Especially in the underdeveloped world. I just don't make eye contact and ignore them while walking away. Pickpockets are also common in tourist destinations so I don't carry valuables that are easily accessed. I've traveled in the underdeveloped world enough to just expect that kind of behavior so it doesn't really bother me.
