Whats your take on people walking up to your car asking for money?

Answer 1

I think, "There but for the grace of God go I" and I give them some. I just pray I never have to ask. In an exchange of money like that, I'm grateful that I'm the hand that gives, not the hand that receives.

Answer 2

I don't mind beggars in shopping centers and such too much; not all homeless are junks and who am I to judge. But I will NEVER give anything when they come up to a car. I think it's dangerous and people should keep their attention on the road. Even when the light is red, there could always be something happening -someone else running the light, an emergency vehicle coming up, a small child getting away from their parents... Begging okay but don't distract people driving, period.

Answer 3

Doors locked, windows up, and "No speekie" any language that they use.

OK to give to people without legs in foreign countries, etc., but in western nations solicitations like that generally buy booze and drugs, helping no one. There are agencies to donate money to help the truly needy.

Answer 4

Depends on how they do it...The majority of the time I forsee them as a threat and the last one well, he wasn't too happy when I flagged down a passing cop...He ended up with a set of silver bracelets and a ride downtown...Guess it pays to know when to shut up (that guy)

Answer 5

I just ignore them and keep my windows up. Some of these pan handlers are probably trying to support their drug/alcohol habits by asking for money.

Answer 6

not my hard earned money. i tell them where the nearest plasma donation center is and the nearest bus stop. keep on movin'

Answer 7

I keep my windows rolled up. There's no need for that.

Answer 8

its annoying and i dont give them any
