    As the title said why so ignorant?
    I was sitting at the central bank today waiting for a friend, there were some chuggers around when this one fella waved and said hello to a passing women when she just shouted f++k off? Now i know these guys can annoy ye sometimes but it turns out its the young lads first day from what i heard but this really rude arrogant woman really upset the poor kid! I say she should be ashamed of herself tbh has there was no need for it, what do not peoples think?

    All chuggers should be told to fuck off on a daily basis.

    It's not rude. Well, OK, it is rude, but no ruder than an annoying young twat trying to extricate money from you on the street.

    While I wouldn't be so rude, I know people who've done those jobs and they got a lot of the money, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it!

    No there's no need to be that ignorant. A lot of folks lack manners.

    It would be just as easy to ignore him, so yes she was ignorant but she might be fed up been harassed every day. I guess it's what they let themselves in for when they accept the job.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    No need for that at all. Yes they are annoying but it's their job. Just say you've already signed up or point at your invisible watch, smile and leg it. Imagine being on the receiving end of a "Fcuk off" at work!! Not nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭burgermasters


    As annoying as they can be there is no need what so ever to be that rude to anybody? I am sure that lady wouldn't like it if was her be spoken to in that manner when there is no need for it? I stand firm she should ashamed of herself.

    I've always wondered why ignorant came to mean rude over the last while

    Occupational hazard if you're a chugger.

    A charity mugger- one of those annoying "friendly" types who excitedly run towards you on the street, waving a clipboard trying desperatly to get you to donate to charity.

    .....penny drops. Thank you kindly. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭lachin


    Right I googled it... Feel a bit thick I didn't know. So it's either a beer pump or paid charity worker....

    I personally think they are a scourge on the city-scape. The practice should be banned.

    Who the hell can even remember their bank account details, never mind hand them over to a student called Fionn? Fionn wearing a luminous yellow bib and stylised facial hair.

    A polite 'no thank you' normally does the trick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,669 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    Just a "no thanks" and walk on will do.

    More to the point who is going to pass them to a stranger on the street, regardless of his/her I.D!!!

    Elitist, populist crap.
    I take it you have a job and you're alright, Jack.
    For a lot of these young people, it's the only work available.
    At least they're not robbing, begging or spending dole money in the pub.
    I'd be more likely to tell a physically -able begger to "Feck off".

    If you don't want to pay a chugger...."No, thank you" and walk on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    I try to be polite but my patience with chuggers ran thin after the 4,679th time they tried to block my path.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,440 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Now i know these guys can annoy ye sometimes but it turns out its the young lads first day from what i heard but this really proactive, assertive, civic-minded woman really upset the poor kid!
    FYP

    So, quite possibly his last day too? Well done, that woman. Pick them off one at a time. The only form of professional life lower than a chugger is a clamper. And yes, I do include door to door selling and telemarketing.

    Actually, come to think of it, chuggers are third lowest. Politician, clamper, than chugger.

    No good if they insist on following you up the street. F off is too right.
