Today, as my dad and I were leaving a store, a man asked us if we could donate to an Alzheimer's fund. My dad hates being asked for money, and so he immediately hunched over and acted like a dirty, senile old man all the way to the car. FML

My mum usually talks back in German to throw them off. Sometimes they speak back in German. She's lost then, as she only knows a few words. Not too clever either.

Actually, he does have social anxiety. And he's kind of a jerk. Gotta love him.

Maybe you're not a jerk on top of having social anxiety, like my dad! :)

Solicitors, that is different I just hang up on them or shut the door with a no thank you. We it comes to raising money for a disease that's different, if you do not have the funds or already donated, simply say no thank you. No need to act like a child like OP father did.

That's just wrong. He needs to grow up and and just say no thank you. Acting stupid like he did is really immature. Being that he's your father, he's a poor role model. Alzheimer's is not a joke, and a very harsh thing to go thru.

He's not a poor role model, he just has a poor sense of humor! Seriously, though, I'm sorry he offended you.

I'm sorry, however there's no humor there on what he did. I hate getting on a uproar specially since I'm have a sense of humor and easy going. However I worked in the medical field for 6 years and personal home care. I've seen how Alzheimer's effects family's. To have their wife's/children walk into the room and the Alzheimer's patient does not even know who they are, is tragic to the family. Sorry to vent that out, but acting like he did is offensive to me. We are so lucky to be "normal". Like I said a simple no would be easy to say, instead of acting like an immature adult with his son being there no less. I don't know how he acts otherwise and can/could be a good role model, however at that moment in time he was not.

I know it was in poor taste. I apologized for his behavior. And I hate to tell you this, but I'm his daughter, not his son.

My apologies for that, I didn't read your profile. Also I did not know you we're the OP, until after I posted that comment, I tried to edited in time. You do not need to apologize for your father.

I'm not used to reading such polite banter between people on here. Good job you two.

I agree, why would you do something like that? The people going through it probably wouldn't appreciate his actions.

I usually donate to those things :P granted, I do have an incurable illness myself so I think it's nice to show support. However, a polite "no, thanks" or something else would have sufficed in your dad's case :S seemed rather rude.

Yup 24- As terrible as it is, I'll probably have breast cancer one day since every woman in my family has/does. So I purchase anything I can that gives the money to the cause. ^_^

"Sir, would you like to donate to the Alzheimer's fund?" "What? Who are you? Where am I? Where's my coffee!?" "You poor man."

So, if someone's collecting for colon cancer, he'll act like an asshole?

Should probably teach him to man up and say no. Pathetic.

If I were able to train my dad to do anything, believe me, I would. Unfortunately, he's probably not going to change. Sorry he offended you, though.
