One time at the crack Mac's on 7th, I had just bought from Subway there, went onto the train station to catch the next train, and proceeded to get harassed by a woman wanting change. When I said that I wasn't giving her change, she asked if she could have my sub sandwich I just bought. Like hell I'm giving someone my lunch, just because they wanted it. I told her 'yeah right', and then she asked for my chocolate milk. Again, I said 'yeah right'. I also added 'you're not getting anything, take the hint.' So she called over her boyfriend, who when I saw him must've been about 6'8" and 300 lbs, so I booked it off the platform into another building. As much as I wanted to Chuck Norris his ass around Southern Alberta, reality let me know that wasn't a situation I was about to handle.
I just don't understand why panhandlers think they're entitled to your money. Sometimes I'd just like to bust out the 'get a job' argument to them (especially in today'd economy), but then I realize that doesn't really accomplish anything except enrage them.

I had a guy at the same Mac's one day tell me that me giving him a quarter wasn't enough to feed him, being a smart ass I pointed at the Mcdonald's told him they'd hire him and give him 50% off his meal, I got sworn at pretty goot for that one lol.
