Ugh, fundraising annoys me. I don't mind so much if it's for a decent reason, but I really would prefer they just upped the fees a bit and knocked off the fundraising other than a few large events each year.
Funnily enough the one that irritates me the most is actually my work social club, as they have near constant fundraising which is generally used to subsidise work sundowners that I very rarely attend as they're always on Friday afternoons when I want to get home to my family. Or for the work Christmas do, which is always employees only and no partners/kids so I tend to skip out on that one too.
I have my charities I support, and I don't mind tossing the odd bit of change etc into a tin if I have it on-hand but other than that I tend to refuse to participate and let people call me a grinch.
