Yes,, I can't stand young kids packing my shopping either! I have noticed a few over the years, mainly sea cadets? Anyway, you are not packing my bags boys, I never asked though what they were doing it for.... Just give them some change that's all, on the way out.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.
You should have smashed their skulls in with a tin of Heinz baked beans whilst screaming manically "Don't touch my f***ing bags you little ****ing c***s"
Or you could have just gave them 50p, whichever is more culturally appropriate.

I tried that once in Morrisons. Unfortunately I was so enraged that i picked up a packet of Bachelors Super noodles by mistake. The muslim sea cadet was not impressed and i didn't even see the left hook coming. It's always best to give them something i think.
Sorry, well I'm not sorry actually, but I'm not giving money to someone just so that they can go and see a pop concert in London. I just think that it's a cheek.
If they were raising money for a charity or even funds for something that their pack required then a donation would have been made.
Just a pity that they couldn't have each paid £1 a week from January.

Apologies if that makes me a bad person.
You're not a bad person at all!.............Just a miserable tvvat. Wtf is happening when we have people with attitudes like this! What next eh? Telling carol singing kids to fvck off or giving 'penny for the guy' children a slap for being beggars? Get a grip man, they're just kids trying to do their best ffs!
Is it wise to let young people dressed as uncle Albert approach strangers and ask if they need their bags filling ? Are all shoppers vetted and crb cleared before interacting with these sea saltys ?

I'm always happily donate to my local lifeboat rescue, Comic Relief, Macmillan cancer support etc but was a bit narked a while back to be (obstructed) crowded out at an ASDA checkout whilst in mind elsewhere stressed out mode. Sometimes distraction is not helpful.
They did not offer to pack my bags, just wanted cash so their all girl dance-troupe could go on a jolly to London also! ASDA and Sainsbury's (not on this occasion) usually have this fundraising far enough away from the till/bagging area which is O.K.... Then its not annoying! Oh and usually it goes to a REAL charitable cause.

If that annoys you, you probably need to see a doctor mate.
Just bung a quid in the bucket ffs.
I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I have a mother whom is extremely partially sighted. She has lost sight in one eye and has limited sight in the other due to combination of both wet macular degeneration and cataract. She has also had a stroke, and thus is tripping risk haven already fallen previously.
When I take her shopping I have to take care of her whilst shopping for her and thus need to shop without minimal distraction at the same time. I have to ensue clear walking space to limit broken bone injury that she sustained before.
I think you'll find it is not me that needs a doctor!

I share the feeling to be honest. Invasive begging is by far the worst thing though.
Those overly enthusiastic studenty types that jump out and follow you down the street with a clip board and a bright yellow jumper asking you to save our children.
Had one follow me the other day - after 30 seconds of awful sales patter and banter - I stopped and asked him how much the charity pays him to do this, he said proudly "I only take minimum wage". So I said "my fiver is basically going into your pocket as wages to be out here badgering me then?" - he thought for a moment and said "I guess so".
If I gave £1 to everyone who asked for it when out shopping I probably would have to set £30 aside each time just for that. It's becoming an epidemic and I know people that plan their routes when shopping as not to have to run the gauntlet of the "fun beggar types".
A war veteran holding a bucket in silence is dignified and non invasive and will far more likely give to them than those chasing you down the street or interrupting your conversations or phone calls with their version of wacky witt.
If that makes me a grumpy bastard then happy to be one.

You see 30 charity collectors every time you go out shopping?

Are you exaggerating by about 28?
Have you ever been to London shopping?
I was being conservative with 30. There is probably 4 on every street strategically placed so if you avoid one lot you run into the others. Think how many people have to be duped into giving just to cover their wages. Should be illegal.

Yes, and we're generally talking about a trip to the supermarket here and not hours spent in Soho, Clerkenwell etc.

It is indeed invasive begging in a lot of cases where deliberate obstruction, harassment, passive-aggressive, o.t.t downright inconsiderate tactics etc are used. I think individuals having to do other things whilst at the same time having to keep an eye on frail elderly relatives ,wandering young children etc least welcome distraction like that the most.

I mean this with the utmost respect, but the condition you have described your mother as being in, i honestly don't think a busy supermarket is a safe environment for her to be in regardless of the presence of charity/fund raising seekers. I know some elderly people can be very stubborn, but maybe you should insist that she needs to use a wheelchair when undertaking such activities for her own safety. Honestly, this is nothing to do with the thread, i'm saying it out of concern, as you have to accept that the situation you're describing is another accident waiting to happen. Bless her.

Sorry to hear your mam's condition, must be tough for her.
Good on you for looking after her too.
