I fucking hate charity muggers. I see them every fucking day. People are starting to get smart to their tactics, so they've been dialing up the pressure recently.

I hate everything.

Thanks for the healthy laugh, anon. What a nice story.
But yeah, I share your frustration with these assholes. I haven't exploded like that yet, but I hate how they try to guilt you into giving them money and use people's fear of being judged in public against them. I am not giving them any money, cancer or not.

Are you autistic? Just say no and move along with your day. How fucking pathetic do you have to be to feel threatened by some charity workers.

I'm 0% autistic, but these fuckers piss me off every day. I just want a relaxing walk and they literally fucking ambush you. This shit should be illegal.

You should always ask them, loudly, how much of your donation goes to the charitable cause and then ask for proof of whatever they claim.
If they do not know, or fail to provide proof, then you accuse them of being conmen relying on emotional extortion.
Make yourself an obstacle and they will begin to avoid you.

The day you realise that 'not for profit' doesn't cover the salaries of the people running the gig is the day you begin to wake up to the charity con. They have to make their accounts publicly available and if you look at the books of shit like the NSPCC (a fucking grift who run some phonelines with 'experts' on the end) its a shock to see how much they pay themselves. Plus they don't have to provide any proof of the amazing work they do due to 'client confidentiality'). Some are better than others but little of the dosh raised achieves anything other than lining pockets

TLDR

Just walk by and don't acknowledge them. Every time a self-checkout system asks me to donate $1 to children with cancer, I say no.

Just remember that the vast majority of these charities are scams. Either write out a personal check to St. Jude, Shriner's Children Hospital (both of which don't charge the families for medical care), or an individual family that needs the help.

Just consider all the money that has been raised for cancer research and (((awareness))) and how little progress has been made in cancer treatments in the last 120 years, and you can be sure that your donation is not money well spent.

In today's episode of "Autism Our of Control", anon loses his mind when politely asked for money. Watch our how he loses his mind because of his inability to regulate his emotions instead of simply declining and walk away.

Cancer is one of the most profitable, if not the most profitable.
There has also been very little causes of cancer discovered. Almost everything "may" cause it though.

I'm completely aware of these type of tactics people use to try and get money out of you, and yet every single time I live it in real life I fall for it.
I ordered food at burger king and they upselled me and I fell for it, it's like whenever I get a suggestion like that I think to myself that there's no way I'm making a bad choice. I can't even use the excuse to say that I'm stupid because I know these things, but it still happens.
