Don't help, it's a trap?

A few years ago, yes I would. But, once upon a time I was lost in a magical land called New York City when I stumbled upon a small Arabic woman on the side of the street begging for money, telling people about her "three starving children." See, it didn't exactly pull anybody's heartstrings considering she did it with a notecard clearly typed up and laminated. Now, I only help people I know or people who aren't complete idiots in their scams. However, people who know me, know me as an ass and treat me as an ass, thus never ask me for help. Win-Win.
You're kidding me?! Must be something local to me but the people in my city are the most thankless bunch you could imagine.fix-the-spade said:
I picked up a woman's leaflets that she'd dropped, she simply took them and moved on, I regularly give old people seats on the bus and the majority take it as sort of a given and feel no gratitude is necessary from them. I personally try to be nice to most people I meet but very few tend to show any appreciation for it.
I always try to help people. But there are some absurd stories like the one with the lawsuits. But my father had told me a local story about how there was a thief who broke into this ladies house, he fell through the window and hurt himself. He then sued the lady because IT WAS IN HER HOUSE. He won too. Son of a b**ch. Very unfair, I'd love to beat the s**t outta that guy...
I either don't have tissues, or I do have tissues. Blowing my nose in a handkerchief and then putting the snotty heap in my pocket? Noooo thank you.
Also people never ask me anything because I tend to stare at strangers in such a manner they kind of avoid me. It's great.

I never give money. People always ask me simply because I have large fluffy hair-doo and I seem to have a somewhat boyish face; I look nice and easy.
So, people plague me for money whenever I enter a large town, that or drugs. So I've got an internal script for these events.
Unfortunate individual; "Excuse me, may I have some money?"
Me; "I will be happy to buy you food or a similar item sir/madam, but you won't get raw money."
Annoying individual; "But why not?"
Me; "Because you'll spend it on drugs."
Bum; "How dare you! Have at thee, warrior!"
*Epic fight ensues in which I lop off their hand, shove the stump in their mouth and watch them drown in their own blood.*
Me; Muahhaha!
Well, the last bit rarely happens, but you can't say I'm not prepared.
