Do people ask you for money extremely often?

The people who ask for money in my area aren't even homeless (fact), yet the people who are homeless pretty much stay in the shadows and don't ask for a cent.

I usually try to avoid them. Some try to engage you in conversation first before they ask the big question. Others are pretty blatant and will sit on the footpath with an open hat on the ground. One used to sit on the steps at the bottom of my workplace. We used to say "dude, somebody upstairs rang the police, quick, run!" and he used to shoot off pretty quickly

No because my cloths & grooming resembles a beggar more than they resemble someone with money. People have occasionally asked me for drugs or if I wanted to buy drugs thou

People who know me know that I always have a little pocket money, and sometimes ask for a dollar or two. I refuse them, which is how I manage to buy small items(invariably cheap sodas) when I want them.

Once, a guy asked me for a nickel in an Ohio turnpike plaza, saying that was how much he was going to be short that much on his toll. I am not certain that he really needed it, or if he wanted me to take out my wallet so he could grab it and run, but I was counting out change for a vending machine at the time, so I handed him a nickel, and he left me alone.
