People on the street corners or at traffic lights holding up signs asking for money or try to clean your windows. Are there alot near you and if so, how do you deal with them when they come up to your car?

actually i have been seeing a LOT more crowding the streets lately, one guy stands at the same corner every day.
ive actually talked to him before he was complaining about how he cant find a job when hes standing at an intersection with a Wal-Mart behind him he says nobody will hire him because he didnt graduate high school... ive also seen him talking on a Cell phone, so i think hes just conning people
None of them walk up to my car so i dont normally confront them. but i see that one guy standing there EVERY SINGLE DAY it annoys the hell out of me.

When I travel into the city, coming off the bridge there is an intersection where 24/7/365 there will be one or two people with signs looking for cash. I've trained myself to ignore them at this location because it is a hot-spot (I assure myself that this location is for making a profit, not for the honestly needy). Elsewhere I'll act differently, for example I've had people offer to clean my windows for a buck, if I have it I'll give it to them.
That's all in the city, around where I live it's usually more of this...

Theres cows in Jew Jersey?
I hate that show so freakin bad! My mother-in-law (who I am temporarily living with) also watches the real housewives on NJ, and I can't stand those people either. Honestly I just don't understand how anyone can enjoy watching that garbage.
My wife wrote a little something about it today actually: http://www.autofocuspa.com/showthrea...still-love-her
