Robért on Highland, which is otherwise a nice store, has twice now allowed anti suicide (????) people to ask for money at the entrance.

Like, how do you say no to them without sounding like a massive a-hole? I hate it.

I just say ‘no’ and chuckle

Or ignore completely, depending on my mood

I rarely see them washing cars or selling baked goods to raise money. Just hounding people while loitering. Like homeless junkies

The worst is when a public high school is asking for money at the local rouse.

Mother fricker I pay taxes to help fund your school, and I don’t even send my kids there, and I have to pay for my own kids school as well as uniforms, and now you want me to help pay more for your shite too.
You don’t need 3 fricking new baseball uniforms every single year.

Here’s a solution: don’t have kids if you can’t afford their forced interests and hobbies.

But why would you lie? Just be straightforward and say you don’t want to.

The scouts have been around forever. They don’t bother me. Some are good troops and not woke. Any other group, I walk on by.

In Jefferson Parish, they stand on street corners at busy intersections asking for donations for a kid with cancer. Many are foreigners and it’s a scam. The news finally did reports on it when so many people started complaining. They also hit you up in stores. Managers who allow this should be fired.

I had to deal with this going in and out of Walmart yesterday. Both times I just acted like I was talking on the phone to ignore them

I’ve reached the point where when I see someone post a gofundme link I automatically think trash and unfriend them.
