Mr Gobby   10 #1 Posted July 7, 2016 Since the referendum I seem to have had a large influx of so called charities banging on my door asking for Donations .When asked I politely explain that I don't do donations to charities on my doorstep to which they look at me as if to say why not .Well the reason why not is :  #1: I was having my Bl££%Y tea ,that is now cold, after talking to you .  #2: I know full well by the time you and your mates have taken a cut out of any donation I may give only a small proportion of it will go to the charity IF ANY .  #3 :Charity begins at home particularly as of now where in a period of uncertainty, so all my hard earned stays where it is, in the wife’s purse.  #4: I am sick and tired of these people invading my privacy do they not understand that by trying to lay a guilt trip on me by showing me a photo of some poor B**ger dying of cancer has zero affect. I am now immune and de sensitised to their tales of woe . My conscience is clear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just tell them you already volunteer and make generous donations and prefer not to be asked for more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Gosh, someone knocks on your door and you feel violated? You might be de-sensitised but you do sound paranoid.  I thought you meant something more serious than charity workers when I saw the thread.

And then they get strop on when you tell them you are not interested in giving someone who is paid £7.00 per hour your bank details when you already give enough to charity.
