Stranger asks you for something (money/change/cigarettes) what is your response?
Where i currently live in a main town centre street currently every other night someone is asking me for something when i walk to the shop. The area i live in is pretty decent but town and city centres at night aren't the same.
I do care about all people but i dont want to be harassed for resources in this way constantly. I have even had some under the breath comments thrown my way when i say no sorry. Its not always homeless people asking either but usually is, sometimes you just get some guy who doesn't appear homeless asking for shit. They all want money to buy alcohol though.

For cigarettes I might give one if we had some stranger to stranger talk before. No way in hell I'm going to give my money to strangers (except extra change for panhandlers).

for rent. 10BTC a month.  |

This problem as apparently caused by the optical sensor inside the audio jack 3.5 mm a headphone.  The loud speaker switches off after the headphones have been unplugged... I am experiencing this problem too, after the Jelly Bean update.  Removing the headphone jack 3.5 mm fixes the problem sometimes, and takes quite a number of tries.  I have decided this problem, bought new headphones. Here`s a cool headphones with examples http://jonsguide.org/best-top-bowers-wilkins-p7-reviews/. |

If they are asking for Money I'll ask them "What for?" and decide on their response, its very likely to be no unless they have a very good reason and thing to spend it on and can prove it.
Generally from past experience those who ask for money aren't the real homeless, homeless people who really need the money will probably have a pot and won't bother pestering people while they are on about their business.

During my trip I Always meet people asking for something, the most are poor people asking for money, well, sometime I give money to them. But I can't give something to all of them so I skip the most, without saying nothting or just "no thanks"

I would really look at that person and if he looks poor, instead of giving him money i would provide him food whixh in my scenario would be a better option.it will be very helpful and the person would be to quite an extend.

You can give 1 or 2 times but more than that is enough. They might assume that you're okay with it butnifnyou can just avoid them better. It's because you don't want to give or share but it's better to be careful because you don't know whats's running in their heads. Some people do that to confuse people for scamming. They will ask time or direction but you're not aware that they are already trying to hypnotize you for them to let you follow to whatever they will instruct you. And in 1 snap you won't remember anything. Just be careful.
