At some point, I made the mistake of not checking the relevant box when making a contribution to some charity many moons ago.
Consequently, I get snowed under with mail from practically every charity under the sun. Especially at this time of year.
Don't these people realise that this tactic is counterproductive?
Well, it certainly is if everyone's like me because I don't even bother opening the envelope. Straight in the bin it goes - including mail from the original charities that I used to support.
Only way I give to charities these days is anonymously - normally chucking a few quid in a bucket when I think it's a worthwhile cause.
