Some of the big charities are awful for guilt tripping. I've had someone shout after me (as I avoid High Street charity salesmen like they're angry bears); "Oh so you don't care about kids with cancer then, that's nice!".

Big companies for all sorts of things are just as bad really, though. Angry official-seeming letters, completely false legal threats, debt collection threats, often for bills that have actually been paid, and all you get when you call is "Oh sorry, administrative error". I just get pissed off with these things now but a few years ago, when a demand for £100 "immediately" was an insurmountable ask, they used to make me pretty anxious. Which is crap even if you DO owe money. When you actually don't and it's "just an error" it's just not on.
