would the charities like to know that i nearly cancelled my monthly payments to them becuase i was sick of being harassed each and every lunch break by concern, especially since i signed up 3 years ago and these snots were only out collecting cause they got paid, i wonder how many people nearly cancelled.

They are a right shower.
Walking down Baggot Street by the Hospital and Tescos is a f**king gaunlet
around 5pm. They are lined up in 3s so there's no escape.
Saw one accost a girl yesterday but she simply asked him
"are you getting paid to do this?" which stopped him in his tracks.

I cancelled a subscription thing a few months back. They piss me off so much. I was given them money each month but when they try to stop me in the street I ignore them and they say Thank you very much in a very sarcastic tone. W@nkers!! I wanna beat them over the head with those buckets of money!!

I tend to use tactics to avoid them, that failed (rarely) just say something completely out of place, "Im not hungry" works wonders.

I remember once bumping into one of these people and being the nice individual I am agreed to sign up (as it was for charity) - but I didnt give them my bank account number. So she said she would ring me the next day... and sure enough she did. I then told her I'd had a think about it overnight and decided not to subscribe to their moneydrain program whereupon I was left with a beep beep beep sound in the phone... :cool:

Nobs.

My guess is no-one. If anyone ever got into debt because of a direct debit on their account which they could cancel anytime they want then it's due to their own poor management of their finances and they should take some responsibility for their own fúck up.

Why are ye all so against them? They're just working a job to pay the rent/bills etc. If you are too unconfident to tell them no then that's you're problem surely? Telling them them fúck off, get bent or what not is more a reflection on your poor character than anything else.

Edit: the last bit wasn't directed at danniemcq but the post was open already.
