[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about this ambush?  A friend of your invites you to a dinner party at her boyfriends now rowhouse.  You bring a bottle of wine, eat a decent, but not fancy meal. You mingle and enjoy talking to new people.  And then the hosts asks if he can have eveyones attention and goes on some long winded story about some charity he is involved with and asks if everyone can sign up as a sponsor for his trip to somewhere to help some people in need.

Does that annoy people the same way?  If you substitute the charity for wanting to introduce some policitian or wannabee.  That's happened to me a couple of times where I was mislead into being invited to a party and it ended up being a fundraiser.[/quote]

I would try to get the host somewhere quiet and apologize: "I'm sorry, but had I know that this was going to be a fundraiser for X, I would have declined to attend.  Unfortunately, I make my own selections for charitable donations and this is not in my plans for this year."[/quote]
