Talk about annoying shit! [RANT]
 

I stop into the supermarket to grab a few things real quick, and there they are...these groups that set up shop at the exit of a supermarket or convenience store to try and sell you something. You see them going in and now you're like "fuck, I have to deal with these assholes on the way out". Now when you leave, and they jump right in front of you. "Excuse me sir we represent the foundation for children's cancer"...CHILDREN'S CANCER? Now how can I walk away without even listening to the story, I'd feel like a total heel. The (young attractive) girl gives you the bullshit story about children suffering and finding a cure blah blah blah etc. etc. etc. and the whole time you are just thinking "I wonder if she has a landing strip or smooth shave".

Now she gets down to business, and let me tell you...remember the good ol days when they asked for $1? Those days are over my friend! Now they have this ever cute teddy that would be a great gift for a girlfriend, wife or kids for a mere $75, and you'd be helping to save a kids life (Jesus! talk about a guilt trip). Meanwhile your just hoping one of her tit's pops out, or as she bends over to grab one of these sweatshop made pieces of shit from the box under the table that you may catch a glimpse of some nip so you feel you weren't completely robbed.

Now what do you do? You can say no, but you are a dick. You say you have no cash on you...NO PROBLEM, these bitches take credit cards now! They know you were shopping and have your card on you. You're fucked, plain and simple. I wanna say " lady I can get three lap dances and a reach around for this, take the animal and stuff it up your ass!" that would be worth $75.

So you take out your wallet and get taken for your hard earned cash. They use cute girls on purpose because they know we cannot say no. The fat old veteran selling those stupid memorial roses I can walk right by, no problem, fuck him. So, he got shot at 100 years ago. Big deal. the civil war has been over for a long time now. But the girl is so much harder to be rude to. And you can't back out gently, because women are the best at using guilt, they use guilt the way an artist uses paint or clay. They are truly Picasso's in art of making you feel undeserving of everything you have.

Now you walk away after spending $26.97 in the store and it was a $100 trip for you. Plus the stuffed animal you have, which looks like a cross between a monkey and a moose, is so ugly and cheaply made by the Taiwanese children in the factory over seas that you don't even know what the fuck it is. You can't give a mutated animal to a kid so you give it to your dog to chew on...

You want my donation? advertise on TV, put an ad in the paper, don't accost me at the supermarket. The next time it happens I think I may just ask the girl if it comes with a blowjob and then proceed to unzip my fly just to see if that shuts her the fuck up. But I doubt it.

End of Rant.

hah wow. This should be a regular segment on GFY "You know what really grinds my gears....."

ha ha that was my original title, then i changed it.

I don't think I quite have the same thoughts as you do about the girl *LOL* but I know what you mean ...

ok, well maybe i'm a perv...but it's still annoying. :1orglaugh

Lol!!

First thing you should have done was ask for some sort of company ID or something, to make sure it's not a scam. That's what I always do.

Second, you could tell her you already donated, yesterday, last week or last year. Doesn't matter.

Third, if you really want to make a donation, don't do it on the street outside of a supermarket. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but check out the company first.

Fourth, fuck them. It's your money.

did you tell them to GET F@#KED

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i just ignore them and keep walking or saying something like "no it's okay"...yes i don't care about being a dick head because they are bothering me in the first place

You should have said that you had to get another check from your car. :)

I was actually being very serious, lol.

Well, you can just say, "I'm sorry but I'm hurrying to my OWN CHEMO in a few minutes from now. So if you'll excuse me."

or:

"I'm sorry but I have to take a shit badly".

or:

"Hi, I can't stop at the moment, but I will have my assistant at that counter (point to anyone lining up in the cashier) do that for you, ok" (Smile warmly.)

or:

Motion her to come closer and whisper this to her ear. "Leave. Me. The. Hell. Alone. Or. I'll. Murderize. Yah."

Yea i know what ya mean some of them wont let ya leave once they start talking lol

Next time tell her that you can't justify spending $75 on a mutated monkey but, you will gladly fork it over if she is over the age of 18, has two forms of ID and wants to pose for some nekkid photo's :)

I look at those people the same way I do the ones that knock on my door with religious tracts.

In short....fuck 'em

And I wouldn't care if they had Johnny Depp clones panhandling...ermmm...sellling the stuff. In that case I would watch them awhile, sure, but I wouldn't give any money.

i got attacked at the supermarket over the weekend.. these adorable little boys scouts, that were selling boxes of Boy Scout Popcorn...

i told them i had no cash on the way in ( this group didn't accept credit cards ) that i would stop on my way out, after hitting the atm inside.... i was figuring a box of popcorn, $4.00 at the most.... Well, wasn't i a fool...

The little boy after telling me how much he appriciates me coming back, and starts explaining the different kinds of popcorn they have, says "i bet you'd like the one with extra butter, it's my favorite".... so i say "yeah, that sounds great...." i proceed to pull out my wallet, and he said "that will be $15.00 please!"........................ HOLY SHIT.... for a box of no name popcorn......

i spent more on popcorn then i did on dinner for that night! I could have bought a box of the good stuff inside the market for $4.00..............

anyway, my point is...i totally understand how yeah feel, although you got taken for far more then i did....i gotta learn to be more of a bitch when it comes to that stuff.

What these people are doing is using your compassion for other people against you. You may feel sorry for the kids. But you have a right to your own life and money and to spend it as you see fit. Don't let them put you on a guilt trip. They use your goodness against you. They can only screw over good people because they are good. That's the only weapon they have. Your goodness and compassion.

Besides, most of the money you donate very often doesn't end up in the hands of those it's supposed to help. You can bet that this chick is getting paid for putting you into guilt-mode to force you out of your money. Less money for the poor kids. Then there's the guy who organizes the whole thing. He gets paid, too. With your money.

If these people really cared for these poor kids, they wouldn't do it for money, would they? I mean, if they work for free that's another thing. But in most of the cases they are paid. The only companies I would donate money to would be those who don't pay their staff with the money I donate. Everything else is fucking hypocrisy. Putting everyone else on a guilt trip to demand their hard-earned money like they deserved it by right and guilt-tripping you into donating but then demanding quite a big chunk of that same money to put in their own work. Fuck them!

:2 cents:

$15.00 for popcorn!!! is there cocaine in that popcorn? might be worth it then, WTF. It's cheaper at the movie theater and they rip you off as it is.

:1orglaugh that is the best

i look at these people basically the same way i look at the drunken panhandlers. it seems i can't go anywhere without being bothered by one of the two. the panhandlers are easy to say no to. i don't have any problem saying no to the donation assholes either. although i hate it when they have these 10 year old kids asking for money that will help them stay off the streets or some other bs. between the people calling my house for donations, the people coming to my door for donations, the people outside and even inside of basically every major store and the panhandlers who come up to your car, sit in front of stores and everywhere else its impossible to escape but i refuse to give my money to any because of being constantly attacked by these people. if i want to give money i will go out of my way and give it myself, not because some dumbfuck tries to guilt me into it outside of a store, on the phone or while im cooking supper.

So you end up giving them $75 anyway?

how about this: look I have a bad cocain/crack habbit and a family to feed . . always works for me . .

you just walk by, dont even make eye contact and say 'no thanks'

works well

How about pretending you have hearing problems? Just make some hand signals or whatever then go on your merry way.

That's exactly what I do. They assume I am retarded.

works well

I do that as well but I had some fucktard grab my sleeve a while back when I tried to ignore him and his 5 dollar candybars (that I could have bought in the store for 99c) ....I almost tore off his "urban teen" face.

Get a job slacker I work for my $

I hate when they do that and being from NYC I assume its a scam lol

taht woulda been a funny title

Want a fun version that shows complete idiocy by the paid panhandlers?

I was grocery shopping at a local store, I saw a booth near the exit on my way in. I just paid no attention to it. The only ones I stop for typically are the folks trying to get signatures on stuff.

So I do a large amount of shopping, using my own little technique to push the grocery cart in front of my wheelchair. P.S. the wheelchair friendly carts are a fucking joke and only work if you happen to be in one of those chrome hospital chairs with the solid thin rubber tires and the vinyl seating
(another rant all together). Back to the point. I bagged my groceries, reloaded the cart and head out. That's when it all began.

A fairly attractive young brunette who obviously had the brain capacity of a three year old with a two year meth habit, literally stepped in front of my cart that I was pushing. Took hold enough to stop it. Placed her hand on my shoulder, to lean towards me and began to speak very slow and loud.
My first thought was Gee how special, this partially retarded chick is going to give me some have you found god speech or something. Then as I listened to her slow yet loud speech, and ruling out retardation, sensing no southern accent, and doing this while I am fighting an internal struggle of trying t o decide if staring down a retards blouse is wrong or not since she was so hot and she decided to bend over in front of me.

Then it dawned on me that she was wanting money for some cause. I spoke back slow and loud to her as well, still figuring maybe she had some sort of disability. She eventually got around to the point and asked for a minimum contribution of 25.00. Due to tit distraction I had to ask again what she was collecting for. Then it slowly came out of her mouth.

THE (pause) SPINAL (pause) CORD (pause) INJURY (I stopped listening right then). I looked straight at her face for the first time, spoke very clearly and asked if she was fucking kidding me. Did you really just cut off and accost a person in a wheelchair i.e. spinal cord injury to ask me for money to help out people with spinal cord injuries? Good gawd did they just hire you for your tits or because of your impaired speech? She got big eyed and confused. In a normal voice she said she was so sorry. As I pushed away hearing this, I just said scratch the impaired speech reason, your just a hot idiot with tits aint ya. She turned and walked away, from the booth and everything. Not sure where she went but damn I was so annoyed.

I felt slightly bad afterwards. Not for what I said, but for actually staring at her tits when I thought she was retarded.

how about telling them to shut the fuck up, you are having your own damn bills to worry about other then some fuck who is to cheap to get a damn job... works for me

you are weak man, it's not that hard, just tell the you are not able to donate today...

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.

where is x&x? I wouldn't mind scoring $20/hr myself....

too long to read the whole thing, but I feel for you.

I always give them a dirty look and walk away. I have NO PROBLEMS at all appearing as a bitch/asshole.

I don't give a damn about how I look like to people. I also don't donate money. Sorry.

I'm not obligated to give money to anyone. And I DONT.

Since you can see panhandlers from a mile away, just develop the "don't even ask" look.

It works 99% of the time, except against a few Jehovah's Witnesses at your door and Lyndon LaRouche kooks at the Post Office - for them, mace generally works pretty well, unless they are on PCP...

My attention span is to short right now to read all that.. I?ll have to read it when I?m sober?

:pimp

in minnesota?

I don't get it, you're acting like you got scammed and it was this great injustice... Just say "no thanks", it's not difficult.

This thread completely, and utterly, delivered. Was one of the best reads here at GFY, rings nothing but absolute truth! I said long ago that if the red cross wants to get some serious donations at/around Christmas times, fuck having a fat ass santa ring a dinky little bell ? have hot ass chicks in skin tight elf suits prancing around and showing off their big tits and tight asses. Hey, it?s for a good cause god damn it, but jesus christ give us a little something back for every ten bucks we plunk in the bucket.

The ?generosity is its own reward!? line ran out years ago people, give us some action or we?ll stop donating. Fuck stickers/stamps/stuffed animals: MEN WANT TITS AND ASS, not wits and class? well I guess you do have to be P/C and shit, so you?ll probably need to have a chip & dale santa to accompany the hot elf sluts. ANYWAYS, make it a better Christmas this year charity companies, YOU CAN DO IT!
