Kids going into the sauna in football kit including muddy boots.
(I got them to take their footwear off but to say more would probably invite the attention of the authorities.)
Having to wear clothing in the sauna.

Is anyone else getting a lot of this
For my birthday this year I want donations to xxxxx
Piss off, if I actually know you well enough to be getting you a gift then I want to get something for you.
If you are just using Facebook as a platform to look all thoughtful you can piss off as well.
I donate to charity, a few that matter to me and I donate at random when I feel the need.
Argh

I am, Gobi.
Facebook repeatedly invited me to use my most recent birthday to raise money for charity, but didn't disclose that it would spam the news feeds of all my contacts for a week or so before my birthday and send them email notifications pestering them to donate. I can see how it might look like a tempting and benign way of supporting a cause close to your heart, but my first thought was, "What does Facebook get out of this and what have I said to give them the idea that I might buy into it?"

The problem is that those who "raise" money for charity get lots of credit while those who give (rightly) don't. It's the same as sponsorship, or when the London Marathon says "it" has raised so much money over the years. These people/organisations are getting themselves a good name at the cost of those who donate.
Which isn't to say that money hasn't gone to charity that otherwise wouldn't have.

I wonder if people who have gone, "Oh, that's a nice idea!" and signed up to the Facebook thing realised that for every person who donates a couple of quid, several will be irritated enough to snooze or block them.
