when I said Im sorry im not interested but thank you he rolled his eyes at ME and walked away.... 
I do donate to a foundation for sick children as well as the breast cancer foundation

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
I hate when people do that. I hate when they ask you in the supermarket, bank or anywhere for that matter and when you say no they get all snotty. People have no idea what you donate to outside of their little "sale" so they shouldn't be so quick to judge. My name isn't Rockafeller I can't give to everyone and every charity that comes a knockin!!

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
No way! Never. I usually will tell them to give me the name of wherever they are collecting money for and I will donate directly. I've never encountered someone who was actually collecting for a legitimate cause.

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
Funny you mention this, last year I had this elderly man knock on my door too- and we have a door bell, asking for money to donate to some water something or other, I cant remember. so dummy me gave him 20 bucks, he showed me the other neighbors signatures and gave me some documentation I think it was for farmingdale I cant remember, so I guess and hope I wasnt suckered, but if anyone knocks on my door again, nope not doing it. I dont know for sure where this money is going ya know.

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
It's never happened to me since I've been on my own, but I would never give money to a stranger, or someone who solicits money over the phone either.

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
About 2 years ago their was a big robbery spree during the summertime. The way the robbers targeted you was they would ring your bell, try and get you to donate money to their cause, talk to you, and doing so get to to know the layout of your house.
Once they had an idea of how your house was set up, when you werent home, one person would sneak in the back and break a window or something, sneak in then open the door that leads to the garage. Then open the garage door so the other person with a truck could pull in. Close the garage door and they would load their truck up with your goods. Then open the garage door and be off.
Thank goodness those villians did get caught.
But ever since if I dont know who you are I dont talk to you or open my door.

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
UMM I feel like my neighborhood is fundraiser central. I constantly get people ringing my bell asking for money for something, or selling something. I can't stand it!!

The dog loves to look outside so sometimes when hes acting crazy I leave the door open so he can look outside and not drive me to drink Otherwise I wouldnt open the door either but the big door was open and it was only the screen door. That was locked though

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
never, I am weary of the people outside supermarkets at times too, although I give to the VW vets out there at times.
YOu just dont know who these people are! I prefer to mail in money to charities when I can so I know where the money is going.

Re: When random people come knocking on the door asking for money...
I never answer the door if I dont know who it is! If I want to donate to a charity I will do it myself.
