Bogus clothing collection leaflets through one’s door? That’s a given nowadays. But surely the fuckers can avoid using such grotesque, nightmarish imagery. Who the fuck designed that, John Wayne Gacy?
Get out of my house.

Bejikes! I was sure that was one of your own creations at first glance.
This is a real bugbear with me BMD.
Around my way, we tend to get unmarked vans browsing the houses at 2 am on the collection date, hoping to nick anything that’s left out. There are so many of these
leaflets delivered that some of the neighbours have taken to putting signs on their doors: NO JUNK MAIL, NO CHARITY COLLECTIONS.
I think there are some genuine ones (if they list a valid VAT number/website/email/Company Name & Reg #, and don’t have 085 or UK numbers for contact).
Otherwise, I think you can be pretty sure that anything you donate will end up being sifted through on a halting site near you. I guess it’s better than begging…
I generally leave all my old stuff at the local council repositories, but even then, they sub-contract the collections and I have seen the collectors going through the stuff and saving the best for themselves, laughing merrily as they go.
I think the best solution is to fill a bag with old odd shoes, a dirty sh*t filled handbag, filthy old pillows, quilts and broken ‘bric-a-brac’ (whatever that might encompass). Then top up the bag with used nappies or bags of dog/cat poo.
That will teach them!
On the plus side, the bags are very useful as bin-liners.
I’d be worried about leaving a NO JUNK MAIL sign, for fear that they might put a petrol bomb through the letterbox.
I’m interested in collecting some handbags full of shit, so any chance you could hold a few back for me?
Can’t help with the handbags BMD.
I have a couple of worn ManBags I need to dump, so might fill them with a weeks’ worth of the the dog’s excretions and leave them out for collection.
Would probably need to install CCTV though, when the inevitable revenge attacks would occur. Or, I could leave the bag outside my troublesome neighbour’s house, and see what happens…
