Asking for a student discount everywhere...


And you get dirty looks off the sale assistants who work in the shop who do not offer said discount.

It's often debated as to whether blood donors should be paid to increase the amount of donors, but it's usually decided against to prevent drug addicts and the like selling blood for money when it then couldn't be donated to somebody, and they might lie about how often they donate in order to get money more often.

I see! It's just whenever I go to donate blood it is always full up so they don't really need to encourage people by paying anyway. Yeh I could see lots of people lying if they wanted to get money, eg about what countries they've been to or who they've slept with etc :erm:

But then that's usually the same people going to every session, as they're spread ~4 months apart at each location. Whereas if they had more donors, then they could run more sessions. Although they appear full, they are ALWAYS lacking in donors. And exactly - all the extra screening they'd probably have to do "just in case" just isn't really worth it :sad:

Nope. The only things you get for it are free biscuits and drinks and the heady feeling of doing something good (although this may be down to blood loss).

For a high school student maybe...
Poundland is your saviour

finding noodles in sainsburys for 11p

beingproud of doing your own laundry

missing the bus...just.
You fashion crockery out of tinfoil because it saves washing up.

It works really well actually because tinfoil doesn't retain heat so you can pick it straight out of the oven without gloves!
