We get one bi-weekly.
Can’t wait for the Rouse ads.
That’s what I use to cover the poop table in my chicken coop.

I called my paper fully prepared to fire up on them about all the papers. Turns out I didn’t have to get angry. They were really nice about it, and the papers in the drive stopped.

I have never heard more bitching in all of my life than some of the users on there. They will literally bitch about anything. Someone thought someone was picking their flowers they had planted not thinking they live where deer frequent their yard. Why would anyone think a person would go into someone's yard and steal flowers if their name wasn't Larry David?

I imagine they use the circulation numbers of the free ones to try to pad their “readership” for advertisers. Just collect them for a year and start dumping them In the driveway of the paper company office.

Absolutely noone reads these. So, it's just litter that we have to pick up and throw away.

So you're admitting you're lazy about taking 10 steps and want to remain ignorant of all the local current events?

How about the annual yellow page books that get thrown own your doorstep. No one has used a phone book in 20 years but you still have to throw them away. How they are not fined for littering is crazy.

3 old baws ride through my neighborhood on Sunday evenings in a white single cab early 2000’s pickup. 1 standing in the back and 2 in the cab. It took me about 3 times running them down and telling them sternly not to throw at my house before they finally stopped. I live on a dead end so it’s a little easier to catch them after they go to the end and are coming back up. Hate that shite in my driveway.

Yep, I got tired of having to go out of my way to pick these damn things up all the time, so I signed right up as soon as they introduced the Do Not Toss list, and they stopped days later.

I have maybe gotten 1 or 2 since. But no big deal.

My nephew is a burglar. The free papers piled in the driveway are very helpful for him to spot houses where no one is home.

Exactly this. Easy to stop them from being delivered.

Figure most people would start by calling the company responsible, but they work themselves up in a Facebook group frenzy.
