    Annoying charity worker gets Earful

    I was walking through town today doing some shopping. I was in a hurry and I had a mood on as I couldn't find what I wanted. Can you believe no one sells waist coats here. This lady comes up to me as I'm walking along and asks If I will give her a donation for an abused children charity. Now I never give to these street people because you don't know if they are legit and a lot of them take huge cuts out of the money. I shake my head and keep walking. She follows and asks again and I say no. She tries a third time and I'm still shaking my head. She then says "Fine, I'm sure the kids won't mind". I heard this and turned round. I'm like "HOW DARE YOU FUVKING PATRONISE ME WITH YOUR SHIT". Her buddy runs over and goes "whats the problem" but she gets right in my face all aggressive. I said "You and your mate are ****ing TWATS". I hate these ****ing people harrasing you and trying to emotionally blackmail you.

    i hate shit like that, you can either get in a lot of trouble by knocking them out or walk away and be frustrated the rest of the day.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I always give to the red poppy people in November and that's because they have old soldiers stand there with their Berets and medals on and they don't harass anyone.

    The pushy ones don't seem to understand that you have just said no and get offended by it. Almost like bullying you to get your dinner money.

    To be honest, in the UK, I think they aren't allowed to ask for money as it's considered as begging.

    Dude I live in a city where the panhandlers are always begging for change. Its the same people everyday. I tell them to "get a job" and theyre all like blah blah asshole!

    But there is this one guy everyone calls slippers, his soles of his shoes actually came apart and his toes go through, His sweatpants are torn and buttondown shirt has no buttons. So I can home go and old pair of jeanss that are too big for me and a tee and an old sweater and brought it to him he was so happy, he went got a shower and combed his hair now he works at the local mcdonalds.

    waist coat, you wear it under a suit jacket.

    I need one for work.
    Well the end of the story is I'm shouting at these two girls and My GF has walked across the road and looks very worried so I just say **** it and walk off laughing. The girls dissapeared real quick. This tramp (hobo/bum) walks over and says "hey do you want some advice on getting bigger biceps". I don't know why but it was funny.

    That type of shit annoys me as well. I also don't like people handing out flyers, and when I say no, they still try and give it to me, knowing I'm just gona throw it away...what a waste of paper.

    If she's still working there tomorrow, go grab a handful of Monopoly money from home and make a donation.

    Beggars earn more than I do here!! They all turn up in a big range rover in the morning dressed like crap. They make like £200+ a day.

    The thing that really annoys me is I donate to certain charities of my choice but why should I have to explain this in the middle of the street to some low life? I think a lot of people will feel humiliated and give her money. They think that cos she has a plastic badge on a piece of string she is legitamate.

    You're wearing a "tank top". If it were an under garment and white it would be affectionately referred to as a "wife beater", usually ornamented with spaghetti sauce.

    I think in Dickens' "A Christmas Carrol" Bob Cratchet momentarily thinks of knocking Scrooge down with the ruler and running for some men to come back with a "straight waist coat" when his employer offers to raise his salary.

    Must be "usu. considered antique", as the dictionary puts it.

    -BigLittleTim

    P.S. You look real good in your "vest".

    If you do visit, don't buy your woman any knickers and expect to get panties, 'cause you'll end up with a pair of schoolboy short pants. My best mate is from Sunderland and after 6 years of friendship, I'm finally able to understand him. Gotta love the differences in lexis between Brits and Yanks.

    The worst is when they ask for money and you respectfully decline and they say something like, "Watch out for Karma" or something like that, its annoying i try to help where I can but sometimes the best help is not giving them money

    There is far too much begging in the UK now-a-days .... both legal and illegal. I have a few favourite charities that I give to but that is all. Many of them annoy the fcuk out of me but I won't take any shit from them. A few times my misses has stopped me from doing something stupid to them!
