I almost call it spam, but it’s not, I guess. The flyers. The coupon books. The big green envelope full of ads for items “as seen on tv!!!”
We have put our names on every registry I can think of for “no flyers” “no junk mail” etc. etc. etc., but it’s still coming. Every week, there are at least two Home Depot flyers (there is no Home Depot in our town), stuff from McDonald’s (yes because my ass absolutely needs a Big Mac right now) and very exciting “Occupant, you may have already won…” official envelopes.
How. Do we. MakeItStop?!
I mean, we recycle it, I guess that’s the best we can do… but I don’t wanna be getting this crap in the first place.
Also, ironically (maybe… friggin Alanis), the one piece of “junk mail” we WANT to receive– the grocery store flyer? Yeah. they don’t send those out. You have to go to the store to get one.
Ever since I put my phone on the national “Do Not Call” Registry, the paper ads have picked up where the telemarketers left off. It’s more than a little annoying.
