It pisses me off. I beat my wife, kicked the hell out of my dog, and threatened to knock the shite out of the kids selling stuff.
I hope we can come together and lift each other up and get through this difficult moment in our lives:

We pay $170/week for DAYCARE. The snooty bitch at the front desk gives me the evil eye everytime she asks me if we want to participate in whatever fundraiser they are doing this month and I tell her that we pay plenty not to be bothered by this BS. If they needed money that bad they wouldn't have built a 3rd building

They are annoying. I’d rather just give the school money than feel obligated to sell candy to my coworkers on behalf of a kid.

I used to buy the whole box from my kid and set it in the break room at work with a $2 sign on it. If somebody wanted one then stick $2 in the envelope. Otherwise no worries. I never even put my name on it.

Daycare fundraisers are beyond ridiculous. Most daycares are for profit. Why the hell are they having fundraisers?

I always tell them to 'Stay in School'.

I'm also young, handsome, 6'1 and 195 lbs...so they all giggle.

Has been for years.

Our school has a buyout option, you pay $150.00 and it covers the year.

Please use the PlanetFundraiser app, select my Booster club, then take a pic of your grocery store receipt and upload it. That’s it and we get $...... thank you

I remember once a guy’s kid was selling flower bulbs. He was liked embarrassed and just kind of meekly pulls out the order form.

I was like “here, just give it to me”.

The elementary school here is selling trash bags for a fundraiser.

If I wanted trash bags, I would go to the store.

I buy one thing from the first student who gets to me for each fundraiser. I usually don’t spend over $15 per, but I bought a sweet float of strawberries for $25 today, so I’m kind of excited about that one. Our school usually does about 10 fundraisers per year, so $150 doesn’t set me back too much. Now the fundraisers my own kids have to do are ridiculous. $25 for 24 Dasani waters? Nope. I think fundraisers are worse at the elementary level.

I respect those whose pay this. I despise the ones who don’t .

They had the option to pay a measly $150, but they were so shittty they chose instead to make their kids bums who prey on neighbors and relatives, Sad and pitiful.
