Answering a knock on my door I was greeted by a young teenager, female, wearing a tank top and shorts, saying she's collecting money for hospitals so they can buy protective gear.

No purse, no clipboard, nothing. AND NO MASK.

Good gods girl, if you're going to try to scam people put a little effort in it.

I'm sorry I didn't pull out my cellphone and take her picture... just to scare her.

I waved her away without a word. Then I went upstairs and watched her through the window as she went to a few other doors. She seemed to hesitate at every doorstep and paced back and forth on the sidewalk before attempting another. I don't think she got a single person to respond.

After a few more tries she started walking down the street without stopping to scam anyone else. I'm wondering if she'd been pressured into it because it was obvious her heart wasn't in it.
