If someone gave you £1000/$/€ to give to a cause you personally loathed - and they’d never know what you did with the cash - what would you with it? Tell me.

I'd tell them I'm happy to take their money but I'm not gonna donate to that. They can decide then if they still want to give me the money

I would need twenty times that sum. Because that is what a contract killer would cost.....

My instinct is not to take the money in the first place, or to give it back immediately...I guess details matter though - they want me to make a donation in their name? They don't need me for that

Do I get to pick the cause as long as it's something I loathe? All right, I'll do it. I'll buy a Taylor Swift ticket for someone who really loves Taylor Swift.

I definitely wouldn't give it to the cause I loathed, but I wouldn't feel good keeping it for myself either. I might give it to some other cause, or give it back. I don't think I'd give it to the other cause unless I thought for some reason they'd never find out about it (and I wouldn't lie to them).

Give 1 euro to some radfem organization and dump most of it on some social housing initiative. Then I'd keep the rest for myself.

Call me weird, but I'd give it to something I personally loathed - its not my money.
