Can Ya Spare a Dime?
You know what drives me insane? Kids soliciting for money outside the grocery store.
I'm only going in for a few things, a quick trip with the younglings, and I'm accosted by children with old coffee cans asking for money for the baseball team. Or the cheerleaders. Or what ever. And they get you coming and going! Dammit! How much money do they think I'm going to give?
And what really gets me is the kids that stand almost in the middle of the road yelling "Car wash! Car waaaaaaash!! CAR WAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!"
They act like we're supposed to run right in to get our vehicles washed, but then give us dirty looks when we drive past them.
Oh yeah, I'd like to see those kids try to wash La Tahoe.
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

Yeah, I only spare a dime for girl scouts. The rest can get it from their mothers and fathers. I pay taxes! What more do they want? ;)
Funny that you mentioned the car wash story. We were on a major road and there was a girl running in the middle of the road to wave the sign.
