The old bin man Christmas bonus

Its All Wright

Does anyone remember the days before we had wheelie bins, when we used black bags that you left outside your garden and the bin men had to physically throw them into the back of the truck..Then at Christmas they would come banging down your door looking for a Christmas bonus. If you didnt pay up they might just "forget" to collect your rubbish in the new year.

Has that completly gone now or is there still parts in Ireland where it exists? i personally never understood why i had to give a bin man an unofficial bonus of £20. Id say the lads miss those days though

Or maybe they just extorted me for years & this wasnt a regular occurance elsewhere

banquo

We still do it. Binman, postman, etc.

Sir Humphrey Appleby

Still do it at work with the postman.

Potatoeman

I never see them as Im at work when they are around.

Cienciano

Wouldn't do it for the binman now, pay enough for the bins

Frank Black

I don't do it since they started charging for bin collections.

Do you not think the unemployed and pensioners deserve a bonus?

It's funny how all the same threads appear this time of year.

It's like déja vu all over again.

I don't tip, I fly-tip.

Thread should be locked, and THROW AWAY the key.

P.C.

Reminds me of this joke.

The first bin man knocks on the door, and the woman gives him €5 Christmas bonus. Same with the second, so they tellthe driver. He knocks on the door, and the woman takes him upstairs and shags him. He is surprised at his luck, and asks her why she gave the other €5 but he gets a shag. She says to him: my husband said - give the bin men €5 each, but feck the driver.

Why should the unemployed deserve a bonus? If I bust my ass all year working and don't get one why should the taxes I pay go towards a bonus for someone else?

People on welfare used to get a Christmas bonus..its a difficult one though, id say theres families out there who really needed it & still do & then theres others just leeching off society but how do you give to one & not the other, maybe they should reintroduce it & only give it to families & not people who are sitting at home playing their xbox & smoking dubbies

WellThen?

They used to clean up at Christmas.....;)
