You Win This Round, Hobo
So I have beef with the homeless guy who lives in my neighborhood. (That sound ridiculous, I know. A homeless guy who lives in my neighborhood. Squats, maybe? I don't know.)
Anyway, it all started one day when I walked by him on the sidewalk. To be friendly, I smiled and said, "hello." Even though he was looking right at me, he totally stonewalled me. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and figured he probably just didn't hear me.
The second time I walked past him, I gave a smile and a little wave. Again, nothing. Now I started getting pissed. Here I was trying to be nice, and this guy was just completely freezing me out. I decided right then and there that I would not rest until I could show that fucker how friendly I was and finally get him to acknowledge me.
The next time I walked by, I pulled out all the stops. I bobbed my head a little to make sure we had eye contact, I gave another little wave and said, "hi." And he didn't even twitch. Just glared at me. In fact, I think he gave me the stink eye a little bit.
I know, right?!
It's on, bitch. I may not have all the details worked out yet. Or any of them. But I will best you, old man, and you will rue the day.

walk by with a 6 pack of beer... I bet he would notice you then! (Is that judgmental / stereotyping? )
Yes it is. Keep it up.
