Is it gonna be $5, $10, or even $20, before you will allow me to give you free money?

My reactions have evolved into either just laughing at them on the street while shaking my head, or booming loudly at them; "you gotta be kidding me, you want me to give you my money that I worked for?!" The last one usually gets a look like they are wondering if I am getting ready to escalate my behavior.
