Rude more than immature in real life but on the internet it happens a lot and its a mixture of both

Ugh yeah I hate chuggers as well, it's a form of harassment in my opinion - if I am walking down the high street, I don't want somebody trying to step in front of me to stop me from going to my destination to try and guilt trip me into giving money. If I want to donate money to charity, I'll do it in my own time.

so, some older and younger people can at times online and in real life be rude?....
I agree :laugh:

Every lunchtime I have to navigate the gauntlet of Chuggers that is Hammersmith Broadway. Over the past year I have noticed a militant shift in their methods. Gone are the days they would politely ask, in a very British and demure way, if you possibly had 5 minutes to discuss climate change/cancer research/hair-lipped slum kids/African water crisis/depressed donkeys in desperate need of breast implants in Peru. Now they leap out at you all teeth and faux mirth and use such phrases as “Excuse me, madam, are you a nice person?” which, when you are in a hurry on a 30min lunch break, you have no option but to answer ‘no, sorry’. Last week one shouted enthusiastically “Hey Miss, do you care about people with cancer?!” Mouth half-full of tuna sandwich, I mumbled my standard ‘no, sorry’ without engaging my brain and felt **** about it all afternoon. So, already feeling like a heartless bitch who detests cancer sufferers, one approached me today and, without speaking, clamped his sweaty hand around mine and physically dragged me over to his table to tell me about some charitable cause. Real. Physical. Contact. And breeeaathh. Ok. a) Don’t touch me b) Don’t make people feel bad about charity they can’t afford to give when people are struggling to feed their own families c) Get a real job d) Seriously, don’t touch me. e) Have a shower. f) Here’s £2 to have a shower #somethingsareworthit

Prohibition is a horrendous idea and no drug should be illegal.

Social workers tend to be people who want to genuinely make a difference, not be invasive and nosey for the sake of it.

My idea of fun over the weekend doesn't extend to dancing in a jam-packed room until dawn.

:worship: that status!

Licences for keeping all domestic pets should be reintroduced.

People should have to retake their driving licences at set intervals throughout their life, expecially those who drive for a living.

Convicted pedophiles should agree to chemical castration as a condition of release from prison.

I get the worst of both worlds with chuggers, feel rude if I ignore them so end up getting drawn into a conversation but never have any intention of giving any money so I end up awkwardly leaving having just wasted my time and theirs

There should be caps reintroduced on private rental properties, and the same occupancy guidelines as for social housing.

What do dots mean I forget...?

I just say I'm under the age of 21 if one approaches me (apparently it's they can only get money off people over the age of 21) even though i don't even look 21

alot of these have turned out to not be controversial :suspect:

The further south people live the more annoying they are.
Parliamentary privilege should be removed and if your MP is rubbish/ corrupt they should be sacked.

:laugh2: I agree with this so much as well

Opposite (obviously)

northern accents are just generally annoying and all my family are northerners fortunately my parents moved down south to give birth and raise me and my siblings

just needing a bit of fixing, much better

Cities are god awful places to live

There is nothing good north of Birmingham

''alright there nathan pass us t'remote please''

t' in front of every word, calling every family member ''our ___''

Speaking in general, obviously, but if I met two groups of English people - one from the north, one from the south, I'd be drawn to the northern group and probably hate the southern group because they have totally different types of banter and as a Scottish person it's a lot easier to get on with a northerner than a southerner... I have southern friends obviously, but if I was met with a large crowd, I'd never be drawn to the southern one.
