As the high streets open up again and Chuggers return let's have a lighthearted conversation as to whether they are angels or the devil himself or fall somewhere in-between ?
What are your tactics on seeing that person in a hi viz jacket with a logo locking eyes with you
A, stare at the ground and increase walk to wrap speed
B, put people between yourself and them
C, approach for a chat with your credit card saying where do I sign up
D, sign up because you're to nice to say no
E, cross the road
Or something else
Love to hear your funny stories

The door knickers have already been out for a few weeks - really irritating.
I never buy anything that way so totally not interested in their “free” house improvements. I just say no thanks to chuggers of any kind - I know they are just trying to earn some money but don’t like my space invaded. |

Fundraising doesn’t work as effectively without asking, in all its form, and it’s their job. I loathe the idea that some charities still can’t train staff to understand where monies go to, or donations are broken down etc, as I think that they are fair questions.
I usually acknowledge, smile and walk on by. I’ve previously given that way but feel like I prefer to keep it more local to myself now. |

To be honest if they get in my way I generally tell them I have a DD with Make a Wish (I do, it’s not a lie) and can’t afford more. I pay to that charity and it guarantees my place in heaven when I die.
