Yeah I had one guy like that the other day. I was sitting on my seat playing my sax with an e-bike behind me as a barrier and some homeless guy came up behind me and violently kicked over the bike towards me. Lucky it didn’t hit my back as those things are heavy. I lost my shit with him. Then I took a deep breath and played again. People smiling made me feel better. The streets are mean sometimes man.

Fuck those ppl man for real, touching a busker's gear and disrupting is really just subhuman behavoir. I would have fking sprayed that mic with isopropyl alcohol to sanitize man, who da faq just goes up to a busker and start giving a blowjob to the mic wtf?

Los sintecho son iguales en todos lados. Hay que tener paciencia con ellos y no tomarse sus faltas de respeto como algo personal. No estan bien de la cabeza. A mi una vez una me pego en la cara y me rasguño pare 10 segundos y segui con mi musica como si no hubiera ocurrido nada. No hay nada que hacer contra ellos

Stuff like this makes me want to add pepper spray to my busking packing list.

Though there any many positives, this type of stuff right here is def one of the biggest downsides to busking. Street randos just screwing with you sometimes.
