A new reason to be pissed at Globe Direct
By adamg on Fri, 06/20/2014 - 3:17pm
At a meeting earlier this week, Boston city councilors vowed to call Globe Direct to account for its litterin' ways. When they call their hearing, though, maybe they need to reserve some time to talk about the behavior of Globe Direct delivery people. A Roslindale resident reports on an incident yesterday:
I was sitting in my house on Cummins Highway (by Sacred Heart) watching TV when I heard someone yelling "I've got to take a piss!" I look outside and see an older gentleman with no shirt on walking down along side my house, drop 6-7 Globe Direct bundles and take a piss behind my garage! I couldn't believe it but couldn't get to my phone in time to get a picture. I screamed at him and he took off heading down towards Roslindale Square.

Can we just
can we just start a boycott of ALL advertisers who put ads in that nuisance trash?? I'd start a list but that would mean I'd have to ever open a globe direct to know who to boycott.
Market Basket, Star Market, Stop & Shop, Rite Aid
are the main advertisers where I live (Davis Square), sometimes joined by Family Dollar.
For those of you in areas served by other supermarket chains, do Roche Brothers or Hannaford or Wegman's ever distribute their circulars this way?
Hannaford does...
... alongside several local-to-Watertown-or-Waltham stores.
But in Watertown they come in the mail.
Globe DIrect
In Roslindale & West Roxbury, Roche Bros. & Wegman's advertise through the mail.
I blame
Scot with one t Lehigh. He deserves a share of the blame for peeing litterers.
It's Official!
Globe Direct has now entered the elite pantheon of the Greek gods of Uhub-dom:
In no particular order:
Bikes
MBTA
Storrowing
French Toast Alerts
Griping at Citizen's Connect Connectors for griping in the first place
Space Savers
and now - Globe Direct
Oh yeah - did I say bikes.
Oh, it's worse...
In my neighborhood, the Globe Directs are delivered by traffic-law ignorant bicyclists who buzz red lights and scare seniors. They get the papers from 12' foot delivery trucks, stuck under Storrow overpasses.
I should be so lucky!
Here, they're delivered by belligerent wild turkeys.
Let's not forget the classic
Let's not forget the classic Rock 'N Fitness thread that is my personal favorite Uhub moment.
You forgot:
You forgot:
Space Savers
Affordable Housing
And also
Storrow Drive'd trucks and buses
Neighborhood boundaries
St. Patrick's Day parade (seasonal)
Don't forget
space savers.
In the immortal words of Adam
Fixed!
Too Kind
I wouldn't have described him as a "gentleman".

The worst part
Rain will wash off the piss, but that asshole made a mess too.
When you gotta go
You gotta go. I'm surprised we don't have men, women and children pissing all over the place considering the giant containers of soda, big gulps, coffee drinks, etc. I see people sucking on all the time. We as a species must be evolving and developing camel humps or something. Gid help you if you're anyplace away from your home and you gotta pee. Good luck with that.
