When I lived in Los Angeles and drove to West LA every day to work, there was a bum on every freeway offramp. I always had to sit at a long off ramp light where a bum was rather aggressively panhandling. The off ramp was covered in litter of all stripes. I always wanted to tell the bum that if he cleaned up all of the litter on the off ramp I’d start giving him some money, but I was sure he’d take it as an insult. So he never got anything from me... not even the advice that he needed but likely wouldn’t have listened to anyway.
