No Junk Mail

[Evastar]

my doorbell rang there a while ago, when i went to answer it there was a man standing there with a load of leaflets in his hand.

and he said to me, it says 'no junk mail' on your letterbox, so here you go and tried to hand me a leaflet for some kind of gardening ......

[evs]

Hope you told him what to do with it, the cheeky barsteward.

[Evastar]

i told him i was busy and just closed the door. not sure if he left a leaflet in the porch or not, haven't looked yet

next time, take a few your "your friends" and post them on lamposts, then go home, ring the council and complain about theses advertsing in your area.

that will sort it

put a sign saying "no d***heads either" next to the doorbell..

Use to be a right nutter about junk mail.

Here's what I use to do:-
A lot of the junk mail would have free post reply envelopes inside... so you could buy their product / insurance etc.
I would stuff all the mail back into the free reply envelope, with a short note saying "Here's your junk mail back' and send it to them. (not filling my bucket up with their rubbish!)

Ah... well entertained me for a while...

Seen wooden planters placed outside front doors with signs on, "recycle junk mail here not through my letterbox" , seems a good idea.

This is a good idea but id like to add my bit to it..

If you have a return address envelope, bin it.. but first write the address on a fresh envelope. Stuff all your junk mail into it..

Proceed to the post box and post it without a stamp..

When they receive the letter they will have a bill for unpaid postage

It would be daft of them to complain to RM reclaiming monies back saying its junk mail

Step 1: Take a tenner and cash it at the bank for 10 rolls of pennies.
Step 2: Collect junk mail.
Step 3: Separate the mail, stuff one companies letter into the return envelope of another company. add in 20 pennies.
Step 4: Make a list of companies your mailing pennies too.
Step 5: Contact companies and inform them there's been an error and demand your money back.
Step 6: Receive cheques for 20p and cash them for more pennies.
Step 7: Repeat.

Free-post costs the companies money, adding weight to the envelopes costs the companies a LOT MORE after a threshold, adding 20 pennies winds up adding 75g to the weight and costs substantialy more than 20p a letter for incurred delivery charges. If enough people start doing this simple job then eventually the cost of business wil become economicaly unviable and unsustainable

Companies realise they cant afford to keep up the pace and stop sending bullshit

if it was done in the street you could be fined for littering but it is ok to put rubbish through someones door

playing devils advocate though what harm does it do?


there are people getting bombs dropped on them people getting quaked and we have a fit about a pizza leaflet coming through the letterbox


it is pathetic really we dont know how lucky we are

I totally agree with you red we do like to have a moan now and then it's human nature but it's nice to have something trivial to complain about rather than something serious. Isn't it

i suppose i do love a moan

the leaflet thing got me when i was doing some promotion work for my local gym the other week i was taking leaflets round the doors it was one of them part funded government fit for life schemes

i had a bloke run me down the road telling me to take it back he was shouting swearing and all sorts about being sick of ME (never been to his house ever) filling his house up with junk

i refused which seemed to wind him up more i thought he was going to start swinging at me in the end he tried to put it in my pocket i brushed him aside and carried on he then threw it at me it landed on the floor in his neighbours garden

i then told his neighbour that he was littering their garden and he had to pick it up

he was purple at this point heart attack ready to go as i carried on down the street under a torrent of abuse mildly amused

all that fuss over a leaflet i thought what a way to go

something that would have done him good he was overweight and 40 odd bargain gym membership £3 a week thats not junk mail in my book it was a bargain

i think the secret is have a moan but dont let things bog you down because thats when it becomes a problem mental and health wise

I save all the junk mail, free papers & bills. Then when I need to burn off some garden rubbish I have all I need to start the fire.

On irrationally irate old farts... Sat in the pub on thursday night with two friends. We were discussing mobile phones & my friends were bluetoothing ringtones (Fleetwood Mac - The Chain, edited to the start of the F1 theme).
But one of them didn't know how to assign the file as a ringtone. He get's it working & an old fart starts shouting abuse at him "turn it off, NOW! Why don't you go & take your drugs else where!"
It was the funniest thing ever. From that point on it was open season on the old fart.
