What aggravates me is how greedy they can be. Had a guy ask me to buy him food at mcdonald's the other day. Fine, maybe he's hungry, so I don't mind helping.
He's sitting outside, I said you can come in and pick what you want, he said no just bring it to me. I said ok what do you want? So I got him pancakes and orange juice, bring it out and hand it to him.
He immediately asks me for money for a bus ticket.
Sir, I just bought you breakfast. I gave him $1 and wished him good luck.
Knew a guy who bought a bunch of tacos for a homeless guy sitting at Burlington Coat Factory on Airline. Hands them to the guy and the guy says "I don't like tacos, can you just give me the money instead?"
If I was begging, I would take what I could get and wouldn't ask for more.
Beggar told my sister one time that she made $1,000 a week. And this was in a small town, just sitting at a truck stop.
I don't mind helping when I can but when is enough, enough?

wow, you were awefully patient with him...
I got waived over in a dicey area of chicago [ western and lake street], begging for a ride to get gas, I could not accept riders in company van, but I bought the gas and gave him a ten for food, lucky I didn't end up in a dumpster...
