Are freaking scum.

They should be lined up and shot. Some woman asking for money for some unknown charity asked me why I looked sad as I walked into a loving Whole Foods for a salad for lunch.

I wasn't sad. Don't tell me how I feel you rear end in a top hat. Suck my freaking balls!!! I became sad however, because I realized that that person exists.

I hope she walks into the ocean.


Girl Scouts are 100% excepted from this however. Sell me all the cookies you like.

I've seen boy scouts trying to sell bullshit snacks like goldfish and chex mix at 5x the cost to raise money for D.A.R.E, I wanted to tell their dads to gently caress off and knock over their dumbass stand.

Their dads probably wouldn't have knocked over the stand, even if you asked.

she had tiny Italian boobs.
Well that's my story.
No loving joke, I know South Park gets poo poo for not catering to extreme leftwingers lately but their whole episode about "charity shaming" was right on the nose.

What gets me the most is the junior sports teams that aren't actually selling anything, they just want you to give them money to go to their tournaments. It's like, no, forget fundraising, we're just going to have our kids beg for money because it's easier on us and we don't have to keep track of the finances. gently caress that, I sold candy bars out the rear end to go out of town to competitions.

Probably the most egregious example was a few weeks ago when some young woman asked me for donations to "help youths get a second chance at school" for some charity with no website or information and they took cash only. They asked if I could take money out for them. It was pretty obvious that a scam was occurring.

There is a smelly bum who hangs out in front of the CVS and he holds the door open for people. I never give him money, but he provides a service. Grocery store doors are automatic, though, so these people are just parasites who provide nothing to society. They are worse than a smelly bum.

Well maybe she mistook your quest for a salad as you being a "sad lad". Did you ever think of that OP?

I was sitting in my car in the parking lot one time and a guy walked up and made eye contact. After he got my attention he inquisitively held up his clipboard as if to say "hey i have this clipboard. would you be interested in putting your name on it" or "Hey, would you like to know what's on my clipboard?"

I shook my head, as if to say "no" or "leave me alone"


He left me alone and went and bothered people that were not in their cars.

That's what I'm saying, and then the money you give them perpetuates the failed drug war by going to the propagandists at D.A.R.E.

One time I went to get lunch and on my way back I was carrying my lunch.

A person on the street aggressively pointed at me and said loudly "I know THIS guy wants to give me money!"

I walked past him without acknowledging that he said anything. I wish I had pointed back and said "I know THIS guy is about to be disappointed" or maybe said "no i don't" or something.

The red cross can suck my dick but some supermarkets let small clubs set up outside for donations. And some of those I don't have a problem with. I hate when cashiers ASK you if you want to make a donation to whatever cause. It's like they are calling me out when I tell them 'no thankyou'.

I always give the guys from the youth boxing gym a couple bucks though. They always set up a table with photos and trophies from their meets and whatnot. There will be a single dude there usually dressed very well no matter what time of year. Always a super nice guy. Boxing club guys, you do it right.

Fund raisers sitting outside the supermarket/hardware stores (bunnings for example) selling hot dogs for $2.50 are also exempt because they're providing a critical service as well as raising money for sport teams, scouts and Hitler youth and good on em.
