I hate going to work, it seems lately that everytime I have any cash on me at work, I get hit up for it.
Past three weeks in a row its been collection time. First was this one guy whose wife was in an accident, they were collecting to get her flowers and to help him buy a plane ticket so his mother in law could come down. Then last week another guys mother was sick and they were collecting so he could get a plane ticket to Venezuela. This week its for this one lady who is having a baby. They want to get her a stroller. I am gonna hold out and hope they forget. I even asked them why they were getting a stroller when she had a baby last year. Also I am tired of this thing where you have to buy some woman something when they have a kid. If I buy a dog will they take a collection to help me get a leash?
I usually play nice and give 5 bucks or whatever I have. Not becuase I am nice but because I don't want to look like the real Dick that I am. I truely don't care half the time. I'd rather have my extra 5 bucks to buy some smokes, beer or gas with. Money is tight and if I'm gonna spend it I'd rather it be on me.
This is the reason I hardly ever bring cash to work.
