on Friday I hope this story makes people look twice when they see a homeless person. Last night I missed my last train home and when I finally got to Euston to wait till the morning, the station was locked. Just as I was about to burst into drunken tears I met my homeless friend Mark. He said he would take me to a cafe that was open as it was too dangerous to walk by myself. He left me after a coffee and a chat and explained that he had to go get his sleeping bag but he would be back at 5 to walk me back to the station. (Me being a typical bitch didn't believe he would come back) It got past 5 and he was a no show. As I got round the corner my homeless friend Mark was running down the street towards me. Not only did he turn up but he had to get a bus to come get me. This man who I probably would of avoided eye contact with if he asked for spare change, completely changed such a negative event into the most eye opening event in my life. Mark you are one special man, I will never look down on a homeless person again ❤ This was also his first ever selfie! So a homeless man named Mark was allowed into a cafe because he had non-homeless company, and got an unorthodox coffee date with a relatively young, relatively attractive, relatively clean woman in the process? Well Nicole, I'll you what, this does change my perspective on homeless people. I had no idea they were this slick! The guy is going to be an internet sensation. He's going to be lauded as a hero and all he did was walk a completely capable young lady to an open place of business and engage her in conversation. The second this chick missed her train this become the best night he's had in 5 years. Most convenient thing that's happened to him since he started roaming the streets AND he gets good publicity because of it? If he knew the reaction was going to be this positive he probably would have been walking even the fattest and ugliest women that missed the last train to the coffee shop this whole time. Fucking Mark is about to the most accomplished homeless dater in history. Just prying all the untimely drunks that can't plan their night well enough around public transportation, and they think he's a good guy because of it? Hey Mark, scoot that sleeping bag over because next time I'm in a slump we are double dating. You can even have the pretty one as long as you make sure we go viral. I bet you can't name another street dweller that has a 0% rejection rate, and you certainly can't name one with as good of a rating on Lulu. h/t Metro
