2 thumbs & a dummy

Just when you thought that people were more environmentally friendly and have decreased the use of paper for advertisements that residents just chuck out into the bin without looking at it, you get a constant stream of junk mail choc block in your mailbox! Grrr…..

I find that really annoying and as much as I understand why it needs to be done ie. advertisement and what not, I don’t really care to look at it. What I normally do is I clean it out and make sure there aren’t any of my mails stuck in between and it all goes into the bin. More often than not, the job of clearing out junk mail is done by our unit cleaners. They are the ones who cut the grass and clear out the bins and stuff. And he normally cleans out any junk mail he sees sticking out. And most of the time I appreciate it but sometimes I also wonder if he checks to see that the junk mail he tosses out might have some actual real mail in between. Guess you can’t really have your cake and eat it. Could be the reason why I had missed out on that parcel pick-up notification too. Who knows?

One of the most common things that end up in the bin is insurance offers. They are like the plaque. I mean, if people really wanted insurance, I’m sure they will go out and look for it. If ever we were looking for quotes, it would have to be an auto insurance quote coz our rego is expiring soon and Ted hasn’t really been looking about much lately. And….ok, maybe some home protection insurance too I guess. Apparently the crime rate in the area is hiking up so it’s better to be safe than sorry, I guess.
