Just Trying To Make The Neighborhood Better

On my way home from class, I witnessed two homeless women arguing because one was peeing in public and the other one called her out. Here is the exchange:

Homeless Woman #1: "THAT lady over there is just peeing all out in the open !!"(in front of a bank's entrance)


Homeless Woman # 2: "I'm HOMELESS!! I gotta pee somewhere!!"

Homeless Woman #1: "I'm HOMELESS TOO but you don't see me squatting all out in the open!"

Homeless Woman #2: "What??! What, you want me to piss all over myself. Is that what I'm supposed to do? This bitch wants me to piss all over myself!!!"

Homeless Woman #1: "Go in a corner like everyone else..."

Homeless Woman #2: (mumbling) "That bitch is trying to start trouble"
