At every entrance, if you cant fund Paxton or Skylynn's travel ball or girl scouts its not my problem. Work some overtime or something.

I’m with you on this one.
The crowd-funding mentality is out of control

Better than starting a GoFundMe or hitting me up on social media or at the office….teaches them they need to get out and work for it. Plus, it’s good people donate to help support the community sports. I have no problem with it as long as when I say no thank you, they let me on my way

No salesmanship, either, like in the olden days. They usually have two modes: Yelling the name of the dumb shite they're selling. And then yelling it LOUDER when people ignore them.

The begging for handouts is annoying af. If you want to provide a service for it sure go ahead. But teaching kids they can beg for shite doesn’t seem like a good learning tool.

You are teaching kids to beg

christian ministries have a stranglehold in my market.
No thank you, I do not need a cedar crucifix. Have a nice day.

Just say "oh sorry I just bought some"

It annoys me too.
I sent out probably 10 or 20 mass emails and text messages to sell raffle tickets for a Yeti cooler so I could pay for Paxxtonne's tommy john surgery while these other lazy parents just go around begging other people for money.

Are we talking about people just sitting there asking for money? Guess because he said Girl Scouts, I was thinking of them doing something or selling something….if it’s just straight up asking for cash, frick that. Selling discount cards,raffles, flowers, cookies, car wash, etc is all good for me

indeed.
If you cant afford it, dont do it. Teach your kid proper values.

Yep. If Easton wants to go to the World Series in Carencro he should wash cars or something to pay for it

Begging for travel ball funds irritates me more than anything.

I find the local Publix stores do not allow these people to setup outside of their stores. Is this local to me or everywhere?
Posted on 3/2/24 at 11:23 am to RogerTheShrubber
I agree. We had to wash car cars and shite when I was a kid. Another thing that irritates me is the “would you like to donate an additional ________ charity” when the cash register clerk is checking me out.

I have to wade through the money collectors to get into my Publix every weekend. It bugs me less if they're actually selling something like girl scout cookies or popcorn or something, but to just stand there with a can asking for donations burns me up. Have a bake sale, car wash, or something.

shite, I find most of them are at Publix
Posted on 3/2/24 at 11:27 am to Strannix
anytime I see rayzyre's momma selling shite I just act like I'm on my phone having an intense conversation.
works every time.
if they "interrupt" me, then how dare them be so rude.

I’ve learned not to make eye contact with these people
