Phone Books

[Engine09]

I think it's been 3 weeks now that they dropped off the new phone books outside in front of my apartment. No one wanted them so they sat there for a while, then they got rained on and no one even cares enough to throw them in the garbage. I'm going to get rid of them tomorrow.

When was the last time you actually opened a phone book? Why are we still printing these heavy pieces of crap?

More importantly, why are they printing out three companies worth?

It's not only the 'Pages' anymore (white and yellow) but they have ez finder and corporate pages too. And all get delivered to every home.

What a waste.

I am assuming it's one of the latter you are talking about. They are sitting in my condo vestabule too.

No one wants them.

EDIT: Yup, the EZ Finder...

The Pages don't come out until early fall...

I use them... trouble is you can never find it at our place...

Edit: TO Clarify, its never where it SHOULD be when you want to find a number (in the drawer) someone has used it and Left it somewhere else.

Sometime I go searching for it, and like 5 min later I find it where is SHOULD be.

GRRR

Come get some of ours... We've got like 20 of them sitting there for a few weeks.

Are they Lloydminster Phone books?

^^^ No, as stated above, they are EZ Finder business listings focusing on the Calgary area.

I think your first post needed some clarifcation...

Wow confusion

I fixed my post. and TBH I guess I never fully read yours

Lol no worries, it's late. I just thought it was funny people (well two of us so far) were complaining about the amazing amount of wasted paper for Calgary books and you show up saying, you don't have one, but a few posts later... Oh, did I mention I'm looking for Llyodminster?

Wait you guys don't use them for feats of strength? With the invention of the internet i thought that was the only reason they still printed those things.

And as bullet proof vests.

They tried to drop off 3 of them to my store. I politely said I didn't need them, thank-you. The mom screamed at me from the front of my store: YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM!. To which I replied: "No, I don't. I will just recycle them anyways." (I had just finished throwing 10 of them out a couple of weeks ago) So her and her daughter stormed out in a huff.
So I called a number in the phone book letting them know what horrible service I had just received and that it wasn't acceptable or proffessional.
Within a day, someone called back apologizing and saying that the people that are dropping them off are fundraising (and that the mother/daughter were raising money for some christian group) and that they were required to drop off 3 books per store (seems a little excessive to me) and that if anyone refused all they had to do was just tick them off their list as not wanting them.
Lesson for today: Never yell at a Scorpio... I'll just turn around and sting you
