    I relate to what you are saying. I had two jobs, and was working 60 hours a week at $5/hour. I was exhausted, and barely scraping by enough for rent, and food. There were times when I ate popcorn for a week because I didn't have any food. But I didn't ask other people for money. I did what I had to do. I would cross through the park on my way to work, where a group of guys hung out in the park all day long, drunk on Lysol and demanding me to give them money. It made me really frustrated. But a friend of mine approached it differently. He would say, 'What do you want the money for?' They would usually ask to get something to eat, and he would go into the nearest place and buy them a sandwich or a slice of pizza. If they were looking for booze money, they would just storm off.
