I am from India. The a part of transgender community often known as Hijras come to public places and demand money. Often they touch you while demanding money else they will simply lift their clothes to expose their genitals. Often to avoid that touch you end up giving them money.

The technique was further refined by beggar community who will deliberately be filthy and to avoid their touch you will end up paying the money.

I think assholes benefit from the fear of rest of the people to be civil.
