random man begging at my front door

[missmoore]

This afternoon, a middle aged man rang my door bell, then immediatly started knocking until I answered. When I did, he made the 'shush' sign and then held up a card that said, along the lines of, 'I am deaf. I am also Polish and very poor, would you look at some of my daughters drawings and consider donating some money?'

Has anybody else experienced anything like this?? I am completely baffled by it - I live in a nice enough area, and have never heard of this happen to anyone else. I'm not against people begging, I often buy the big issue and have several direct debits set up for charities, but is going to someone's front door to beg not crossing a line?! It just seemed pretty bizarre!
