Do they just annoy you and you want them to shut up?

giving money away would likely make them beg more from you

also, whenever or not you give them money why dont you call the police on them as aggressive panhandling by itself is a crime?

If locking online play behind a paywall with irrelevant games is a service then bricking your phone and not removing the brick without a fee is also a service.

I work downtown and literally every corner has them. And I see the same people EVERY day. Now I feel bad for them, but there are more productive things you can do then beg in the same spot day after day.

a reporter in Toronto spent a week living on the street and begging for change and he average over 200 a day.

where is someone who probly lacks a car and a decent wardrobe and a place to shower gonna make anything even close to that?

Because after you give them money they will go bother someone else

More productive more society anyway. But the places I am talking about have way too much competition. If they want to make more money, they need to pick different places so set up camp. Because when you see the same people every day on the way to work, you are less inclined to feel bad for them. Also when there is someone literally on EVERY corner, you can't really afford to help every person.

I haven't lived anywhere that has bums in almost 15 years, but when I did I would just say "NO" and keep walking if one started to approach me. Worked most of the time

I used to copiously give away money but I stopped doing that a couple years ago. Sometimes if Im walking home with a 30-pack Ill give away a beer if someone asks. Sometimes Ill end up hanging around and hand out a bunch if Im drunk enough. But with money I just started saying I have no cash a while back.

Since most of them blame Obama/Biden for their issues I give them these.

I used to be so well known that they started coming to my home.

I would give about $30 every day for years.

Finally moved out of the city and away from all of that.

At least now I'm at peace. :)

I've read a few posts on Reddit claiming the grifters will do things like sit on the hood of the car of the people they're trying to get money from.

That would be absolutely infuriating tbqh
