I just had a hard morning's work of volunteer work, selling badges, wristbands and stickers for Father Chris Riley's "Youth off the Street" program. It was rewarding work. It felt good to ambush people walking out of train stations:
"Would you like to support Father Riley's Youth off the Street program?"
"Buy a badge or a wristband for Shine Day?"
I got a lot of sales, but I also got a lot of weak excuses:
"I don't have any money."
"I'm late for work."
"I no speakee english."
"*snub*"
If you've ever done charity work like this, what are some of the excuses you've received? Or what excuses do you give when attacked by these money-sucking non-profit organisations?
