# Hahahaha, nice!
And yes you can - just pretend to be talking on your mobile, they leave you alone

# I never worked out whether to feel releaved or rejected
as both charity muggers and free newspaper people tend to pretend I'm not there.

# Relieved, definitely
Right peeps, I must go and actually achieve things. T'ra!

# Don't look at them in the eye
Just like you do with a dog when you first meet them

# I find shouting that they're a filthy dog
and smacking then over the nose with a rolled up newspaper also tends to work.

These guys piss me off. They pretend like they're really caring about Save Mr. Spashy Pants or whatever the charity is. They get a nice commission on each person they get and up to 40% of your monthly donations after that go towards the promotion company's MD's new Porche.

# The idiots that do it...
...usually get no basic, and are paid around 40p per signup (which explains their desperation when they talk to you). You're right about the MD though.

# 'No thanks, I already donate all I can to charity'
that's what I say, and they leave me be. I'm being honest, I do donate to charity, £50 a month.

It's a job, at a time when people are struggling to find some. Everyone needs to get the fuck over it and live and let live.

# Dear Madam
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, the wife of the late head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria who died on the 8th of June 1998....

# Hahaha.
That would be extreme charity clipboarding if the people had to chase after you on a speedboat firing pistol rounds at you.

# haha :D
some chugger tried to set up in archway the other day and lasted about five minutes before being chased down the street by one of the local crack fiends demanding a conversation :D the glee on the street was palpable.

# Hahhahaha! god lord THIS!
I really hate those guys... I was actaully chasedby a Hare Krishna guy who wanted money, down oxford street the other day...

# Hare Krishnas
Are those the ones that give you a book then demand money for it?

# yup... there is a temple right next to where I work, so they are forever trying to stop me.
not only that, it's a hotspot for various other charity types too... Getting out on lunch or going home is like something out of an MMO; trying not to draw aggro on mobs (if anyone gets that :D)....

Them: "Hello we're collecting for cancer can i..."

# I usually pretend to be French
And just mumble something at them, that usually works. It baffles beggars on trains

# Oh god yes.
I hate these fuckers with a passion. Pretending to care about good causes when all they are doing is selling the right to feel like a good person for their own financial gain in what is also known as the Organised Religion Gambit.

# Yes!!!!!

The only problem was I was working for Shelter.
And he was right outside the building...

# Crappy paintballing places
It's usually the crap paintball places that do that. One near Birmingham called delta force always does it. And when you get there they split you up and mix everyone up. I ended up on a team with some kids that were on a day out with their council estate youth group. Some were about 10 and smoking!

I annoyed a Greenpeace charity worker I think it was, cycling up the main pedestrianised high street when a cw came running up to me asking if that was an electric bike
I just smiled and carried on up the hill, motor assisted, at speed :D
