It is aggravating to sit at a red light and when the light turns green have the idiot in front of you call over the panhandler to contribute to their addiction and then you miss the light. My car horn is not loud enough!
What gets me is that I live in a recession-proof area. Unemployment is usually around 2% and there are still beggars at the lights. If people didn’t give to them, they’d have no reason to hang around and maybe get a menial job at least. Heck, all I saw were stoners working at the fast food places around Denver so I know the beggars could do that here. I’m sure they’re making more from the stopped cars though. Ticket the drivers for a safety violation or causing impeded traffic.
