AIBU for shouting piss off to a street fundraisers.

[misspedantic]

I am fed up with these people trying to mug me for my bank account every time I walk out of a shop. Today there was 12 of them along my high street, working for 3 different charities and after being asked how I was or am I having a nice day or have I got a spare minute 7 times, I shouted "PISS OFF". I seriously can't cope with it everyday.

AIBU for wanting to land a drop kick to their heads tell them to leave me alone.

you sound like a bad tempered Ned
whilst chuggers are annoying,most moderate people can decline and walk on without reverting to potty mouth rebukes
not you though

I was once accosted by a guy for shelter who asked me if i would like to give money to the homeless. At the time we lived in council homeless accommodation.

Me: no thankyou
Him: don't you care that there are children without homes (i was pushing my son in his pram)
Me: I don't have a home and neither does my son, are you going to give us money?
Him: I don't believe you, you dont look homeless.
Me: You don't look like an ignorant twat but you clearly are

I think calling her a bda tempered ned is extremely harsh. At best these chuggers invade your personal space at worst they stalk you down the street harassing you as they go.

In these circumstances I think a piss off is more than forgivable.

as opposed to shouting piss off in real life
like it or not chugged is a job,fills fridge and all that
shouting piss off in rl is Ned behaviour

As I said, in circumstances where chuggers ignore previous polite requests to leave you alone and continue to harass and irritate, a piss off is more than justified.

you use emotive words without understanding
chuggers don't stalk stalking is a serious sustained event over time,not an unwanted interruption on high st

I think you'll find I understand perfectly well scottishmummy.

And yes being followed down a street with a chugger in my face certainly makes me emotive.

YABU, but they are annoying.

A chugger from a very well known childrens charity blocked my path a bit aggressively when I was heavily pregnant. I just said no and kept on walking around him and he yelled after me "you obviously dont care about your unborn child either then". Not the worst insult I know, but not nice to have this yelled at you in the street.

I wrote an email complaining to the charity and the only result is that they have added my email to their database and now send me begging spam every week despite me asking them to remove my name.

Weirdly they are a charity that I would support, but this put me off completely.

if you think chuggers stalk folk
you clearly don't understand the words you use

harrass and irritate are subjective,so fair enough

but stalking,no you're way offmark

Offmark? A bit like your punctuation then.

lol is that your best put down?
try harder
it's lame

Not a putdown at all, merely a statement of fact scottishmummy.

Whoah. You two play nice, now.

indeed,I don't fret about spelling pedantry online
clearly you do

I had a particularly sneaky chugger last week. I was walking down the road with a friend and had DD in a sling. He came up to me and asked me where I had got the sling. I told him, he asked how much I paid. About 90 quid says I . 'That's quite a lot of money, isn't it?' came the reply.
Oh I can see where you are going with this!
I told him that the woman over the road had paid about £1000 for her pram and carried on walking.And for a second I actually thought he was interested in Babywearing, the cheeky sod.

(not meaning to offend anyone with prams or buggies, I have two. )

YANBU - they sound even worse than those dreadful touts that hang around every street corner flogging scratch cards and time shares abroad.

baby wearing,thats such a wanky term to describe a baby product
but then my baby prison was quite pricy.but immobilized on wheels don't come cheap

YANBU - my DH loves them as he walks so fast all he ever hears is a plainitive "but what about the children..." as he leaves them in his wake.
