UNICEF collector


Recommended Posts

This was a woman. When i told her we already donated to other charities she wanted to know who and how much. She then told me that my neighbours had signed up so i should as well. When I said no she then asked to speak to my wife*. It felt like very hard-sell, foot-in-door, double-glazing salesman tactics.


*I'm not objecting to this because I make the financial decisions, as I don't. I objected to this because it felt like she wanted to work her way through the household until she could persuade someone to sign up.

That is my (true) response to charity people who knock on my door, plus that I can't give to everybody, and if anybody had enquired further in that way they would (depending on my mood) probably be told to f- off.


I think you should report her to Unicef. That is totally out of order.

I also had a rather pushy unicef collector.


We do give to charity and I explained that I would be happy to consider donating if they left the DD form with us but due to financial constraints I couldn't make a decision until next Month.


He then looked at my house (mine is probably exactly the same as every other Victorian House in ED) and shrugged his shoulders as if I was lying and said he couldn't leave the form as it had his details on.


I said oh well never mind and he said he could come back in a few hours once I had filled it in, when I said I wasn't going to do that he said something like "go back to your nice life", I just shut the door!
