A survey of six people in this office has found that 66% believe chuggers - charity workers who try to stop bypassers on Dublin's streets - have ruined yellow raincoats on everyone.
More and more Dubliners are reporting that friends are avoiding them for what appeared to be no reason until they released they resembled a charity collector from Amnesty International.
One distraught woman from Rathmines said:
I couldn't understand it. Every time I'd say hello to my friends or work colleagues they'd just blurt out something like ''I'm very late for a meeting. Sorry.''
There were even more extreme examples when a group of my mates crossed to the other side of the street after I'd waited to meet them outside the GPO.
A quick peruse of Penneys will show that yellow jackets are in scant demand, as the market declines with every over-enthusiastic hello from a chugger on the Dublin streets.
Others have had different problems with said chuggers.
A spokesperson for Paddington Bear said the he has distraught and pessimistic about the future.
