I Dont Know Where To Put This Story

I was at the supermarket today and there were people collecting for a COPD charity right outside the door, one in the entrance and about three at the exit, all oldish ladies half blocking the doora. I asked my fiance if we had any change but he just had his card on him. As we went past I did the whole head down and apologetic face thing, but she still basically shouted at me that THEY WERE COLLECTING FOR PEOPLE WITH LUNG DISEASE and looked disapproving when I had to explain why we weren't putting 20p in her bucket. UGH.

That is harrassment and it is wrong. The shop owner should not tolerate such behavior and the cause is not excuse for being offensive and impolite.

COPD sucks. But they did it to themselves by smoking

@Dolimyte: hey, hey, i dear you to come to my home and tell my wife she deserves her cancer because she smoked.

i'll charge my camera while you GPS me.

I never said they deserved it. I just think big tobacco should be footing the bill.

Interested to see how this discussion pans out...
Nobody 'deserves' cancer but we all know that smoking raises the chances of getting lung cancer. I'll be angry if I ever get it as I had to passively smoke for 15 years (or so) at work
