These bastards should have to drive by my house and pick-up this unsolicited waste of paper. In fact, the City should require them to pay a huge permit fee to leave these things on everyone’s doorstep.

Sorry, the whole phone book thing really pisses me off, and I get at least four a year.

Haha, sorry Bob.

Actually, most phone books are not a service of the telephone company but are run by marketing agencies. For example, The Real Yellow Pages. I get one phone company book, which includes the white pages, and about three different yellow page books.

My frustration is with waste. Wow, to my surprise someone has created an entire non-profit around this: http://www.yellowpagesgoesgreen.org/
I can’t say I’m annoyed enough to start a non-profit, but it looks like they do a good job outlining most of the reasons I don’t like phonebooks.

Making up facts here, but I’d bet that 9/10 phonebooks are cycled crisp, in original condition.

I don’t have a home phone and have had 5 books littered on my doorstep. If a cop saw me throw that same amount of paper on the ground I would think I would get a ticket.
