Stopped continually in town by people with rucksacks.

It is now getting to the stage where I think violence is the only answer.
In the time it takes me to walk from my work to my car through town (5 minutes) I am stopped DAILY by......

The "Have you had any accidents in the past year?" blokes.

A chinese guy handing me a leaflet for his alternative therapy shop.

A big issue seller.

A greenpeace guy who flaps his arms about, tries to shake my hand and asks me if I am having a good day before following me down the road saying it is not going to cost me anything and why am I not interested in the planet.
I get away from him only to be accosted by his mate further down.

A woman asking me if I want a catalogue.

Now, this is annoying enough, but it is the same people EVERY DAY.
I didnt have any accidents yesterday so unlikely to have had one today, I didnt want a threapy leaflet yesterday, I didnt want a big issue yesterday, I didnt want to join greenpeace yesterday and I didnt want a catalogue yesterday.
SO WHY WOULD I WANT ONE TODAY. AAAAAAARRGGHHHHH.

I agree, it is a nuisance. Best to pretend you are on your phone i find.

does it really matter, i dont mind people asking me if i want to take part in a survery or the injury blokes, what i hate is people who ask me if i have any change when they have 2 kids with them, they must have money if they have 2 kids with them,

tell the "accident insurance bloke" that the "chinese bloke" has had an accident with the big issue seller and he wishes to purchase insurance, then go up to the "greenpeace guy" and tell him that the big issue guy wants a promotion, as for the woman with the catalogue,bash her over the head with the dam thing and get "accident insurance guy" some more business .
its a win win situation and hasnt cost u a penny

what really bugs me are the students who collect for the elderly for an hour ,then go to a black bin bag they have and all change coats to collect for disabled for an hour and then an hour later there collecting for sick animals,then they look surprised when you tell them to p@*% off

there's a woman based outside our local shopping centre who homes in on me every time, she is offering photos via the bounty pack for babies and ive heard her ask several non-pregnant woman when they are due !!

I personally scowl and shoulder barge her when she gets in my way, its been 4 years now you would think she would learn :rolleyes: !!!


Do what my OH does and talk to yourself with a bit of a head shake, scares em right off :rotfl:

I find a straightforward "sorry I'm not interested" and some direct eye contact often helps.
