Charity high street promo idiots
I have to say the most annoying people on the planet are the charity promo idiots.

Normally dressed in a netball bib, carrying a clipboard and most have ridiculous hair or shoes, they follow you around the shopping centre preaching the need for money for deaf, dumb, blind chipmunks or whatever whilst they get paid £7.50 an hour. If its such a worthy cause why dont you work for free or at least minimum wage.

Normally when they quit and go on to other jobs they even refer back to it as a sales and marketing role.

Charity Muggers
One of my old flatmates used to work as a chugger. He said that his company used to take 75% of the bounty before passing the rest onto the charity.

My former boss
Got approached by a chugger in on her lunch break.

Every objection she raised - "don't have time", "on way to a meeting", "already give to charity" the guy countered brilliantly.

She was sales director of a multi-million pound business, told the guy she was really impressed and invited him to come for an interview - he declined, said he was doing nicely as it was...

Still, he didn't get any money out of her.
