Baltimore city is another story. There is a really neat trick the folks in Baltimore do. At a stop light a kid or adult will run out with a bucket and squeegee. They clean your windshield fully expecting money. Now keep in mind the drivers do not ask to have the windshield cleaned. If money is not handed over the car is spit on or hit with the squeegee.

Had that happen to me in the UK down south...I lowered my window and informed them I wouldn't be paying for a service I hadn't asked for and luckily (I suppose) they moved on to the next vehicle.
Pretty lucky I suppose because if they'd attempted to damage my car the buna short fuse would more than likely have been ignited and I'd have ended up in police custody...a busmans holiday one could say
