Re: Your very petty pet hates

Something that's really bugging me is the endless takeaway menus I keep getting pushed through my letterbox. Eaxtly how many takeaways do I have near me to have at least 1 per day shoved through. Most of them don't even push the menu all the way through, I ended up having to pull them through the letterbox myself most of the time.

I did have a funny thing happen once where a guy came to post a menu, saw one was poking out the letterbox and carefully pulled it back through to dispose of it. I thought that was pretty funny thing to happen, there's that many takeaways that the competition is throwing away rival menus that have been half posted.

On a somewhat related note I get so tired of opening my front door to a veritable blizzard of flyers and business cards advertising tree-trimming services, landscape maintenance and solar panel installation.

I used to keep getting endless leaflets from a local pizza takeaway and heaps more from others. I got sick to death coming home to find my hallway looking like a recycling centre so I saved up 2 months worth of junk mail and flyers and in the wee small hours, went to the pizza takeaway and stuffed the entire lot through their letterbox!

Good on you, mate! That's ninety percent of my mail.

Hate junk mail coming through the door,there seems to be a lot of charity bags coming through the letter box too,there is only so much things you can find to half fill a bag.But you have to be careful incase someone else comes along and help themselves to what we have put out for the charity collection!

Re: Your very petty pet hates

Cheeky salesmen coming to the door, giving you a yarn about them not selling anything and then saying can you start giving money to charity.

#1. You're selling something, so don't lie to me. I'm sick and tired of being told this. You are taking money from my account to buy stuff for someone else. I'm buying goodwill and you coating it in lies isn't going to win me over.
#2. If I want to give money to charity (and I often do), I'll seek out avenues to get money or donations to them. I don't need some guy to come knocking on my door trying to make a pressure and guilt sale. Being slimy and pulling these tactics results in a shut door in their faces.

You won't believe this, I had one guy knocking on my door last year asking if I'd donate bone marrow. Is this even legal?

I like it when they're straightforward. What are you here for, what are you selling and is there a good enough reason I should be buying? No rubbish or padding out the conversation. All you need is a yes or no answer, the quicker you get a yes or no you can move onto asking someone else.

I think I might have mentioned it before but campaigners stationed in front of the store pestering you to sign their petitions.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

Does anybody actually look at all this junk mail? Mine goes straight in the bin. I really can't imagine any companies get more business this way so I don't know why they persist. Virgin media are the worst and the charity bags. I use the charity bags as bin liners.
