I just gave a guy $10 at the rest area in Sugartit, Kentucky (well, that's what we call it; I think it might actually be Richwood). He had a story about a bad water pump and claimed he had hurt his hand and that the mechanics would only install it for him for a certain amount, etc. I don't know if I believed his story, exactly, but I was feeling particularly amiable. I figure if he uses the money for something else, then it's on his head, not mine. My karma is clear. Besides, if the guy buys drugs or something, it'll ease his pain for a little while. I have a hard time seeing how that's a bad thing.
