I've given money to a panhandler once in my life, and I'll never do it again. Here's how it went.

Panhandler: "Hey can I have a quarter?"

Me: Sure.

*I get out my wallet and fish for a quarter as the panhandler can plainly see that my wallet is stuffed with cash*

I give him the quarter

Panhandler: "Can I have a dollar?"

I feel bad for him and give him a dollar

Panhandler: "Can I have $5?"

Now I'm getting frustrated

Me: "Why do you need a dollar?"

He tells me some sob story about how he was kicked out of his house and he needed money for food and a bus fare (this guy was a teenager).

I begrudgingly give him $5 and leave, but the whole experience kind of annoyed me and I knew it was totally my fault for giving in to peer pressure.
