Call me a bitch but I have made the people come back and pick up what they put on my door. 

I receive constant Realtor tags, gardening service, Avon books, Northwest Voice and other ads on my door or driveway especially on the weekend.  Items that I have not in anyway requested or asked for. 

One day as I was leaving, I happen to open the door as someone was walking down my walk way.  As the door opened, a little paper fell from the door jam.  I stopped and looked at it laying there. Noticing it was a postcard with the picture of the lady who was walking away about wanting to sell my house.  I spoke up and said politely  "Excuse me could I have a moment of your time?" The lady was all to eager to come back as to possible obtain a new client.  I stood where the card was on the ground.  She shook my hand.  I ask politely. "Could you please hand me that card"?  "I don't litter on your home so please don't litter on mine."  Shocked by what I had just asked she politely picked it up, huffed and puffed.  She turned and immediately walked back to her car down the street and left.  I am not going to apologize for someone else unwarranted solicitation. For someones litter.  I believe there is a litter law?  I have been know to mail the items back to the people that put them on my door step.  I personally hate to have that junk on my door step. 

This type of advertising makes me mad.  Only because it can compromise someones safety and security of their homes.  How many people notice when someone does not pick up there paper or other items for several days that they might not be home.  This is a great way for thieves to take notice.  I personally have been gone on vacation for several days and have come home to discolored advertising on my door step and door knob.  I keep my home secure by why should others help thieves take ,note to a empty home.  I really think there should be something that we has individuals can do about this nuisance.

Also many individuals use their garages as an entrance to their homes.  They drive up to their home, open the garage door, then drive into their garages and then close their garage door.  Never once going to their front door.  Think of what it is like to come out your front door and notice a stack of gardening service offers, pizza discounts, real estate cards and many more that appear to have been there for a few days or weeks.

It's bad enough to sort out all the mail in our mail boxes but also our front doors and driveways!

Ditto with Papa-O.

A shade off topic, but I wonder how many other people suffer from a different sort of paper annoyance -- an annoyance even more prolific than those "tree service" business cards that seem to fall like autumn leaves?

I refer to the "FINAL NOTICE!!!"  "LAST CHANCE to extend your expiring vehicle warranty!!!" cards that arrive 4-6 times per month, from the same company, for years on end.

Could I sue them for false advertising?  After 60 "final notices," it starts to ring a little hollow.
