Really annoying charity collectors on High Street

road_high

Wtf is going on the last few days on High st? I'm nearly afraid to walk down the main street of my own city for fear of being cornered by those bloody charity collectors wanting to sign me up for something- think it's Sightsavers which I know is a good cause but their approach I really dont appreciate!

They lunge forth towards you and try to shake your hand (and then obviously corner you!). I was approached three times walking down from Supermcacs to the Market Cross entrance.. Personally I think they should be banned from collecting at all like this buts that just my opinion...

Chuggers :mad:

I can't even be polite with them any more. Just grunt NO at them.

They're everywhere. They followed me around on my lunch break, and then back into the shop where I worked. Had to threaten him with calling the cops before the fcuker would go away.

Same thing with any of these 'types'... (like cold callers on the phone or at the door), give them a firm but marginally polite 'no thank you'.
That's your conscience clear.
Don't ever engage them. If they don't get the message from my initial 'no thank you' and try to engage with me, then i'll tell them to fcvk off. It's simple really.

I had one call to my door recently.

Politely told him i give to two charities as it is. Listed my two charities. He replies "oh but most people now give to three dont you know?"

*door closes*
