[quote=Anonymous]I have another example. I was working as a volunteer at a local park along with 3 other women. It’s a non paid position that we all completed 30 hours of mandatory training for. A woman came up and said hello, then asked if we needed help. We politely told her no thank you, that we were fine and we were volunteers with X organization only. She ignored that and asked again, to which we firmly and politely told her no, but she would be very welcome to attend the public event in the park at X time. She paused and then went on a diatribe about how she was trying to offer some human connection on this beautiful day and how dare we ignore her outreach.

Last year I volunteered for an organization collecting “used but clean” blankets and towels and clothing. One man donated some lovely suits and shirts, but mostly it was tons and tons of dirty, in some cases, completely soiled fabric and bedding that people dropped off as “good condition, usable clothing and bedding”! One woman had the gall to say that she had donated something she didn’t mean to and couldn’t believe we unpaid volunteers couldn’t drop everything and sort through a giant moving truck worth of soiled fabric to find her item.
