Restaurant solicitations
I hate the practice of certain restaurants who leave stacks of takeout menus in the foyer of our building or slide them under our door. Um, it's kind of like going to someone's home and throwing your garbage all over the floor. DH once had the idea of saving them all and then walking into one of the restaurants, throwing the menus in the air, and yelling "Happy Birthday!" or "Surprise!" I will never patronize any restaurant that does this. Ever. Not surprisingly, the restaurants that I like either don't need to do this or are considerate enough to send the menu in the mail.
ETA a day later.... I can't even believe I forgot the whole point about this post. Yesterday, my brain was not functioning well apparently. Just minutes before I wrote this, I hear something from under my door. Sometimes it's newsletters from the building so I went over to look. A menu from a crappy Chinese takeout place. I opened the door and told the guy I didn't want menus put under my door.
Re: Restaurant solicitations
I love it. Just the right measure of whimsy, spite and righteousness!
They would cram them into our mailbox (which we did not use) and I'd leave them there, thinking maybe they'd get the drift...but no, when we cleared it out upon moving there were mulitples of each, and each very, very unappetizing.
lol, it actually doesn't bother me that much. It only annoys me when they do it do it ALL the time. There's a sushi place that slides 2 of their menus under my office door like every week, enough already.
cheeky - thank the RI girls for picking a challenge that doesn't require you delicious looking food in your siggy
lol
There is a new pile of them under the main building door every other day. Grr! The dumb thing is they put like 50 menus there and there are only 20 units in the building! Such a waste.
I love the "suprise!!!" idea.

Ooh. Yes, it's even worse when they try to get it into the mailbox through that tiny little space.
