I saved the plastic bag for the bathroom trash can as a liner and tossed the YellowBook into the trash.
Then Thursday afternoon I got an automated call asking if I'd received it. I hung up before the call was done. Whatever the YellowBook is and whoever distributes it pissed me off twice, first by leaving a few pounds of trash at my front door and then with an unsolicited marketing phone call.
A few times a year I get the same kind of thing, but from someone called YellowPages. I vaguely remember them as having a relevance many years ago, but they always go directly into the trash too, walking fingers or not.
Ya gotcha them there InnerTubes, ya don't need them there Yellow thingies. Angie'sList does just fine by me when I need a service and I trust my own judgement, experience and friends' recommendations on other stuff.
Why do these people persist in leaving a buying guide for buggy whips on my porch? And how do they hypnotize retail and service sellers into buying ineffective advertising?
