Busking, according to dictionary.com, means “to play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money,” and is not intentionally related to being the king of a bus. Before today, I didn’t even know there was a word for it, and I sorta just called it “performing in a public place for money”, so I have learned something new today! Anyhow, yeah, it’s always awkward when someone comes into a subway car to perform or just beg for money and nobody wants to give money to them. You can’t make eye contact with them or reach into your pocket to get something, because that’d just give them false hope. And that’s bad.
