There are several reasons people seem to be rude to homeless people. They are usually dirty, the emanating odor is almost always offensive, and by and large they don’t normally ask for just the time. However, the biggest reason for rudeness is fear. Most people are afraid of street people and the homeless, and rightfully so. A large percentage of violence comes from the desperate ‘I have nothing to lose’ attitude. Anxious to get quickly away from possibly being physically accosted or verbally assaulted, most tend to be curt from fear. Unfortunately there are two other reasons as well. Sometimes the embarrassment of being associated with a ‘lower’ class of person will put the ‘superior’ class off, and they intend to be rude. But they are going to be that way with most of us of the ‘lower’ class. The other is the person who has been in precisely the same situation has now climbed the social ladder a notch or two and just has no patience for those less fortunate and is deliberately cruel. Who knows? They probably don’t want to be reminded they were once in the same situation.
