I should have been more clear. I initially said that I had no change. I ignored him while he proceeded to follow me for two blocks.
I just get really irritated by people begging in general, and especially when they try to turn it into me being a bad person* for not helping them. I have bought food for people begging and given it to them (many years ago now, learned my lesson) and had them throw it on the ground and say they wanted my money, not food. Fuck that.
*I am a bad person, but not because I refuse to give money to beggars.
