I've just got back from some charity evening. it was a 'casino royale' thing, rented out at a some bar. as far as I knew, a mate of a mate was doing it for charity. I paid £7 to get in. WHOA, bit steep I thought... but it is for charity I suppose.
later on this broad is asking for raffle tickets. I specifically ask what charity she's collecting for, and she says it's for a 'hospice... for the terminally ill'. I pay £2 for 5 tickets.
later on I find out this whole swindle is not for charity at all. it's 3 students raising money to climb the freaking north pole. I'm stunned on a number of levels. for a start said earlier broad is either RUBBISH at sarcasm, or was lying, because I asked pretty seriously what charity it was for.
then again, I probably would have gone tonight anyway, as it's a 'mate of a mates' do, and apparantly for charity. but then again, if I'd known it was £7 I'd hella notta gone. ESPECIALLY if i'd have known it was some students. ffs, I'm a student too you slags. don't particularly care wtf you're doing, I'm probably poorer. sob.
to make matters EVEN MORE complicated, at this point, I win the freaking raffle. I never win raffles. Noone ever wins raffles. Fake people win raffles. Friends of the main prize organisers win raffles... not randoms like me. but lo and behold, I won the raffle. I've won go-karting for me and my pals. never been go-karting before, sound fun though.
but I'm kind of annoyed. I was deceived. but I would probably have donated £7 of the £9 I donated anyway. but I was deceived. then I won stuff. I feel wrong but happy. what should I do. go-karting vs morals?
With the go-karting, you're up on the deal, right? So I say you're allowed to fill empathetically annoyed and deceived for everyone else who was swindled, but you have to laugh all the way to the race track.
