Always have a crappy wee polystyrene (or however you spell it) cup?
To make things worse they eat half of it or something.

I used to be the compassionate/charitable kind but I've seen too many manky junkies wasting their cash and harrasing old woman for change.

Also, don't beg with a fecking Starbucks cup... I don't even buy stuff out of there because its too expensive.

I seen one who was well dressed (well for a ned) walking down Buchannon Street. Then he stopped, sat down next to a bin and brought out his half eaten cup.

I stared at him trying to figure it out as I walked passed him.
Also, Glasgow is famous for 'stories'... the best I heard was a perfectly fine guy gave me some speel about getting to the Isle of Bute or something... did I have any money.

I might have but I couldn't be bothered getting my wallet out my back.

Aha.
"Spare change? Oh come on, I'm new at this. Give a guy a break. What if I ripped my clothes a bit? I could get a dog - yeah, I'll get a dog. Then you'll be sorry, tightarse. Hey ... I'm getting good at this."

Maybe he'd only just become a hobo, like 5 minutes before?

Trampy people was one of my pet hates about living and studying in Cambridge - they were everywhere. Some had the lethal combination of being homeless, drunk and quite mentally unstable.

Examples:

1. "Can I have some money", said one to me, right after she'd thrown a newly-finished can of White Lightning at a house...

2. "Excuse me", "Sorry, I'm in a rush.", "Excuse me, don't ignore me, I' a Human too.", "I haven't got any money, I'm a student!", she follows me with her dog, "What makes you think I want money, eh?", "Well what do you want?" "Spare change...?"

3. "Want to buy anything from my trolley?", "No thanks.", "C*nt", "What!?", "You're a c******nt.", "Er...goodbye mate."

I remember seeing a beggar who was wearing a suede jacket, perfectly clean jeans, nice black shoes and a scarf. Either Cambridge has a different class of beggar, or there's a very cold student with a black eye walking around somewhere.

You spelt it right.

I guess it's not really fair to go on at them like that, but it's true that they harass gullible elderly folk.
