Getting annoyed by the endless stream of plastic charity bags that come through your door.
Feeling guilty because you've run out of stuff to give to charities.
Then getting even more annoyed because they never seem to be collected when you leave them empty on your front step on the appointed day.
Then feeling even more guilty when you use them as rubbish bags.
Charities: Before one of you chaps gets lucky and ends up with a huge bag full of unused charity bags on my front doorstep, can we come to some sort of arrangement where you - like - don't bother at all?
FACT: If you laid all the unused charity bags delivered in Britain in the last year end-to-end, you will have utterly wasted your life.

Got one today which stated that the items collected would be "sold in Eastern Europe" and that the company would donate £50 a week to a charity in Britain.
All of which led me to think this may be a scam.

I got one a couple of years back and it deters most junk including charity bags. There's still the odd deliverer who thinks it doesn't apply to them but I get far far fewer leaflets and general crap through the door.
Take it to a clothing bank or a charity shop. At least that way you know it's not going to a Romanian gang...
Organ donors? You signed the card? Right, I've got you down for two kidneys and a leg.
When Clegg's 5p bag tax kicks in they'll be worth a fortune. Next year Rodders ....
