is it difficult to get through the day without thinking about how humanity is a pestilence that should be removed from the planet, or are there some positives in it at all?

It's another case of in your face charity where if you dont contribute our made to feel guilty. Never mind if you would rather contribute to a different charity instead.

Yep, just like those zany students who are getting paid to stop you in the street to get you to sign up to oxfam etc after giving you a scripted sob story. They even have the cheek to ask if you do anything for charity already! As if being paid to get people to donate to a charity makes them Ghandi.

I can assure you they regret stopping me in the street and asking me such questions.

do you often approach people and ask why they have a moustache?

Chuggers. Charity muggers stuck together. Where I work is full of them. You can't move for them when trying to get coffee at lunchtime.

You don't work near moorgate do you??

I genuinely believe they put more people off donating to charity than sign up.

The day my beloved orangutan charity starts using these fundraising tactics is the day I cancel my donation and invest heavily in palm oil.

I love getting stopped by these chuggers. I usually explain that I give to a few charities and cant before any more. Inevitably one of them will say "What about swapping one". The answer of "Oh but which one? The one that keeps little Billy from getting buggered by his dad or the one that is feeding a family of 8 for a month on nothing more than a tin of beans and 4 packets of savoury rice"? They never answer for some reason.

I dont know how you guys have the time or inclination to engage with these "chuggers". I work at London Bridge atm., and I have to walk back past loads of them every day on the way back to Bank, the closest I got was one day one of them said to me: "do you like animals?" to which I replied, "only if they are in a sandwich."

Tbh I felt a bit guilty after that, nothing a quick burger could not put right though

In fairness some of them really are quite nubile. In these cases I stand there nodding politely, eyes studiously fixed on her barely legal bosom. I'll try and last out the conversation until she starts feeling very uncomfortable and has to call over her colleague to rescue her. By this time I am millimetres away from her ear, drooling and whispering over and over that I will gladly sign up to whatever she wants just for a whiff of her farts and a glimpse of her rancid undercrackers
