Junk Mail drives me mad.

[joan w]

I am sick and tired of strangers tramping over my garden, and shoving junk mail, mostly Pizza Menus, through my letterbox.
I have even been out and asked them to stop, and one time right after I had done so - he even posted one through anyway.


There is one guy who posts them regularly, and when I went out and asked him not to he just said "No English", in other words he didnt understand what I said.

The following week, the same guy told my Husband what time the Pizza Shop opened......so he could speak English the little liar.


Just now I saw the Junk Mailer coming down the path, so I held my letterbox shut, thinking i was clever.

When I opened the door 2 minutes later, he had balanced it behind my door knocker.
So now i am having junk jammed behind my knocker, its all too much.

If they dont stop it, I am going to declare war on them, and it could get nasty..............................

I thought you'd be thrilled for people to jam junk in your knocker Joan

I agree we get about 3 instances a week where people trample up our garden path to dump junk mail through our letterbox.

You said knocker....

I get pamphlets shoved in my door asking if I want to know Jesus better. I've thought about putting a Star of David out there so they get the hint that I'm not interested in knowing Jesus, no offense.

For junk mail from companies that mail a prepaid envelope, I rip up tiny pieces of paper and glitter and mail it back.

I got someone knocking on my door with 2 loaves of bread asking if I would like to be a Hovis witness . Heard that joke in school so it does seem a bit ancient now.

I don't mind pizza and takeout menus, especially if they deliver. Some nights I don't feel like cooking. I also get coupons to local eateries and other places in the mailbox, so it's kind of neat. I just throw away what I know I won't use.

However, anyone else who shows up to my door uninvited....well, they can stand there and knock as long as they want to. I'm not home.

I used to hate junk mail until my kid became a newspaper delivery boy. He gets extra money for each flyer he delivers with the newspaper, so the more the better as he's putting all the money he makes towards his university education once he graduates from high school.

I once asked our post man about all the junk mail and if there was a way of avoiding them in the future. He basically told me that it was the junk mail that was keeping them in jobs.

A donner meat pizza?

A donner meat pizza?

Yes Donner kebab meat on pizza...... Ha it sounds disgusting though I would probably like it. In all its compressed, prosessed unhealthy glory.

[RedBeetEggs]

I've seen those kebabs when I watch British shows and they don't look that appealing. I think because my mind associates "Donner" with the Donner party that ate each other after being stranded in the mountains.

[Emmerdalefan]

The occasional uunk mail can be useful such as that pizza advertisement.

I love that this pizza joint also sells Haagen Daz ice cream....just in case you're not worried about the extra calories you'll get from eating all that cheesy pizza. Their delivery drivers must have to drive like madmen to keep it from melting beside the warm pizza boxes. The tuna-anchovy-sweetcorn pizza doesn't sound very appetizing.

You could try putting a note on your door (maybe beside the doorbell?) asking the junk mail delivery people not to leave their flyers at your home. Write that you're an environmentalist who'd rather save a tree than waste paper.

They look disgusting but they are so good. Though I rarely eat them because they are so bad for you.

Yes. Unfortunately, advertising keeps everything afloat.

Glitter?

I just send everything back refused. If they want to keep sending it, well, I'll keep sending it back and refuse to buy whatever they're selling.

As far as things left on the door, I just take them out with the trash.

[RedBeetEggs]

I haven't sent glitter in a while, just when I'm in a really bad mood. It's usually the credit card companies that send those things to me.

[Emmerdalefan]

Sometimes my postman delivers the junk mail along with the bills, not just these junk mail deliverers.

Sorry typing error. In Corrie Div and Minced Pork aren't any type of errors they are just errors full stop. They would represent junk mail.

The mere thought of them must have distracted you at the keyboard!
