So this kid is stopping traffic in flatbush on East 27 street, (stands in front of your vehicle so you can’t proceed). I can tell he’s under the influence. I roll down my window and he says “Chayav Inish Livsumi” he probably wanted to say “Kol haposhet yad nosnim lo” He continued to say that he’s from Yeshiva XYZ…. so I gave him a small amount. I’m not a rich guy, I don’t drive a BMW/Lexus/Infiniti/etc. So he didn’t like the amount I gave so he throws it back at my 7 year old son behind me and says “Here’s shalach manos for your son” …meanwhile there are cars behind me honking their horns…. My father taught me that one should not curse (I don’t mean th filthy-mouth kind) so let me spin it this way: He should work an honest day in his life trying to support a family and understand my position.
