Panhandling

Like selling lemonade, except without the lemonade, imagination, or even pretense of actually giving anybody anything in exchange for the dollar signs seen and taken.

Some of those guys/girls panhandling weren't really broke, he/she actually has more money than you and lives like a king or queen when nobody is looking, but wants attention when they are looking. Some of them have already taken enough from people without the panhandling to try and insult their intelligence.
