My bf and I ran into one of these dudes - said he was on a road trip from a college about 100 miles away and got separated from his friends. (I helpfully said "are you in a fraternity with a local chapter?") This whole story about he called all his friends at school, etc. Well to be blunt I think he was just stoned out of his mind and looking for his next fix. So we gave him some $$$ to make him go away.
As far as career beggars, there is one in downtown Pgh who totally pisses me off - she has two cats beside her to up the sympathy value. One of these days I hope the ASPCA comes and arrests her butt.
