Can we get a homeless/mentally ill people stories thread going?

I was in traffic and this homeless dude came up to my car and started washing my windows without even asking, yelling about needing money and how he used to be on TV.

haha OP ePPIC meme

I once saw an old lady laying outside of a restaurant with blood pouring from her leg, thought it'd be a good idea to help but when I stepped closer she pulled out a 9" nail and started jamming it in to her head. Felt her blood splatter on me and everything, I was so absorbed in the moment I didn't even notice the crowd of 20+ people peeking round the corner and when I looked at them they were all signaling for me to get the fuck away from her. Heard she died in the hospital later that day... Not the first time I've seen something like this but definitely the most memorable, I can still hear the fucking noise her skull made when the nail hit it.

Crack. Definitly crack. Or PCP. They get fucked up and dont feel anything and dont realize what theyre doing at all.

I always thought it was meditation of some kind, she was dressed very 'spiritually' and reeked of incense. Now you've mentioned this though it makes a ton of sense, odd to think though because it's a small town and I've been involved in the drug scene and crack is hard as fuck to come by, let alone for a older woman (she must have been 70+).

I saw one that looked like jesus when I was in santa cruz a long time ago
He had on a dirty old twill suit, the jesus haircut, AND the fuckin jesus birkenstocks

I was coming home from work one day when I saw this dude on the side of the road, surrounded by jugs of piss which I assume belonged to him. He grabbed my hand and started asking me to buy something called "skyrim". It took me forever to shake him off, and when I was running away I heard him whisper "you'll pay. You'll pay for skyrim". Weird ass dude, looked kind of like todd howard.

As a kid I used to look at homeless people and wonder wtf happened to them. There was a homeless guy who would wear cowboy boots, shorts and a cowboy hat and would clean windows and he called the name of his "company" Vampire of the Night. I was just a normal kid at one time, I don't understand wtf happened to me. Why did I diverge like this. Fucking why.

>Outside shelter waiting for it to open
>This lady on heroin is doing the zombie daance
>Right on the edge of the curb
>Teeters back and forth for maybe 20 minutes while a pack of homeless niggers all hoot and laugh at her
>Finally steps one foot over the edge and crashes onto the ground face first
>Niggers absolutely howling
>Just stare in morbid fascination at the whole scene
She never came into the shelter, I guess she slept on the road.

Overlooking your reddit spacing, thats a touching ass story. Tell your friend he's a good person. For me. And he has a job and since he's a good waiter, makes a good amount in tips. Enough for an apartment, food, and utilities. So yes. Hes doing good. And your friend changed his life. God bless him.

It was Jesus testing humanity.
We failed.

>Two weeks later, Elder Scrolls Online released to consoles. He killed himself the next day.

Bump for more homeless stories

What no I'm pretty sure I passed
I gave him like 3, 4 bucks

A while back I used to work at a downtown coffee shop. Theyd come in and flood the place and order a coffee (free refills) daily with their government checks or whatever.
I was very mentally unstable at the time resulting in a massive germaphobe complex. Id take care of them and be nice, but I couldent help showing a grossed out grimmace. After a while, the local homeless man would start putting his cash on the table instead of handing it to me.
I look back now and realise I was a real asshole. These people didnt deserve that and they got looks like that all the time. I realise now how hard it must have been to been such an outcast and hated by most people for something they couldent help. If I could go back, Id give him his coffee for free with a smile on my face and ask them about their day.
They just want a friend. Like us. And I failed that. Probably why I dont have any myself. I hope hes doing good. And I hope he's doing much better. He was a good man in a bad spot. Like all of us.

Update to now? Theres a bar I frequent with a homeless man. Hes one of my best friends. Sometimes we forget people are just people.

Youre going to heaven, user.

Damn. Now I wanna watch this movie. Shit.

I sometimes see mentally ill people scream about the intelligence services and how the local mental hospital destroyed the brain
One guy kept talking about Obama and Hillary
Kinda weird since I am not American

Sometimes I think about not taking my meds and becoming insane again
