One of the jobs that shouldn’t even exist in the first place
I get that they’re just doing their jobs according to a rulebook they didn’t write, but at the same time, womp womp.
If a neighbour shits in their bed and calls into you asking for help cleaning it up, they’re getting the door slammed on them.
It’s not their fault, but the more I think about it, the more it’s a total waste of our money and makes no sense. It’s just a handout to the TV license contractors.
We pay the T.V license, and that funds the whole collection apparatus. The inspectors and everyone else who is involved.
That doesn’t cover the cost of RTE so the government also needs to pay them and review RTE costs.
They should either be privatised or just funded at source. We are just paying and paying through multiple channels and it makes no sense.
Well chances are their job won’t exist in a few years, so they’ll get some redundancy or a transfer elsewhere within An Post.
We should be allowed to put license inspectors in those wicker man yokes and set them on fire, like in that one Nicholas Cage film whose name escapes me at the moment.
I know they try to peep through windows… I do not feel comfortable with that, is it not illegal?
Job would be great now.
Boss: Well, what happened today?
Me: I got told fuck off a lot
Boss: OK
When in fact I didn’t knock on a single fucking door.
The simple idea of a TV licence is bonkers. Straight out of a 70’s sitcom. I tell people about this as a joke when they ask about ireland or dublin
The reality of rte fucking around with taxpayers money and finding out the consequences. Fuck them.
In college I had one turn up to our house with a Garda and ask to come in and look around to see if we had a tv. I think the Garda was there because it was a student area. The justification was that there was an aerial on the roof. One of the guys shouted out in a thick country accent “just because ive milk In the fridge doesn’t mean ive a cow in the garden.” They left pretty quickly after that.
Another time we caught one looking through the window and then wanted to again search. Instead we brought the “tv” out to the driveway to them. it was a big monitor.
Their powers of search are actually insane. They could have forced the issue and searched if they wanted.
Finally, some good news!

It should be scrapped.
It won’t be scrapped, but it should be!!
If anything they’ll be back soon enough trying to get it changed from TV licence to device licence so anyone with a tv, mobile phone, tablet, computer and all that jazz will need one.
Good.
Good.
A job that wouldn’t exist without people willing to do it. Fuck the lot of them.
I would have thought it was easier, they know no one is paying so shouldn’t be bothered leaving the office. They can play minesweeper all day
Good. You’ll never catch me!
What will they do with all their radar equipped vans?!

My home is filled with 100,000 live rats. I keep them crazed and wild and hungry. I am just waiting for a knock on the door from the inspector……
It’s not a telly it’s a computer monitor
Strike when they’re weak! One last push
No, really, I am.
