Stranger asking strange questions

Whenever a stranger stops me in the streat I start rabbling nonsense in Swedish :D their reactions are hilarious every time :D
 
Usually some ***** at buchanan bus station in glasgow seems to want to get my money. **** right off,I don't work minimum wage to dish it out to scum.

Had some ****** in Ayr want to stab me cause I said no :S

Actually,what really pees me off! "Any SPARE change pal?" ....oh aye a don't ever plan on spending this money....here you go ya tracky wearing '*******'
 
Nearly every Thursday evening up until about Easter time (March/April), this one guy--probably in his early twenties or so, and who I can only assume is some homeless bum--often walked up to me when I was waiting for the bus home from college and asked me if I had any spare change. When it frst started happening, I got a bit taken by surprise, but after a while I just responsded with "sorry, mate, I've only got enough for the bus home".

Perhaps one of the most random things that a stranger's ever asked me was on one of my last days of term (again, waiting for the bus): this old black guy came up to me asking if I had a TV, Sky, broadband, Freeview, etc, etc. He then offered me his "card"--to which I declined--and walked off.
 
i remember when i was in town near me (chester), me and my mate just got a sausage roll from greggs! we sat down on some benches this guy walks up and asks for some change we just say sorry i have absolutely nothing, then this other guy flys past us and takes my 1/4 of a sausage roll lmao

I've only recently moved to reading (about 2-3 months ago), and I am slightly annoyed by the amount of people that walk around asking for change.

Last week, a person about 20 years old stopped to ask if I spoke English, I looked at him and then just walked off. Today I bump into him again after work and he asks if I am from Reading, and I just say no and walk on by.

Has anyone ever had a similar experience? Should I be worried at all?

Reading has it's fair share of beggars and a number of Big Issue sellers. The beggars are all junkies as are most of the big issue sellers, but at least the latter aren't just scrounging.

I sometimes buy the big issue off one fella who hangs around by the alleyway just down from Ann Summers - he's been around for AGES and seems harmless enough.

I often see one of the junkies on the street, he's black guy with dreads, wears a green mac and often asks for money from young kids who don't know how to say no - pretty scummy if you ask me.

Quoted for truth there, however Oxford has to be the worst place for tramps askiing for change!
 
I never really get winded up by beggers before, I'd even feel sorry for them. But just about 2 weeks ago, I came out of gym in the late afternoon and was waiting at a road crossing to get acrossed, there was this fat algerian woman with her kid standing by her side looking at the traffic light to get ready for crossing. Just before she was happily taking her first step forward, she saw me standing about 2 meters away from her, then she decided to stop and put on her "im so poor and miserable" face and ask me for money.

I raged.
