Daily Dose of Frustration – Phone Books

I’m sick of telephone books.  There’s another one laying at the end of our driveway right now.  The first one of the new year but it certainly won’t be the last.  I threw away two during the last clean sweep weekend.  There’s one under our bed. One in the office on top of the scanner.  One in Michelle’s room.  One on the library cart in the office.  One inside of the little cabinet in the office.  Did I mention I threw two away during the last clean sweep weekend? 

Enough already!

I don’t live in some big metropolis that requires 3 volumes for the yellow pages and 3 volumes for the white pages.  Heck, I don’t even need a phone book for the most part – unless the electricity or the internet is out, it’s faster and easier to just look at one of the yellow page services online.

Couldn’t we have a "do not deliver" list for phone books like the "do not call" list for telephone spammers?  I DON’T NEED ANOTHER PHONE BOOK!  Really I don’t. Now if someone would deliver cigarettes and coffee, that’s a delivery I could use.

  1. lol. There was a depanneur/restaurant that opened my first year of university. As long as you ordered food they would deliver cigarettes *and* beer.

    The food was yummy too…

  2. I hear you! I can’t remember the last time I used one, yet I have a about 200 pounds of phone books I am afraid to toss! No worries, there is only 4 million people here in the metro area!

  3. 4 million people? That’s a lot of phone book!

    Lee – we have to move to someplace like NYC or Montreal or something.

    Monkey – shush, you Canadians in big cities don’t need to rub it in! 😉
