Dear Mr. Panhandler
The answer is always no and yet EVERY time I see you, you ask anyway. I’ve seen you buying scratch tickets so I know what your game is. I try not to be rude with you because I know that you are a substance abuser and or mentally ill. Please don’t ask me

I know exactly who your talking about! He has a memory like a goldfish, Iv’e told him No 20 times, usually in some different fashion to shake things up, everything from laughing in his face, confronting him about his gambling, or plain out saying “You always ask, and I always say no. Give up!”
