Really getting tired of people in our company going from office to office pushing their kids/grandkids fundraiser crap. I don't mind the occassional hit up but lately it's been getting out of hand. If I said yes to everyone, I wouldn't have anything left. I politely told her until our adoption is final, I'm on lockdown and not spending any extra/splurge money. She was very understanding but it gets awkward telling people to knock it off in a diplomatic way. 4951

I hated that when I was working in an office. Expect when it was for girl scout cookies. That one I was ok with! 4951

@taramay: This one was for cookies but not GS cookies. It was some over-priced company I can't think of right now. Didn't even give her the chance to hand me the booklet.We have a "no soliciting" sign on our front door that works very well. But we told one girl in our neighborhood that is very polite and well-behaved that she is welcome to ring our doorbell when she's selling GS cookies.

I don't mind if they put the catalog(s) in the kitchen, but I don't want to be asked directly.  I do like the gift wrap multi-colored tissue paper from the catalogs and usually end up buying some, but again, it's because I saw the catalog, I chose to look and chose to buy. 4951

@WskyTngoFxtrt: At our office, if people want to solicit for their kid's or other fundraisers, they just leave the sign up sheet in a common area, so people can sign up if they want to, or ignore it.  It really isn't soliciting in my eyes, when it is handled that way.

They are supposed to put the sign up sheets in the kitchen. And once a month an email gets sent out from an admin letting everyone know what fundraisers are currently available. But this one person decided she would circumvent the system and go office to office. This is the second time in two weeks she has hit people up for two different things. I don't feel so bad shutting her down. 4951
