its annoying but sometimes i give them some coins, just a little but sometimes they get mad because the money u gave is not enough to buy food for them, they are demanding too... but still its sad to see them begging.

Actually i don't feel annoyed, knowing that they must have a sad story behind their behavior. But i often feel afraid when i see them. I don't know why. Anyone feels the same?

yah they suffered a lot i guess thats y they end up on the streets being homeless, but some people irritates me, because i give money one time and i followed where they went, they just use the money to gamble on the street...

O.o you still followed them!?!? I often give to stop them from following me.. Haha you are pretty weird. But ya actually you can tell that most lied. Once i was at the busstop and a beggar came to ask for money to take the bus home. Then after i give him, he went the other direction. i feel that i was scammed. There is always one or two whom spoil the market.

i followed them but its not that far, just as far as my eyes can see... i saw them playing on the street sidewalk... with play cards and tossing coins.

No i do not mind them asking for money as if i was in their situation i would do the same thing if they had any other way to get money they would.

It is very annoying sometimes when one after another come to my table while eating and asking for money. Usually I just give the first one that come. What I think is they actually earn a lot in than me in one day by asking here and there.

I don't feel annoyed, I just feel little scary and sad too. I wanna help them but sometimes I didn't bring any coins or small money so I can't. If I have coins or money I will give it to them.. I feel afraid to those who demands and still follow me after I give them the money..

you cant really get annoyed with them. i would get them extra change if they approach me. imagine one day you end up like them going on the street begging for money and the person that begged from you end up giving up back the money. imagine that
