I am really annoyed at the amount of garbage companies - some of whom I have never even done business with - force me to throw away.

To Sierra Trading Post, Norm Thompson, and Omaha Steaks: Yes, I ordered from your website. That was because I want to shop online. I do not want to shop from catalogs. If I want anything else from you, I know where your website is because I’ve ordered things from it before. Stop sending me your freaking catalogs. (And Norm Thompson, the one thing I bought from you sucked anyway. You should have a disclaimer that your products are meant for middle-aged women.)

To the phone company: WTF? Why have I gotten three sets of phone books in the 17 months I have lived here? I am not even your customer, nor have I ever been. T-Mobile, whose customer I actually am, doesn’t leave heavy phone books on my porch so that I have to lug them to the dumpster. Why do you? Seriously. Why is it OK for you to drop garbage off on my front porch when I have never had any doings with you whatsoever?

Maybe I should save all the phone books and drop them off at the phone company’s doorstep once I have too many to carry at once.
