Never again.
Some charity stopped me in a shopping centre once, and asked for me to commit to a sign up, dollar a day support some kid somewhere. It got to the point where she demanded I entered my bank details IN FRONT OF HER, including my CREDIT CARD to make a direct deposit on the spot. I walked away. She started in on me publicly, and I told her I would talk to centre management and the head office of her charity - both of which I did. They were not there 3 hours later.

I simply ignore them now - even the Life Saver bucket guys.
