Money, Cars and Transportation: Charity

Charity

Today, I worked a carwash as a fundraiser. Being nice, I figured I'd bring my car, get it washed, and donate some money. When it was my car's turn to be washed, everyone was conveniently busy washing other cars. My car was in front and needed to be washed and moved. I paid $10 to wash my own car. FML

Today, I was washing my car, and I decided to be kind and to wash my elderly neighbor's car. As it turns out, her sunroof was open. FML

Today, I noticed that someone smeared "wash me" into the grime of my car. I decided to take it to get a wash. I pulled up, put my vehicle in neutral, and kicked back as it slowly started to move. You never realize how long it takes a sun roof to close until water is dumping on your head. FML

Cars and cards

Today, I took my car through the automated wash. I was too close to swipe my card, so the attendant reached for it and somewhere between our hands, the card fell into the grate and down a small crack 10ft into nasty water. The whole car wash was shut down to pull the massive grate up. It took about 2 hours. FML

Today, at work, my boss made me go outside and wash people's cars for free. I work at Verizon. FML

Today, I took a trip to Wal-Mart. There's a car wash that they conveniently built right outside of this Wal-Mart. So as I was leaving, I decided to make use of this car wash, not even thinking about the $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased. I drive a pick-up truck. FML

Today, I wanted to give my car a quick wash, to get the salt and road grime off. My girlfriend lodged herself up my ass and decided that we should deep-clean all four of our cars, then screamed at me when I didn't show enough enthusiasm. FML

Today, my little cousin was helping me wash my car. After scrubbing all the dirt, I gave him the hose and said, "Okay, now rinse off this disgusting thing." He turned the hose on me. FML

Today, I went to the mall with a couple of friends. While walking through the parking lot, we saw a very dirty car. You couldn't even see the inside of the car through the windows. I thought it would be funny to trace on the window, "Wash Me." After doing so, the driver got out of the car. FML

Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML

Today, I took my car into a car wash. I guess it was a bad idea to do it with my dog in the car, because he freaked out, started scrambling around, and ended up pissing on everything, me included. FML

It's for charity so it didn't all go to waste. Washing your car really isn't that bad either.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people who do car washes at fundraisers bring their own car. Like 10 said, what does it matter that you washed your own car?

If you thought it would **** up your life to wash a car why were you volunteering at a car wash in the first place?

you started out being nice wanting to donate a few dollars to a charity... then all of a sudden you decided it was not about the charity anymore because you had to do something. FIRST! (mocking 3&4)

ZiggyMorrison, are you a troll or an idiot? Seriously how many school based car wash fundraisers have you seen that are for a principle's boob job. Pull your head out of your ass. Most of them are for the sporting clubs to get money for the season. Around my area we have a few for the Girls & Guys lax team, field hockey, soccer, track, etc. Please don't make some asinine statement just to try to disprove someone. Use the brain god gave you or shut up and get to the back of the room. The most likely scenario is that his car was hideous (rusty etc), he is unpopular in school, or they just were actually busy and he didn't realize it.

#15 Agreed. You can help out if you are working it instead of coming and making everyone else do the dirty work. (that's what she said) It's rather condescending to your friends to do otherwise.
