Ads Under Your Door

[Breukelen advocaat]

In NYC, everybody that doesn't have an armed guard outside their door gets inundated every day with these advertisements. Most of them are for restaurants, often Asian and Pizza places, including menus. Others are for car services and various businesses. Sometimes, they just leave them outside the door. I live in an apt. building with many units. We just had one stuck up through on the TOP part of he door so that it will fall when you open it.

If I hear the papers coming in the door, I flip them right back out while the person is still in the hallway.

There is a bill in Albany to make this type of advertising illegal in New York State. I hope it passes.

Do they do this outside of New York? I think it's big here because we have so many restaurants. You could have 20 Chinese restaurants and 10 pizza parlors all within a few blocks of each other. Most of them deliver, as well.

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.

In Holland they have a system for this.
The post office will give you stickers that say either 'Ja' or 'No', in various colors for various kinds of unsolicited mail.
You decide if you want junk mail or not, and what kind (commercial, political, etc).
Businesses caught violating the stickers are fined, and the consumer gets a cut.
You see a lot of 'no' stickers if you look at the mail boxes.

Telemarketers are fun.
If I have time, I try to get some entertainment value out of them before I hang up.
Ask them for their home number so you can call them back when they're eating dinner.

I get ads all the time dropped off in front of my door for new businesses opening, new restaurants, saving the river, etc. Gets pretty annoying opening your door and finding 100 new advertisements just laying on your porch. I live about 8 miles out of DC. SO yes it does happen outside of New York.
