Person 1 : Wow, poor girl. I'm going to buy her a bouquet of flowers because I feel bad that she's crying.
Person 2: You shouldn't treat her like a charity case, nobody likes that.

Charity shaming
transitive verb
1. To coerce, force, pressure or intimidate another person to donate to a non-profit cause/organization that one has personally deemed worthy by 1) declaring (usu. via some social media outlet – e.g. Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, etc.) that one has donated to said cause and then 2) challenging the other person to meet and/or surpass the donation.
2. To make an ultimatum (under the guise of harmless competition) with the intent to intimidate another person into giving aid to a cause of the intimidator’s choosing.
3. To compel someone else to participate in asshatery (parading as philanthropy), without regard to either the other person’s individual wishes/desires or knowledge of the other person’s pre-existing philanthropic history.
4. To continuously, obnoxiously solicit a charitable donation from someone who has already politely declined by 1) lowering the requested amount (southern-Cali-swap-meet-Turkish-bazaar style) and/or 2) emphatically re-(and re-, and re-)emphasizing that it’s for good cause.

1. Kevin: “I’m calling out Dave to take the ALS ice-bucket challenge…” Dumps ice water over head…vagal response causes breathing/ heartbeat to stop…passes out…slams head on floor
Dave: “Um, yeah. Fuck the ‘ALS Challenge’. I’ve been giving to six charities of my own choosing every year for over a decade and I don’t announce it to the world or dare people to do the same on Facebook. It’s not your fucking business what or how much I donate or to who or whether I even donate at all. ‘Calling me out’ won’t change my mind. Keep the charity shaming bullshit to yourself.”
*Kevin never actually sent any money to the ALS Foundation, has no clue what ALS is, doesn’t care and will never mention it again in his life – he just wanted to get in on the “fun”…
2. Caller: “Hey thar, dis is George wit' da Eternal Brotherhood of Kul County Po-leese an’ we doin’ our anyool fund drive for da famlies o’dos slain in da line o'duty. Wud ya be willin to part wit $50 t’support dah poor widus an’ orfans dis year?”
