I usually just say "no thanks" to folks like these and keep walking. That way I'm being civil by not ignoring them and at the same time not parting with any cash.

One time a friend and I were cornered by a clipboard carrying girl on Grafton Street. She started to blab away and before she could get much further I said "In all fairness, if you're going to ask me for any money, I'm sorry, but I really can't spare it" (which was the truth at the time). She literally said "No problem, this isn't anything to do with money", so I let her carry on, expecting her to ask us to sign a petition or answer a few questions or whatever. After a minute she comes up with the phrase "so it'd be just 10 euros a month, which we can take from your bank via a direct debit".

So obviously at that stage, I point out that this is actually "about money" which I already said I couldn't spare. "BUT DON'T YOU CARE THAT CHILDREN ARE DYING?" was her rather loud and agressive response.

Raped her.

I do this too. Now most of them know me by sight and they just smile and say Hi before mugging some poor person walking behind me.

 

[flashback]

Go on out of that Squiggle.

You rape them with your eyes.

 

[Squiggle]

You rape them with your eyes.

Well, there is that too, but it makes them feel special.

 

[sweetoblivion]

Raped her.

no need for that, in fairness.

I must look either impoverished or unhinged cause they always leave me alone.

Unhinged. Definitely unhinged.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Well I do spend so much time trying to look unimpoverished.

i dont usually get approached or if i do i usually have a big grin on and i point at my earphones like a smug bastard and chortle to myself as they probably curse me aloud.

 

[the departed]

right. it seems theres no escaping them now. a dude with a bucket of money just came into me in work and asked both me and money from the shop...
i couldnt be rude cos there was customers in.

 

[Johnnyc]

Sounds like someone just "crossed the line".

 

[RSJ]

You shoulda taken his badge number and reported him.

in hindsight yeah defo. at the time though i just couldnt believe his cheek to come in and ask a staff member for money from a shop.

 

[nEiLo]

I like this one but I don't think I'd be brave (or is that rude) enough to do it. I say "no thanks" and weirdly they often look very confused.

Staring at them from far away and shaking your head as you walk toawards them works but it makes me feel like a prick.

he looked like this

I don't care how horrible this make me sound: just say "fuck off". Abuse is literally the only thing that works, or the threat of physical violence, they really don't give a fuck if they're annoying you, or if they're invading your space, and therefore should be treated with as little respect as they treat you..I actually headcharged one of these fuckers one evening on the way home from work after I'd politelty asked him to leave me alone from just outside the palace on Camden street all the way nearly to Point Click.I stop, turned, and ran at him.He got the message.

 

[Willie Willions]

Why don't they just go on the dole?

I think I'm going to do this in furure - especially if I dont have headphones on.
