    Charity Muggers = Chuggers. I prefer the term "Chunts".

    I remember once a friend and I were walking down Grafton street, we saw two chuggers harassing an old woman, she clearly was trying to get them to leave her alone, we went over and said she wasn't interested ( she was trying to keep walking but they kept blocking her way, after we told them to leave her alone they left, she asked us if she could use one of our phones to ring the guards, she told them on the phone what happened, the guards about five minutes later came down, she saw them and pointed the two out (who were harassing someone else at the time) they promptly went over and arrested the two chuggers for harassing the old lady. not sure if it was actually brought any further though

    I had problems with three of them within a 50 metre stretch today. None of them would take no for an answer and only backed off when I asked them for a lend of money.

    C*nts.

    Had one of them call to the door this evening and he was way over the top: hands flailing about and ranting off about the weather. Their tricks don't work on me.

    I chugged for a couple of years about ten years ago in London and it was great fun. Good money, few pints every lunchtime, travel to the seaside regularly etc. and trust me, the London public are a lot harsher critics of chugging than the Irish(we worked occasional weeks in Belfast and Dublin).

    And of course we very occasionally got insulted by people. But it was only very rarely. All the keyboard warrior tales on here of telling chuggers to fuck off and the like crack me up. You might get told to f off once a week at most in reality. Most of you just look away or try not to make eye contact. Which is fair enough.

    It's been 8 years since i did the job, and looking back I wonder why I did, but it did help to progress my career by moving into management.

    Now when I see a chugger I just say "Sorry, not got the time".

    Who do you think this is ?? :confused:

    My reasoning for asking your height was I'm fairly tall and well built and these lads and ladies give me a wide berth.

    I did chugging for one day for PAWS. Never went back, quit after like 2 hours.

    We were told to wear short skirts and low cut tops.
    Should've known from the start really.

    Oh, sorry, misunderstood. Don't think height etc comes into it really, a polite but firm "no thanks" works for me every time.

    A lot of Steven Segal types on here though, looking to (keyboard) knock peoples (warriors!) teeth out! :D

    If you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna go somewhere and he won't let you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next.

    :D

    just give them fake names addresses, & bank account details... if everyone started doing that it would soon become not worthwhile being a chugger

    Are any you aware that you're not actually required by law to engage with them?

    When I see them coming towards me like I'm their long-lost brother I just say "Sorry, have a good day." They'll usually return the pleasantry and I continue on my way without breaking stride.

    On Talbot St. the other day some big fat pig of a girl actually stuck her leg out in front of me while asking my name.

    I find by increasing pace and essentially banging into them that usually puts them in their place. As they move to obstruct my path it is not my fault if they get a bit of a shoulder off me.

    Although lately I have found myself to be drawn into their line of fire and playing a game of human bowling with them, knocking them out of my path. They tend not to be so friendly and curious of my name after that.

    Immense sense of satisfaction after.

    no you don't. You sheepishly walk past them avoiding eye contact and mumbling "sorry" under your breath, just like all the other keyboard warriors here.

    You are all so full of crap.

    Why would I say sorry?

    It is very easy to bang into them, and they can't say a word as they have to be all happy and annoying to the next person.

    I think you might be referring to a dream you just woke up from, rather than anything that happened in reality

    Of course they can say a word, stop talking drivel. Also if you intentionally walk into someone who is standing still, you're a bully. Now climb back behind your keyboard and pretend you are a big man again.


    Funny thing is they probably all earn more than you, if you work at all.
