I always tell these people I have a poor credit rating and that it is not worth their while/They don't tend to want to know after that!!

Personally I love buskers, I have worked as a street performer and know how hard it can be so I always give change to them, I also have no issue with collections, if they passive and will normally go over to give spare change. What I don't like is in your face peeps, would you like electricity, can I just talk to you about a DD for disabled kids, etc etc...
I must admit one persistant person was pursuing a poor lady across a road and I did say to my other half 'I wonder when this constitutes assult and I can hit him?' OK I had no intention of hurting him, as anyone who really knows me would know, but he seemed to take the hint and backed off. Normally I just say not interested, sometimes 3 or 4 times. I give charity when I chose, not when people harass me into it, also no offence but there is a different charity there EVERY week! If I gave a £50 dd to them all my kids would starve, I do what I can, when I can, and pressure never works on me.
ON religious encounters I just have to share my friends solution. First some background, think my size (heavy build, broad) but 7ft (yes he is that tall) and size 15 shoes... Now add a ground scraping black leather coat (custom made), morpheous style hair and glasses... He sees them coming down the street knocking on various doors so has time to get in all this and put on the 'Devil worshipper' song on the CD player....
knock on the door.. opens to reveal a mad grinning 7ft, black leather clad, dark glassed, door filling bloke to background devil worshiper rock music with candle lit hall... 'Come in my friends' he says...
Strange they ran, and were never seen on the estate again ;)
Being a sad (sick humoured) sort of person I love it all ! I have no money, no job, but it really cheers me up wasting other peoples time and money ! heres a few things i get up to ,
Junk Mail...In all those fabulous offers there will invariably be an pre paid envelope . I collect all the mail and stuff as much as I can into it and somtimes selotape it on the back and post it ! often the postal weight exceeds the postage paid but so what ! I'm sure company xyz will be happy to pay the excess when they see all the fabulous offers available !
Religious people.. Please come in and stay....nice chat , maybe later we could all go on a cat stabbing expedition? awww! come back I want to see some more of your stuff, It really makes me so horny !
Street sellers Great, they have no way of checking anything I say, sign me up ! I'm the prince of Denmark I am !
Phone sales , Did you know each call has a commercialy viable time? the longer you chat the more it costs them. I try to keep them on the line for as long as possible using such diversions as you say your calling from company xyz is that in Manchester? really ? where abouts? I had an aunt there, what was your name again? didn't I know you from somwhere ? etc etc etc My longest was about 30 minuites then they hung up !
Well the village is for nice friendly people and probably the liveliest and safest place to go in the whole country where all everyone mixes in perfect harmony. Life’s fuck up’s do not belong there and stand out like a big fat boil.
This has got me thinking a little bit.
Has anyone tipped a McDonalds worker? Probably not. And what for and why?
But you may well tip a shite waiter in a lousy restaurant, following a horrendous meal.
Time, place, people and circumstances, maybe?
I find that if you simply say a firm no thanks then people canvassing on the streets will leave you they dont just ignore them and carry on,youve been polite and put your point across.
As a telesales canvasser people do piss me off who cant have a bit of respect for the people who call them,ever think its the shite companies thats the problem not the individual on the phone?Talk about shoot the messenger!If you dont want calls get the TPS then you cant moan anymore.
And as for The Big Issue sellers,theyre doing summat,not sat on their arses and that takes balls and deserves you dont wanna buy one then dont,why winge about it?

I understand the thing about not having a go at the homeless etc but I don’t understand the “shall we say discuss certain thingsâ€.
Has somebody or something upset you in this thread?
If a black person actively campaigned for tolerance and understanding towards black people yet showed intolerance towards another minority, potentially victimised group then, yes, I would offer the same thought.
That is not ridicule, it was not a cheap gag, it was trying to show hypocrisy at work. Obviously went over your head.
I wasn't going to reply to this thread again, but I can't resist, hey.
This thread does seem to have got a bit out of hand and off topic, but here are a few random thoughts....
I have sympathy for genuinely homeless people, but I'd say that a fair amount of the people that beg are not really homeless... take the guy who sits with his dog every day near Preston Railway station... he doesn't pester anyone, he sit quiety and looks miserable - that is all he needs to do to earn up to £100 a DAY by people giving him small change (I know this figure to be true cos he goes and changes his small change for notes in the shop across the road)... .... now come on, I don't earn that much a day - do you? For doing fuck all! And he claims benefits, AND he has a council flat paid for by whom? Not by him that's for sure.
Just consider, if you do give your change to people on the street, what this actually means! A gesture that makes you feel good - but actually, if everyone gave these people 20p it bloody well mounts up. Actaully, I might have a change in career myself :shock:
Anyone got change for a cup of tea???
Anyway, the issue of the "homeless" is an aside really.
It's the people who try to sell insurance, accident damage, market research, catalogues etc that are the most annoying and sometime downright aggressive. I really do think that there should be laws against that sort of harrassment. It is slightly different from door to door salespersons or telesales cos it is just sooooo damn intrusive.
Anyways, I am going to continue NOT to give money to anyone on the street, and I'm going to continue to ignore anyone who tries to flog me something that I have not asked for. Call me rude, call me arrogant. yeah I am. SO?
blue this has all got out of hand because of me passing comment on something. In all honesty i feel sad that people now adays carnt express their oppinion without getting judged on talk about society judging but in fact those people are the same judging me for 1 comment, i think its sad that people carnt have freedom of speech without people taking it to heart as if it was a comment passed towards them......................................... i was always brought up to respect people and their oppinions and trust and believe in people untill they give you a reason not to!!!!!!! i never thought everyone would kick off, i used to enjoy it on here but in all honesty its pissed me off, ive never before had such a frosty reception, and i hope them people are happy with making me feel insecure in respect to my oppinion.
4 years ago when i was at school we used to have debate classes you know on abortion etc.............. even on racisim and people were 100% honest with the way they felt, but people who could relate to the comment i.e people of different race were not affected buy this once we left the respected everyone else's view and thoughts and we used to debate and argue in this session once it had finish the school NEVER has trouble really with kids as this was the time to express the way you felt without being judged for it.
Its a shame adults carnt put this into action, and comments like along the lines of "i carnt wait to meet this people face to face" is quite childish, infering that something will be do about this thread. Personally i take that comment as a threat but, people are intitled to anything they want to say. Maybe one day mutual respect will actually come into place and then maybe these sort of things wouldnt happen?????
hmmmmmmm
wasnt this about street canvassers and phone reps
you lot really need to go chill out
as for giveing money to street people
i thank god for the kind people who took pity on me they truely were my saviours
they saved my life with the odd spare change they gave
and not everyone chooses to become homeless and have to beg
to live
you lot wanna go try it
and stop being so judgemental
There is one thing I do not do.
I never give to someone who has a dog which looks better fed than the owner.
