Do not set up loud speakers, play music and play commentator in the middle of a residential neighbourhood. It wakes those of us whose only day to sleep-in is on a weekend. It is inconsiderate and generally pisses off your supporters. And when I hear you say, “we have a permit”, I realize your charity has way too much money; so much so you feel entitled to piss people off just so the police can chase you… —You lost my $500 yearly donation

W.T.F.?
Who can afford $500 a year donations? Certainly not I? Must be living large my friend.
W.T.F.?
The marathon had a similarly stupid Idea one year… that didn’t go over well either. Who wants to hear a screaming Madonna at 9am?
EXACTLY! W.T.F! Did you not notice you live in a city OP. That’s why they have a permit, it was permited. Perhaps you should move out to the country…. and bitch at the birds for disturbing your peaceful slumber or do what the rest of us late to risers do, close the f’n window jackass.
stupid or churlish op. so for how many years have you been supporting this charity?
did you research it and decided it was worthy, then because of one morning’s interrupted sleep you have decided they are racketeers?
are you a fool for giving your hard earned money to scammers for years? or are you a miserable piece of shit for withholding needed money for a worthy cause just because you got woken up?
there are many legitimate reasons to stop supporting a previously supported cause, but one morning’s interrupted sleep should not be one of them. and mentioning the amount (probably inflated) that you say you contribute is really gauche.
Fuck, OP.
You’re pissing and moaning about a 5K fun run for Special Olympics? “One-eyed AIDS babies?”
There really are a lot of assholes on the Internet.
