I normally pace around pretty much everywhere, it's pretty much because I have adhd. And I apparently made a mistake of doing it in a plaza.

I was pacing in a plaza while two relatives was shopping. And out of the blue some guy came out of the plasma donation center and yelling at me. Most of what he was saying was unintelligible and the only things I could pick up was "..walking around like a idiot" and "I'm going to blow your head off". Man fuck this city.

Do people not donate blood/plasma in, I assume, USA for reasons other than money?

It's typically for financial reasons unfortunately. Obviously there are some people who donate out of the goodness of their heart, but they're the exception to the rule.

There's also the fact that they're donating plasma instead of blood. Youre not allowed to donate blood if you have any drugs in your system, but you can with plasma. They were also acting irrationally aggressive towards OP. These things tell me that they probably struggle alot with mental health issues and drug addiction, and donating plasma is one of the few ways people can get some form of income under those circumstances.
