[ARCHIVED THREAD] - People putting flyers on cars

Posted: 8/30/2004 7:39:37 AM EDT

Every so often I'll walk out to my car and find a piece of paper, usually an advertisement for a business, stuck under the wiper or wedged in the rubber strip along the window. While always mildly annoyed at this, I sometimes wonder about the legality. I mean, if I take that piece of paper off my car and throw it to the ground, I'm guilty of littering, right?

That always pisses me off because I really cant just throw trash on the ground....granted its not my fkn fault the thing is on my truck, but im not going to trash my own community either.

I usually call the number of the business on the flier and scream at them, tell them a little bit about themselves, and mention that if I catch them touch my fkn truck again the next phone call will be for an ambulance. I know it gets nothing accomplished, and it may be stupid, but I always feel a lot better after yelling at these assholes.

While I can't say my reaction is quite that, uh, passionate, I have been known to call them and politely tell them that their flyer backfired.

The reason I posted this is that I walked out to my truck this morning and found a flyer on it...from the local PD's "crime prevention" section, suggesting that I not leave valuables in my car. I even saw the cop walking around putting them on cars. He told me, "we're just trying to help people from getting their things taken". I didn't object...I'm pretty sure I saw a tazer on his utility belt.

I throw them on the ground of the parking lot I'm parked in. When the store owners see them laying on the ground, they'll be more apt to keep an eye out for this crap and will stop it.

I know they won't allow it at the Home Depot here in my town.

Actually caught a guy putting them on cars in a Wal-Mart parking lot once. He was walking straight for my truck when I yelled at him. "Don't put that on my truck!"

He kept walking towards it even though he acknowledge he heard me. I sprinted on to my truck about the time he was lifting up the windsheild wiper. "I SAID DON'T PUT THAT ON MY TRUCK!!!"

So the dumbass tried to hand it to me.

"It's just some advertising."

I just went around him and got into my truck and drove off.

Whenever I see a business do that it tells me one thing. They're business is cheap. If they really wanted to advertise they would do so through the local paper or Yellow Pages.

I never do flyers for my business.

I do the same, but from a pay phone and change ambulance to hearse and add a little more graphic language.
Then call from home later and complain like a normal person. Usually they exlpain that due to fear for their staff they have changed their policies and no longer flyer cars.

Feels better than littering
