Ads Under Your Door

Unfortunately yes...I don't think we'd need nearly as many mail carriers if it weren't for Chinese resturants...lol. It's very frustrating.

I also hate when tele-marketers call my house.
I just can't be rude to anyone, so I nicely say "We're not interested".
My husband is not quite so nice.
He'll curse them out and hang up on them
I've heard that there is a 1-800 number you can call to get on the "no call" list, but I can't find it anywhere.

This is the biggest problem at our house. Our phone rings more then you will know because of telemarketers. I will estimate that we probably get about 2 or 3 calls an hour from telemarketers. My personal opinion on why is because my dad used to do all those surveys and shit online and give out our phone number. Well I found out the number and called it to stop telemarketing on your cell phone! Yes this is new, telemarketers are allowed to call your cell phone unless you call a government number to take your number off the list. But as for our house phone it just rings 24/7 and it is the most loud and annoying thing ever. If I had it my way i would just unplug the phone but people call for work on the phone so we cant.

We get 'em in Texas for sure, too, and I hate them. I live in an area that's supposedly protected from solicitors, but the walkers and ad-spreaders get in every day and place ads all over our front porches, doors, etc. The environmental cost of all that crap ad stuff is huge, and if we can have laws protecting us from computer spam and telemarketers, why can't we have them protecting us from the hard-copy stuff, too? Door-posting ads and trash mail are two of my environmental pet peeves.
