It is one of those things that I don't quite understand.
Ask someone if they're willing to pay you to sit in a bath of beans as you need the money for booze and pizza and they'll tell you to piss off.

Ask someone if they can spare some money for starving children and they'll give a world weary "gave at the office" type of response.

And yet, combining the two seeems to coax people into emptying their pockets, and handing over the hedge trimmers that they've just got from Argos using a discount voucher printed from the internet.

I use high viscosity bean juice for protection
Along with a couple of friends I did a parachute jump many years ago.
When mentioning this to family and friends the question "who are you doing it for" seemed to be a involuntary reflex action*.
We were the only three on the course who weren't sponsored. We were doing because we wanted to. Any charity element would have been mere ego dressing.

*Mind you it wasn't as bad as the time cica 1990 when, upon us mentioning that we'd booked some flights, my sister-in-law, without a moments hesitation asked my (then) girlfriend if she would be buying a shell suit to travel in.

I can expect a kick in the fucking bollocks by way of a hello?

I fear so.
Nothing personal, you understand, just company policy.
