To wish people would stop moaning about what the Royal Mail sticks through their doors?

[StripeyOss]

Yes.. heinous "Thread about a Thread" crime, lol... but seriously...

AIBU to think people should either opt out of the leafleting or just shut up and throw them in the bin if they're not interested?

I would have something to say but as your first sentence included 'lol' I decline.

LOL YANBU

Well I was going to start one about postman who delivery enticing pictures of take away food when I'm trying to lose weight I think that is cruel!

What's wrong with 'lol'? It's used everywhere else.

Well, the whole point is that you can't opt out of the leafleting can you? the stuff just somes through the door unsolicited.

i agree...sooo....yanbu!!

its pathetic,whinging about it as if its the ONLY thing that we get through our doors that we don't want! its life,tough!

I use lol (but try not to), and never when it's not appropriate.

Was the op really lol at the thought of a thread about a thread?

Ah, but if you opt out of leafleting, you don't get the bumf letters from the council telling when the bins are being collected etc.

Pointless thread. Why didn't you just make your point on the original thread.

This is just attention seeking, so YABU.

I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to see vile racist propaganda on my doormat in the morning.

no, i was 'lol'ing at being naughty by starting a thread about a thread.

which thread morris? there are at least three of them, all moaning about the same thing!

and king rolo, if you think everyone in the BNP is a 'vile racist' then you clearly have some issues and need to go educate yourself.

Nor is that a 'lol' moment.

I'll just stop now, sorry, I am a mega grump today.

Holy - the binmen drop those off here, not the postie.. they get stuck to the bin on collection day.

lol

how do you opt out of leafleting?

KingRolo
Yes you can opt out of the crap interesting leaflets the post man puts through your door.
DP a postie and he has people on his delivery that opt out of having crap informative uninvited literature put through their door.

I think it is reasonable for the Royal Mail to deliver whatever they are paid to deliver within the law - they are a business and people would soon moan if they weren't there and they had to choose between hundreds of private companies who would be far more expensive than the Royal Mail.

If you don't like it bin it!

Around here you either have a sign in tasteful colours and lettering on your front door or you have a tatty bit of paper blue tacked in the window, there are variations, going up and down the social scale.

I didn't know you could opt out - thanks for that IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern.

StripyOss - take it you're a BNP member? It strikes me as a racist organisation but I'm happy for you to educate me.

Don't mind the leaflets, although I do think they are a waste of paper. WHat drives me made is the littering of red elastic bands on my door step and all over our street by the postie!

Was it the Royal Mail who delivered my leaflet a couple of days ago, I wonder? Neighbour said that the BNP had been canvassing in our area. They're bloody lucky I didn't catch them at my door, that's all I'm saying.

I do object to having leaflets put through my door telling me that my family should 'go home' - yes, actually, I do. I tore the leaflet up and put it straight in the bin. I'm not going to complain to the Royal Mail or anything. But I do wish I didn't have to come home from a nice day out with my kids in tow and find vile racist bullshit on my doormat.

some are.. but calling everyone in the BNP a racist is like calling everyone in GreenPeace a grave robber, or everyone in Sinn Fein a terrorist.

you cant label a whole group based on a few arseholes.
