To do something naughty in Charity Shops

[Monty27]

When I have donations to small things eg unopened and unwanted makeup items or a wrong size sink plug say, I slip them into the appropriate baskets or boxes in the shop so the volunteers don't have to sort it.

"Assorted sink plugs, 50p each"

Maybe missing the point a bit here, but how many charity shops get so very many random bath plugs donated that they actually have a dedicated basket for them?!

He had an autobiography published, don't know about anything else.
Loved Jim'lll Fix It when I was around 8, now a bit creeped out by the fact!

Yeah it does seem a bit… unusual but it was the only way I could make sense of what OP wrote. And I've seen some odd baskets of assorted widgets in some of my local ones.

Same with Jim'll Fix It. I wanted to be on it. So glad I never wrote that letter.

Its not on.

The poor volunteers more work on them.

I have actually seen little baskets of random things like plugs or even tap washers or walking stick bungs in charity shops. Lots of them. I can only assume maybe someone was donating a job lot of these items? Maybe they were a deceased or moving collector and were having a house clearance. I think many charity shops will take anything that's not electrical if they think it may sell.

That's just bonkers and doesn't make any sense - are you trying to shine non existent Halo?

Why would you do this? It's obviously not helpful in anyway to either the volunteer who is dedicating their time to the charity or the customers who have to then go and ask at a till, possibly be embarrassed or not obtain something that would be useful to them. Genuine question what drives you to do this?

The idea of the programme was simple but amazing. It's a great shame that they couldn't bring it back now, with an actually likeable, charismatic host who doesn't have any desires apart from seeing happy children's innocent dreams come true (and banking a nice fee for it, of course).

I'm sure I remember reading about them resurrecting it with Jimmy Carr in the role - long before it hit the fan and all came about about JS. Not sure he would have been the best person for it, tbh; Alan Carr, Alison Hammond or Alex Jones would have been a lot better potential choices (albeit none of them having the requisite name).

I reckon it would go down a storm, but unfortunately, the whole concept is so associated with that evil pervert that it could never be. Well, maybe in 60 years' time, when those of us who remember the show have all gone, somebody might come up with a similar idea and make whatever the modern equivalent to a TV show is then; but we who remember it and (in our innocence) loved it won't see it again.

Lots of charity shops have 'the 50p basket', 'the £1 basket' the '3 DVDs for 75p' basket etc. I assumed OP meant that kind of thing. Still weird but probably not harmful.

Jimmy Carr, don't like him at all, but Alison Hammond or Alex Jones, yes, very possibly.

I thought you were going to say you arrange mugs with letters on in order to spell COCK or something. #Disappointed

At the risk of derailing the thread, that description fits most of the vicars I knew growing up too. The primary reason that I believe religion is often used by men to justify, enable and excuse abusive behaviour.

Why would you do that?!
Do you get a kick out of making peoples lives harder?

Don't be a dick.

You sound really odd to me. Why do you use the word ‘naughty’ if you think you’re doing them a favour?

Blimey, seems like you have really upset a lot of people, lol, so sensitive aren’t they? 🤣

Don’t you think they are going overboard? 🙁

Are you the 'buggering up small donations to charity shops' fairy or something? Because I applied for that but didn't have all the requisite person specification. One being that I wasn't able to think of many ways to bugger up the shop policies and routines.
So congratulations!

A tongue in cheek post...

Bit harsh don’t you think?

I think the term you’re looking for is fly tipping

Are you bored?

dont dump your rubbish like this
