Bloody Chuggers (1 Viewer)

Great idea unfortunately my irish accent is so strong now that it's not convincing. And anyway I'd rather not engage them in conversation...Spitting on them isn't conversation, is it???

No, spitting is just a more sophisticated form of communication.

Actually, another tactic for dealing with particularly persistent chuggers is to try to out-creep them. Put your arm around them as they start their spiel, then remember, 'spray it don't say it' if you find yourself forced to say anything.

They're hairy because most of the money taken in from direct debits goes toward dreadlock maintenance. It's in their contract.

ah here, the creepy stalker method is all me Jane. Sake.

Although... if a girl, if a girl can manage to pull off a convincing stalkery creepy leer and talk, then it would blow fella's stalker routines out of the water.


It would take some devotion and craft though.

bloody chuggers... FUCKING chuggers more like.

Yes I like Jane's idea of stalker behaviour but to be honest, I don't want to have to waste my breath talking to these chuggers. Like I said, I'd prefer to spit on them but they would probably take that as an invitation to conversation.

I was fucking trying to be polite.

Fuck sake!

Wicklow St is like playing Chugger Frogger (Chogger?). I make it really clear I'm giving them a wide berth, and frequently pretend I'm on the phone, gabbing away while I'm giving them really dirty looks. I try to be really firm with them.

But LavajoNation, you have the same option I do, which is the ability to argue believably that you don't have an Irish or UK bank account. Regardless, though, that guy outside Tesco was way out of line. I know this is splitting hairs, but I'm pretty sure that grabbing any part of someone's body -- possibly especially in order to get them to hand over their bank details -- is considered minor/simple assault under the law. I don't understand why they think that it's okay to intimidate people, or that, even if it works some of the time, that means it's a successful tactic. For one, when someone jumps out in front of you, your nervous system sometimes goes into 'fight or flight' mode. That's no good.

They do very little for their public image that way. I'd be very unlikely to want to give money to a charity who don't care about the people around them. In other words, they consider that getting money for poor people gives them licence to commit simple assault on their donors.

LOL.

Great idea

no it is not a great idea. dont be making excuses just blank them, you eventually learn not to even think about them while your blanking them and your serenity is only mildly interfered with. of course their only doing their job and thats fair enough i suppose but thats not your problem - why cant they get a proper job?

I think he could do his job without physically accosting people on the street.

The hanley centre kids are the worst , they blend into the grafton st crowd so you cant really avoid them .. .. one of them is a dead ringer for Lindsay Lohan though .

earlier this year i was coming out of dunnes supermarket laden down with food shopping and walking to georges street to get my bus home when one of these fuckers jumped out at me from behind a pillar. Now I was tired and stressed cos my dad was in hospital and just totally lost on my own thoughts when this bastard sprung at me so i screamed with fright and dropped my food everywhere. He tried to put his arm around me but I was so scared i just couldnt even react..i called him a stupid prick and told him jumping out at women wasn't exactly the correct way to solicit money and he told me" I was just trying to have a little fun with you" and then ran off..

Let me guess... one of the Barnardos hippy goons that foul Georges Street with their inane -please like me- smiles?

I saw one of them do a little dance and actually curtsy to someone one day

it made me want to kill

A chugger once told me that by not stopping to talk to him that I was an uncharitable scab (in so many words). We had an argument. Cunt.

correct!

 

[KokaneeCowgirl]

correct!

Feck! It was a Barnardos cunt who accosted me yesterday!

They must encourage their chuggers to be assholes.

I'm defo complaining now.

 

[Wilbert]

The thing that really annoys me about these guys is the incredibly transparent "I really care" act that they put out there.

They are getting paid. They don't give a shit about whatever they are collecting for.

"Fuck off" or "go fuck yourself" works a charm for me; blunt and straight to the point.

 

[therealjohnny]

I like it!

theres this perception that by telling one of these cunts to fuck off, you are effectively giving the finger to homeless orphans.

But don't be fooled, these cretins deserve your abuse. In fact when you see one, instead of avoiding them you should cross the street to cast a bit of abuse their way.

Especially the Barnardos medieval hippy assholes.

damn straight. people shouldnt be made feel guilty and as a result be forced into giving to charity. people who will give to charity, do.
the amount of times ive been acosted cos ive got some shopping bags with me is crazy.
a simple 'not today' is what i use now. followed by 'fuck off' or 'eat shit' if they persist.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

im going in to town in a few minutes - i might tell one to fuck off

 

[classic seanc]

I've been walking up and down the hall all morning practicing how to say "fuck off". I'm getting very excited about it now, just as a boxer would before a big fight.
