Windows.
I come out of the liquor store with beer in bag. As I approach my van door, a man walks up with the inevitable question——“Can I wash your windows?”
“No thanks.”
“Well then... do you have any spare money?”
“Sorry man, I can’t help you tonight...”
“Well fuck you then!”
“Excuse me?” I counter, the only thing my mouth could work out. He walked away nervously and ducked into a laundromat. I nervously got into my van.
