I really struggle to engage without being rude. I humoured a British Heart Foundation chugger once and felt murderous after about 10 seconds because he was such a patronising git "aww you're smiling! you have such a lovely smile!"
Yeah, it was a smile of horror. The sort you have when you see something awful unfolding in front of you and don't quite know how to respond. I did have to point out to him, in the end, that I actually do have a bus to catch because I do need to be somewhere, which prompted him to hurry along to the money bit. Ended up quite shirtily teling him "no I'm not giving you any money and I really do need to be going" and he muttered something passive aggressive about me not having my priorities right.
So no, I CBA to engage.
