There was a guy in Chicago who would ask for money to "help a drunk get drunker." We gave him money -- at least he was honest -- and spent some time talking to him. He was a cool, interesting person.
Here there are people everywhere on corners holding up signs. I hate it. There's this one guy who will stand by your car staring at you and talking to you even if your car window is closed. Apparently people have their own corners that they work and they make a decent amount of $$. I don't give them any.
I've even had a woman approach me in the grocery store asking for money -- WTF. No.
