   I avoid awkward conversations with charity fundraisers or political campaigners by simply saying "I already donate" or "I'm already voting for you guys." It's a win-win: they get a little boost, I don't have to explain my decision-making. Must really skew polling data though.

     @fesshole Lucky you. When I tell charities I already donate, they just ask me to donate more.

     @fesshole I avoid those awkward conversations by closing the door on them as soon as I understand what they're asking about. If I feel bad because they're a charity, I might mumble "sorry, no thanks" through the closing gap. And really, it saves them time arguing with someone who isn't ever going to help them.
