An Open Letter to YellowBook

One more reason to hate Yellowbook.

Dear Yellowbook:

Today you littered my neighborhood. You left yellow bags with your directories in them at each home. They’ll lay there for many days — perhaps weeks.

It’s not so much that I didn’t ask for this delivery, or the colossal waste of paper, that bothers me. It’s that you couldn’t even bother to put in on my doorstep. Instead, you left the Yellowbook at the edge of my driveway. Actually more on the street than the driveway.

That creates some problems. First, the edge of my driveway is much further away from the trashcan than my front porch. And the Yellowbook goes straight into my trash can. Second, the neighborhood dogs like to pee on Yellowbooks. If it’s at the edge of the driveway, it’s an easy target. Much easier than if it’s on my front porch.

That means I have to touch a pee covered book in order to throw it into the trash. Of course, if I found some sort of use out of your directory, I still wouldn’t be able to use it since it is now soaked.

So I beg of you. If you’re going to deliver a heap of trash, please at least make the effort to bring it to my front door.
