You see them on nearly every street corner and depending on where you live, up and down the street, on the side of the road and even in the stores. They all want the same thing. Money. Your money.
But lately, it seems that panhandlers are getting more aggressive. If you say "sorry man, don't have any", they talk back "well, for someone who doesn't have any, you have a nice watch asshole." or "i know damn well you got a laptop computer! don't be a ******* cheapass!" Panhandlers yell at you, "HEY you! help me out" even if you are walking with a friend and chatting, they'll interrupt you and beg.
I do not believe in giving the homeless and panhandlers money mainly because I have walked many miles in their shoes. I know that their are many services for the homeless for the taking. The only way one improves their situation is by taking action and helping themselves.
