How many times has a homeless person come up to you and ask for money?

I’m not sure there aren’t very many homeless people around the area I live...the last time a homeless person asked for money it was when my mom and I went downtown for lunch we had to park at a parking meter because there’s no parking downtown and forgot where we parked so we were walking looking for our car and a homeless person asked if we had any money she was clearly unstable as a lot of them suffer from mental illness she was being extremely aggressive about it😬 and started following us. I usually give when I feel like it or have the money but my mom alwaysss gives because that’s just how she is I guess but neither of us had any cash on us at the time haha so it was a pretty scary experience. She finally left us alone when we crossed the street.
