Stranger asks you for something (money/change/cigarettes) what is your response?

[Placid]

Most of the time it are same people over and over again, atleast in a smaller city. Sure, if you have some spare change, you can hand them something. But remind their faces. Next time when they ask you, remind them you've already given them something. In a month or so, you can hand them again afew bucks. Atleast, thats why i do. Nobody wants to be a drifter, life can just be hard sometimes.

If I happen to have a pack of cigarettes with me, I'll be more than happy to share them with anybody. as for money, well, I'm definitely not a millionaire and even if I had some extra money, I would either spend half of it on my mom or actually just give it to her, or I would just put it by for a rainy day. In my opinion it's better not to give it away to strangers. if one sees a homeless and hungry person on the street, it's better to treat him/her to sandwiches or fruits or both.

I'll just tell him the truth:

I don't have money or change. I'm poorer than him.

I don't smoke cigarette.

[picasoamberlin]

i never response to a stranger

[ldreligion]

Why give it to them, I will not give anything, of course, unless they are not a robber.

[crypto1010]

With cigarettes am sure you can easily spare a stick for the stranger then when it comes to change it all depends on how much you have on you and if any small Pending bills need immediate  attention

[alphablitzer]

I guess it will be okay if you try to give what you can if they can't understand that strangers can't give enough of what you have because your resource is not enough, that's the problem of the world especially with people.

I'd give him cigarettes. So probably the beggar dies of lung cancer as I see beggars as a cancer of this earth. Especially if they are able bodied but not willing to work for money! They are lazy and should be wiped off this earth. I would only give money to those who are deeply in need but cannot really work because of some cause.

[petsae]

If someone ask me for money I would tell him/her that I can buy for him/her some food instead.

[shualingfa]

I will ignore him. Why should I give him something free, I rely on sweat to get things I should cherish.

[Japan_peopleffs]

1 or 2 times. You must be able to say no. They have chosen their way - to be poor and are accustomed to doing nothing but begging.

[Winchester2211]

If he has a neat appearance that the cigarette ladies. Everything else will not give. I have a friend who says that when you give money to beggars, interfering with divine justice. You don't know what he was punished by God. But if he on this money buys whiskey and kill someone?

[mindrust]

I always share my cigarettes with anyone, if i have any on me.

Money? Usually no. I sometimes give away a couple of nickels but that's very rare.

Change? Now, that is probably a scam. Never done, never gonna do.

[ridery99]

strangers never ask me anything, maybe I'm too scary

[alphablitzer]

I won't give anything to them except food. If I gave them money, I think they would just use it in something that's not healthy or something. I don't have enough money anyways, and if I give theme even a small percent, probably it's going to be really small. It's just not gonna help them but if it's food, I think it's better and that's the way it could be done in my opinion.

[Guzztsar]

Almost always, someone comes to my house asking for food and water, I feel good to help those people, but when they ask for money i know it's not for a good cause.
Unfortunately, my country has a lot of people living in misery.

[scheascha]

You can always get what you want, if you do something, I myself received money / cigarettes and so on, why should I give back what I received with my work

[Cryptotina]

Sure no problem.. Why not give? After all, nothing we have is truly ours, and we are all connected some way. However, humans tend to ask ask ask and keep asking forever. So just do the ones you can do, the rest will take care of itself.

Not all homeless people want money to buy alcohol

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.

Make up a reason or just say No, it's not that hard and don't appear vulnerable
