The Festive spirit and annoying canvassers

[Rich Taff]

Had popped in to Cardiff City Centre to buy some last minute stuff, so was rushing around, when I was approached by the usual hi-viz vested dreadlocked and 'aromatic' Greenpeace Canvasser as I was about to enter an arcade.
Don't get me wrong, I support Greenpeace in a lot of what they do, but canvassers can be intrusive and in some cases try to shame people by raising their voices so people can see 'the guy who hates nature, and wants the planet to boil!'.

The following conversation ensued...

Unwashed Greenpeace guy - "Sir, do you have a few minutes?"

Me - "Not now sorry"

Unwashed Greenpeace guy(now with haughty attitude) - "Why what are you doing?"

Me (still polite) - "Going shopping"

Unwashed Greenpeace guy (raising his voice whilst starting to sound accusing) -"You can shop with Greenpeace"

Me (having had enough of this fool trying to shame me into talking to him, raising my own voice) - "I don't think you understand, I was trying to be polite instead of telling you to ***** off"

I got some laughs, but not from the canvassers

I work it one of 3 ways, I either ignore them flat out, tell them to sod off and get a real job (and after 349 days of my unemployment I still maintain that) and if its Greenpeace I inform them that if I have enough money to donate I'll save to buy a Hummer, which annoys them which I find hilarious

I'd hate to think what I'd end up buying people if I shopped on christmas eve. Probably packets of peanuts, beer mats, 'ribbed for your pleasure's and female hygiene products (dependant on how many pound coins I had left from the bandit)
