Beggars
Don't get really shouty and aggressive when I don't give you any change.

You beg in the same spot most days. I walk past you most days. If you are rude, it will prevent me from EVER giving you any change, whereas if you were pleasant it might actually increase the likelihood.

Please bear in mind in future.

Oh, and
Don't beg near cash machines. If I'm going to a cash machine, it's because I don't have any cash. If I'm going from a cash machine, it's all in tens and twenties.

OR...
perhaps you should try to imagine how you may feel in those circumstances. being ignored by 99% of people tends to cloud your sense of pleasantry.

Well...
As I say, even if I was pissed off I'd probably bear in mind that I'm trying to get money out of people and there are some things which are more likely to make it work than others.

but all I need is 87 pence, it's for my bus fare, I'm lost and I need to save up for my sister's eye operation

Best I heard was
"I've just been to a wedding in Chester, but I fell asleep in the toilets and someone nicked my hat, so I need to go to Blackburn to buy a new one".

Absolute classic.
