Anytime anyone "suggests" I do something for charity I shut down. I don't like guilt trip charity.

What's worse is when you tell them no thanks you donate to other charities/in other ways and they give you that indignant frown. I'm actually serious, but maybe I'm weird that way. :p

She's better than the ignorant indignants we have here with all the "it's sad that nobody gives a damn until an earthquake hits" threads.

The Red Cross has become a scam, unfortunately. Tell her she's donating her money to some rich white wise and beautiful woman.

Just delete her stupid e-mail. Fuck her.
Delete the email and then fuck her, or fuck her and then delete the email?

I hate idiotic bitches like these, brown nosing at its worst. These are the kind of idiots would swim on a surfboard in front of a vessel trying to stop whaling because they listened to some bullshits with their impressionable and stupid hearts.

Seriously though, walk over to her desk and smack her hard on her mouth.

coworker in OP is not 'self-righteous,' she's just a wise and beautiful woman.

tell her to cram her $50 up her self-congratulating ass.

No no, you have it wrong. Fuck her while deleting in the e-mail. Both will probably take you the same amount of time ;)

Took half the words out of my mouth. I was going to say do her doggy style in front of the computer and make her watch. While recording it all on a webcam for a later thread obviously. :)

A coworker of mine just sent out this email to everyone in our department:

This is bullshit for the following reasons:
1. She almost never works overtime, so she doesn't rely on that money to pay her "bills"
Why do you care for her bills? Do you help pay them?
2. She lives with her mom, and her only "bills" are a car payment and student loan payments.
So what? Are you taking money out YOUR pocket to help finance her needs?
3. Her overtime this week will be less than 5 hours.
Why does it bother you how many "overtime" hours she works?

I made a donation to the Red Cross this weekend with what I thought I could afford, but didn't feel like I had to broadcast it.

Anyone else get shit like this from co-workers, others?

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I have to ask. Why does it bother YOU what she does with HER money?

Last time I got a solicitation email at work I went to HR. It happened to be opposition to California's prop 8 but I would have done the same for any solicitation (other than maybe Girl Scout cookies.)

i don't know. maybe the fact she is trying to show everyone how great she is by claiming she is making a huge sacrifice when in relaity she is not. or maybe the fact she is trying to tell others to do something. Not to mention the email is nothing more then a "see what i did!?" bullshit self congratulations.

Yeah this is important, it decides if you:

A - tell her to gtfo

B - tell her you will be happy to donate (just lie, dont donate) and maybe suggest shes thoughtful for suggesting it

It's true. If a really hot chick told me to donate to Haiti, I might do it.

Ugly chick could ship herself to Haiti, have a building fall on her, and I wouldn't pay a dime to help her get out.

It's messed up, but the world loves helping pretty people.

It doesn't until she decides to point out to everyone how much she's sacrificing, and then proceeding to attempt to guilt everyone else into doing the same. The line is crossed when she decides to tell others what they should be doing with their money/time.

On second thought, reply all and say that you're already being very charitable with your other cause supporting nubile college students through med school at your local performing art centers, and ask if anyone else would like to support that cause as well.
