Chuggers
Oh yeah the one below about charity collectors on the street.....charity-muggers I beleive their known as. Now whilst i have no objection to charities per se, its just that i target my donations to a very specific sector of charities that have had a personal impact on my life.

I do not want to save animals, i do not care about starving donkeys,I don't really give a fuck about religious charites, so stop bothering me when I'm about my business and I won't call you all a bunch of scrounging, begging, pedestrian harrasing annoying fuvkwits with clipboards.

Cheers.

we hates them
When I'm on the street in a town, it's because I'm going somewhere, A to B. I'm not looking for attention. I'm certainly not stopping for any stranger. I'm definitely not getting my wallet out, really or abstractly (bank details), for anyone. When I give to charity it's carefully thought-out and controlled - that is, no direct debits, and no giving that puts me on a roster that gets me more begging letters or emails.

donkeys
I thought I didn't care about starving donkeys but the advert at the minute about the donkeys nearly had me fucking donating. Stupid advert.

Starving Donkeys?
I can remember when the charity adverts involving donkeys were for sending a donkey to the impoverished, now it seems all those said donkeys are starving. What a great idea that turned out to be, never mind how patronising it was in the first place.

Wearing a pair of headphones
and pretending not to hear them solves the whole "sorry I'm too busy/haven't got any money" moral dilemma.

Fortunately
I'm still young enough for them to ask me how old I am, and me to lie and say I'm just underage. I'm all for feeding starving people/saving animals/supporting kids' football teams/giving homeless people a roof over their head/whatever charity you want, but I'd much rather chuck a quid in a bucket than give a complete stranger my fucking bank details in the middle of the street.
