I'm not quite sure the people that need help would beg in the first place. I it happened to me I would go the gas station and ask the salesman for a gas loan probably leaving my watch or driving license until I bring back the money.
In my opinion it is safe bet to assume it is a scum. Even at the cost of very rare false-positive...

In Europe we have a much more civilised way of doing this - the Government takes the equivalent of the $10 you might have parted with and passes on $5 to the person stuck without money. Everyone is happy*

The best bet in my opinion is offering to fill up their car (to some degree, I'm not that well of) and pay directly to the cashier of the gas station. Offers like this from my side have been (not so gracefully) declined, but then I knew what was cooking!

I fell for that 10 or 15 years ago.
The attendant at the gas station told me that the two in the car pull that stunt typically twice a week.

My wife had stopped in a fast food restaurant. Some woman approached her asking for money for food. My wife said no money, but she would buy food. The woman then tried to order something expensive. My wife said no way, the item in question was more money than she was spending on herself. I guess that the woman forgot the adage: Beggars cannot be choosers.

Sigh, it's just me - Visual Studio has always done this, but today it's driving me nuts - you know the quirk -
You minimize Visual Studio, attempt a task, but VS is busy, so it restores itself. (Repeat sentence until you give up and wait for VS to complete).
|

|

"Why Visual Studio is driving me nuts today"
Because you installed it...
Why does it get so much slower with each version?
Why does Intellisense switch itself off every now and then?
Why don't they do a bug-fix version instead of adding a heap of pointless rubbish?
And it's still the best IDE by several miles! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What fires my flame is that with EVERY release of VS the menu items, toolbar buttons, and keyboard shortcuts are changed.
WHY???? WTF was wrong with where they were??? WHY did then need to be moved so now I have to relearn them ALL LOVER AGIAN!!!
What jack@$$ at MS decided THAT was a good idea?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I wish MS would someday create a light version of the VS IDE which has optimal number of functionality to help a beginner to get started with coding.
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Everybody who complains about VS (any version) should first work with Embarcadero Products....

Talk about trolling . . . a rather Smaug remark. Don't make a hobbit of it.
