod gave chase. To which I thought,
"Bugger, it wouldn't look good to be seen running away from a bloke in a wheelchair."
So he asked me for some change, to which I awkwardly apologised and explained that no, I didn't, to which he protested, and to which I apologised again, to which he then looked at me very earneslty and said,
"It does come back on you, you know."

Hang on a fucking minute - you chased me down the street to ask for my spare change. I didn't ask you to to beg money off me, I certainly didn't ask for a lecture on fucking karma at the same time.

You should have asked him to reflect on what he must've done to end up in a wheelchair
before giving you a lecture in fucking karmic morality. Sanctimonious flids are the worst kind.

How did it feel to win only half the England caps your talent deserved?

Obscure way to accuse you of being Glenn Hoddle.

Oh. You see, I don't know who Glen Hoddle is
so there was no winning, really.

England manager who was sacked for basically saying what you just said.
That people in wheelchairs are only there because they did something bad in a previous life.

But you're right, I should know better than to do football references around here.

Oh, well I'm alright then.
I don't believe in reincarnation. I think he did something wrong in THIS life.

Much better.

Yeah, what he did wrong was 'not wear a seatbelt'.
Possibly.
