Do bin men still knock looking for money at Christmas?

InKonspikuou2 · 07-12-2009 08:27PM #1

I remember years ago i opened the door one morning and it was the bin man and he told me he was going to collect the bins. I just said fair play play to ye and went back in. Fúcker woke me up on my first day off work. I didn't know that they knocked on doors looking for money at Christmas. Missed the last two years so not sure if they still do it. Surely with the price of bin tags for the year and people being broke they can't be knocking expecting a tip. Anybody here usually give to them?

I dispose of my own rubbish into a communal bin-shed-thingy, so will accordingly be awarding myself a large tip.

" But sir, weren't you just given a tip? A RUBBISH tip that is! Chortle! "

Well, I know what I'm going to say.

They haven't been round these parts since the bin charges came in.

Safer for them not to.

seanybiker · 07-12-2009 08:36PM

blackbetty69 · 07-12-2009 08:38PM

lucky-colm · 07-12-2009 08:39PM

Counting out a tip would be beyond the capabilities of most canines, I would have thought?

They always get a couple of quid at my Mams' house (binmen,postmen etc.)
I don't ever remember them knocking asking for it,though.

G_R · 07-12-2009 08:45PM

No i have type 2 diabetes. When my blood sugar levels get low i tend to type random words twice.

On my dad's estate for several weeks only a couple of months ago they stopped collecting bins. Council was rang and everyone told they'd be out later today or early tomorrow etc. 2 weeks it took for bins to be emptied. For the whole year they would refuse to take a bin if the lid was not closed firmly. If there was a small bag holding it open they would leave it.

Hope they knock at my dad's door or any neighbours tbh. Such a kick up the hole they deserve.

PS i know they're not all arseholes, the lads down my way are nice enough.

54kroc · 07-12-2009 08:58PM

I never knew they did this cheeky git's, saying that I've never given them the chance to knock I give them and the postman a bottle of paddy and a score every year.

Here's a tip - Don't knock on my fcuking door you scrounger.

BluesBerry · 07-12-2009 09:54PM

My mother used to give the bin men a tin of roses every year without fail
When the charges and new rules came in and didnt collect her bin one week because her bin lid was not closed all the way down t(aken into account forthnightly collections and 8 people in the house) it was not a pretty sight when they knocked on her door that year

I actually think the binmans ears bled when she was finished

Cupcake_Crisis · 07-12-2009 09:57PM

My mam used to give them a few quid years ago when they knocked. I always thought it was a bit cheeky tbh. I cant remember them knocking in the last couple of years...

Jet Black · 07-12-2009 10:03PM

My mam would go out to them and give them money and offer them tea. But them days have long passed.

RMD · 07-12-2009 10:03PM

My dad planned it perfectly last year.

A binman came up to the gaff and knocked on the door, obviously enough looking for a tip. My dad handed him two blacksacks that had been sitting in the shed for a while and smelt like ****e, swiftly closed the door before the binman could even say a word.

The bastard kicked the side of the bags, rupturing them and leaving the ****e for me and my dad to pick up while they drove off in the bin lorry.

yoshytoshy · 07-12-2009 10:06PM

Typical irish way of doing things ,

Tipping for a rubbish service :pac:

rainbowdrop · 07-12-2009 10:20PM

I'l be giving them a tip, and the coal man will be getting one as well. A tenner each they'll be getting!!*

I know they get their wages anyway, but feck it, they both do bloody dirty jobs imo and they deserve it. I wouldn't do what they do, and I don't think most of you here would do it either......

plein de force · 07-12-2009 10:23PM

if a bin man came knocking looking for money i'd tell him to fúck off

Run_to_da_hills · 07-12-2009 10:26PM

In the old days you took pity on them because they had a dirty job hauling galvanized bins and physically pitching them into the back of a truck. Now days they do F*all a and most get home early because a Wheely bin round takes a fraction of the time.

They are lucky to have a very stable job unlike most of us. Give them nothing and if they toss your bin inside your gate in rage then report them.:D

Hard Larry · 07-12-2009 10:45PM

I've got A Brown Bin, A Green Bin and a Black Bin...who the fcuk do I tip?

Do bin men still knock looking for money at Christmas?
