I will preface this by saying i am not well, and have stressful stuff going on that probably makes me grouchier than usual, so please don't tear strips off me, whilst feeling free to say that I am in fact BU.

But... Is it U to shove a very heavy catalogue thing through someone's door post 9pm? Someone put through one of those kleeneze packs at gone 9 last night, it was a bag with several catalogues in, and made an absolute bloody racket. Our door opens straight into our lounge so it was about three feet from my head and made me jump an equal distance into the air! It also woke my 2 year old who has s cold and us open to any excuse to wake up, grimp at us, and demand cuddles and Thomas the Tank Engine.

Deliver your fucking catalogues during daylight hours! Actually, don't deliver them at all. I invariably lose them then suffer weeks of daily disturbance begging for them back.

ALSO, who the fuck pays £4.75 for a roll of kitchen foil?? Does anyone ever buy any if this overpriced shite?

put the catalogue on your doorstep, the collector will take it back in a few days without disturbing you

hope your DC is better soon

I put them straight back out on the doorstep.

Put a note in telling them what happened leave it outside and forget all about it.

I hate all that kind of stuff, it's up there with the god awful candle partiesGrin

Probably a bit grumpy I'm guessing someone is doing it as a second job for extra cash. But I can see why it annoyed you. I irrationally hate loud door knockers at any time of the day

Put a sign on your letterbox to say you don't want unsolicited mail. Sorted.

I thought you were going to say it was the Yellow Pages or a Next catalogue. Kleeneze catalogues aren't very heavy at all.

But having said that, they shouldn't be delivering anything past 9pm...not even leaflets.

My dog would have barked the house down.

WelshMaenad · 16/09/2012 11:31

There were 3 or 4 catalogues in the bag worra. Big Xmas one, normal one, I think s beauty one and maybe something else, it was quite hefty.

If soneone put a yellow pages through at 9pm ibwould chase them down the street and beat them with it.

The Avon lady did that the other day, though at a reasonable hour. I was napping though and the 3 catelogues in one bag made a massive racket when it hit my floor. If it had been gone 9 I'd have been inclined to open my door and scream at her!

You're being a bit dramatic but YANBU, it's too late to be delivering stuff.

I do suspect though that the ones delivering have day time jobs so it's the best time for them maybe. Doesn't make it right though
