Best way to get rid of charity workers?

Lands Leaving

I've taken to saying to concern workers that 'I'm not concerned' but its lost on the other halfwit hippies on every street in town. How should one deal with the threat of giving at this festive time in a quick and appropriate manner.

Oh and I'm not evil, I'm just already signed up but they politely ignore that if you tell them.

Hang on! Charity workers or charity muggers?
Being a prick to people that are genuinely donating their time to help (somewhat) worthy causes makes you a prick. Being a prick to chuggers is fine and soon - sport*.

I used to suffer from this on a twice daily basis. I ended up responding with random phrases i.e. No thanks I already support Man United. That usually left the chugger confused for as long as it would take me to escape past him/her.

Failing that, a flame thrower.

A shovel to the back of the head should solve your problem but then you have to get rid of the bodies.

Oh no the muggers getting paid to wind you up. Again NOT evil.

Three questions: Can you ride a horse? Can you ride a horse in a built-up / urban area? Can you use any weapon while doing so?

Replace horse with bike and there's a plan I can work with.

No dice. Horse or nothing. Them's the rules; them's the laws. You're useless to me. Just ignore the chuggers or something. bah!

Then you can be charitable and donate the bodies to medical research.

Useless? Useless? Dice?

Meh I say. Here I am offering a compromised solution and what thanks do I get??

:mad:

Karoma- Give me a few days to get back into the rythm of horse riding, and I'm sure I can help you.

Evil chuggers. I just tell them I'm broke, live at home, have no job etc.

I think I'll tell the next one I'm pregnant, and dumped and need any money I have for the poor illegitimate baby I will be having (actually that may tempt fate :eek:).

Oh or you could ask them how you can get some of that money where to sign on to recieve.

Or a firm "No, however I will get you some coke/tea etc, being on the street is hard"

Or "I don't speak english"

Or "I already have X, Y, Z, so I can't afford any more, sorry"

Perhaps you should say "no thanks".

You're obviously interested in the donate work tools to farmers scheme. Well done. For a just few dollars more (less than the price of a few es) per month might I interest you in donating some chainsaws too so that you can participate in one of our deforestation projects. Or for our premium package, you can sponsor an entire army of child soldiers. But if you have any reservations, you neednt worry, the tiny percentage of your money that isnt taken as administration costs and wages wont upset the delicate balance too much. Have a nice day.

Avoid eye contact. That should make things all ok.

Can't say that I've ever noticed these "chuggers" that your talking about.

I do occasionally encounter some crazy guy, usually wearing a blue tabbard or similar, that jumps out in front of me whilst I'm walking down the street. I generally just keep walking after I've knocked them out of the way although they do sometimes shout something about if I'm concerned about my sight or some such rubbish.

If I'm approached by a charity worker, I just walk by quickly while saying "no, thank you" in a very loud voice. Has not failed me so far.

If they are just quietly standing/sitting off to the side, I'll normally spare a couple of Euros (unless the place is chock a block with charity workers, then I'll just give money to the first one).

What ever happened to "No, F*ck off like"?

Mr. Incognito

Give them some dodgy coke.

Carry around clipboard and they'll think your one of there own and leave you alone. Failing that, practice scrunching your face up till you look like a demented hound of hell and watch em cower in fear ...

say "already a member"... one of my friends used to this and it always worked like a charm.

If you looking young enough you can say you're only 17, as they're only allowed talk to those 18+. Handy when you're 18 ^_^

Other than that ensure you've headphones of some sort in and look them in the eye, shake your head and smile. They'll always smile back. It's a nice shared moment

Hold out your hand and say "Spare change?"
