I used to panhandle… Or busk mostly I guess. I am not musically gifted but I hated asking for money for nothing so I would sing songs or tell poems for spare change.
It was mostly fine, I never made much but made enough that I could buy some food or a bus ticket. People were generally nice, but I’m a woman so YMMV.
The highlight for me was the one time a gentleman dropped a dimebag of weed in my guitar case. This was a much bigger deal back when the alternative was to ask your friend to ask his brother to ask his dealer.
