Free Stuff in the post

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help. I want to play a practical joke on my roommate, where I sign him up for all kind of crazy stuff to be delivered to him in the post.

Hello everyone.

I hope someone can help.

I want to play a practical joke on my roommate, where I sign him up for all kind of crazy stuff to be delivered to him in the post. I've already been to websites for various free bibles, tampon samples, pheromone wipes, cigarette papers (he'll actually appreciate these) and so on.

So, can anyone recommend anything to me?

I don't mind having to sign up with an email address, I have a couple of addresses that I use specifically for spam catching.

Thanks!

Not exactly what you're looking for but would still be good. Buy something like a chlymidia(sp?) testing kit(if you can buy these) and post it to him marked only from a friend or something like that. He'd fúcking sh!t himself.

Well, it started on Friday when we got some Jesus literature in the letterbox. He brought it up to the apartment and said it was for me. We had a bit of a laugh, then I came up with my plan.

He'll see the funny side.

Good idea, but that actually involves me getting up from the laptop and doing something.

It has to be stuff that can be ordered online, and is free.

Either Pedigree or Bakers send out a free dog food pack. Try pampers for some free baby diapers.

You're giving his details to companies who will junkmail him for life. Real Junkmail. You're a horrible person.

The Bargain Alerts list has two links to some trial incontenence pants... needless to say my family have been sent them a few times!

Almost nothing from that list actually gets sent to you, in my experience.

1 item out of about 50 requests made to date.

Is there not a risk of getting done for postal fraud or something similar? I'm sure signing another person up for junk mail has to be against some law.

such a good idea!

what about shampoo and stuff - pantene and head and shoulders are always advertising that if you go on to their website they'll send you out free samples
