Anyone else tired of getting bombarded for donations and fundraisers?

No, I don't want to buy whatever you're selling for "the children."

It never stops. How about you pick up an extra shift or get a side hustle to pay for your kids' shite.

We'll get Jaydon to the world series in Panama City by any means necessary.

It has really slowed down since the first of the year! There is always an uptick right before Thanksgiving and lasts until New Years. Haven't noticed anything different this year versus previous years.

No, I love it.

Reminds me how fortunate I am not having to beg for shite from strangers.

It's amazing. Have some pride in yourself and quit asking for money.

That is always the biggest time of the year to hit people up for donations. Businesses and individuals have a good idea how much they will make for the year and how much they might need to give for tax purposes or how much they can afford to give

No kidding.


When they hit you up for $5, ask them to sign a form that says you're not responsible for the bill.

I learned through my son’s travel team...it’s called ‘shaking cans’, and I don’t let my son do that shite.

Swear to God an acquaintance posted on Facebook how she was proud of her college freshman daughter for being "industrious enough to think through and figure out a plan to pay for her own new laptop without any parental assistance whatsoever!".

The plan?

Mom was kind enough to link the GoFundMe and offer thanks and prayer to friends and family who will help in daughter's hard work.

I would fund something like this if I got a percentage of all future earnings. Even if 0.5%. If she suggests she cannot make it without a computer, I help fund the computer then she should refund my investment. If she flunks out and goes to prison then I lose my investment. If she succeeds then I was an intragal part of that because she wouldn’t have made it without me. I bet she would never agree to those terms.

You would be better off just eliminating the middle man and asking for a blowjob with this one. There for the sorority function tees.

I have a kid in kindergarten so it’s my first time being on this side. I don’t like how they push you to shill so much. Special prizes and privledges if you get more money for the school.

I really thought I was the only one who noticed this and was bugged by it. Figured it was just because I'm a horrible person.

Easy to not donate when you dont have kids.


"If I wanted to pay for that I would have my own kids" this comment will alienate you from the trashy poor people
