The Grifters Know how to tug at your heartstrings.
When I lived in Brooklyn, there were several regular panhandlers who stalked kosher restaurants, even coming up to your table begging or trying to sell some ratty ties or pirated videos. The management usually tossed them out. There were also panhandlers stationed regularly in front of kosher groceries. When I refused to give to one filthy woman, she screamed, "I hope you get cancer!" at me. Unfortunately, she was standing between the glass window of the establishment I wished to enter and its door. When I opened the door, and she got her filthy cursing mouth (and other parts) smushed, I guess that shut up her diseased ranting for a while, and saved other patrons from her predations.
