Mister Sweary Man
I was returning home from work across Waterloo Bridge when I witnessed this wonderful piece of tramp harshness. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Waterloo Bridge, at the end there is an elevator that leads down to the South Bank. On this particular day there was a large dreadlocked chap selling the Big Issue in front of this elevator.

As I approached, a well dressed, softly spoken man and his family walked up to the lift and politely asked the tramp if he could push the button for them. For some reason, he took offense to this, and proceeded to yell, right into the poor man's face;

"Do I look like a fucking lift attendant, you CUNT?!"

He then went on to tell the surrounding group of stunned commuters that "You can fuck right off an' all, y'wankers!"

At which point, the well-dressed man quickly ushered his wife and child away, the commuters strode on, tutting and mumbling to themselves, and I leaned against a wall, tears of laughter rolling down my face.
