2) Allowing the bum to invade your personal space = wussy.
3) Allowing a bum to actually take your credit card from you = SuperWuss.
I realize that Seattle is famous for its passivity (which usually disguises actual aggression) but you are Capital F-ing crazy to let a bum get that close to you. Taking the parking sticker back to your car and putting it on the window? Taking the credit card out of your hand?
I'm from a small town in New Jersey and I have more street smarts than that!
I really have to wonder how far we'll go here in Seattle with this passivity thing.
