Charity workers
Now, I do donate money to charity when I can, if I can't afford it I won't, if I can, I do. I usually do a quick bit of research into what ever charity I feel is most relevant to me at the time and make a regular donation until my funds are a bit small. I do not respond well to volunteers on the street following you and getting in your way when you're rushing.

Now Charity workers are rife in my town and they hound you, no talk of 'running late' or 'not being interested' stops them. Best conversation killer for the volunteers: "I already support your charity" they normally then wave you off with a thank you. Simples. Plus sometimes you're not lying, and support doesn't always necessarily mean money.

Or, if someone is trying to get you to join a gym, you say "Are you calling me fat?", that shuts them up. Sorry for lack of funnies...
