I have several lines I use so it's easy to get away from these folks in just about any situation.
Charity Drives - I tell them I donate to St. Judes, Children's Hospital and the Shriners (which is true) because those are the causes I believe in and I'm positive 100% of my donations go to the people who need it. I support the causes I believe in - not the causes other folks believe in - and that's nothing to feel guilty about.
Boy/Girl Scouts - I'm sorry, but I have nieces and nephews who are selling these items as well and I only buy from them (also true).
Sign My ________ I'd love to but I'm unfamiliar with the details of this ______. I'm on my way to pick up my ___ and don't have time to hear the information now, but do you have literature I can take with me and if, after researching this issue on the internet tonight and deciding that I support it, I'd be happy to sign at a later time or through an online form.
Will Work For Food/Money Folks - I offer any one of them a job pulling weeds at my home for $20/hour (honest offer) and if they'll meet me at the corner of (X&X) tomorrow - they can earn some money. X&X are right by my house but no one has ever shown up to take me up on my offer.
