This one is sad because she was obviously mentally ill and not getting the help she needed, but it's the best example I have of the city I grew up in.

We had "Toonie Lady." She would roam around downtown begging for a Toonie and would get very upset if you gave her anything else, even if it was more.

For the non-Canadians, a Toonie is a $2 coin.

This is amusing to me because we have the "20ct guy" in my city who always claims he only needs 20ct and as soon as he sees any more money he'll steal it from you.
