| Anonymous Coward User ID: 69514794  Bulgaria09/13/2016 04:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you shocked? People became a tormenting plague to others in order to squize every penny to pay their debt or just survive. The more banks play into reducing the circulating money the more the slaves will be formenting you. Do you want to buy some fresh cookies I'm baking? Almonds,coconut, organic eggs and butter,spices,goji berries, sultans, oat rice buckweath. I'll make you a good price, can I ring you just now? |

I find it ironic that all these “causes” expect you to give a fok. Used to have a sign telling them not to knock but they did anyway… “Tormenting” is a good word. They cant even let you rot in peace…ha ha |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70823438 Hahahaha... I used to associate a knock on the door with a positive experience - now I hate it... "How are you?" they start with. I hate that. It forces me to be rude and abrupt because if you give them anything the are just harder to get rid of...I have to cut them off before they start their spiel - which can go on and on..."What do you want?" I interrupt with... It destroys civility. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 870381 Australia09/13/2016 05:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why do you keep answering the door and the phone then? you know what's gonna happen!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70823438 Actually I rarely do answer the landline. Once every now and then just to confirm that my hypothesis is correct. The door is harder. If the main door is shut I can ignore it but a screen door just lets them know Im home - they don't just go...It's quicker to send them on their way...Then there's the hope of the 10%... |

Kids do not usually phone. 90% of the money likely does not even reach the charity. Likely less than 1% actually to the cause. FUck charity muggers. I have no time for them and will happily bark at the cunts. Its a scam. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72815732  Canada09/13/2016 07:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mailbox runneth over with appeals for money, suggested amount is average $15! I get about 100 per month for all kinds of causes, some more worthy than others. Trash bin fills up pretty quickly. I don't answer the phone unless caller ID shows a familiar name. They're sellin', I'm not buyin'. The calls come from all over the country, area codes I've never heard of, and they never leave a message. Delete, delete, delete. Almost a full-time job. |
