People asking for money, constantly! If it's not at the entrance to the supermarket (charity collectors or beggars), it's "friends" hosting a "gala evening" for something, with tickets priced at $1,000 "for a good cause - "... C'mon 1001, you can afford it" - "Um, NO! It's a heck of a lot of money. Here, have $2, because I'm sure every cent counts!"
I actually don't know anyone - aside from this person - who has a spare $1,000 lying around that they can donate to a cause.
