why the fuck are phonebooks still mailed out?

[D'struction]

Is Eastern Washington Canada? I swear we get ours in plastic baggies too haha... love phonebooks. They don't leave a bruise

In Canada phonebooks come in plastic bags like milk.

this is actually true....probably because they just leave them on peoples steps and they wont get ruined by rain or snow in the bags

i think once this 65+ generation dies out a lot of these old customary things like phone books will become extinct

Mine just show up on the front porch in a bag. I toss them in the closet and never use them.

They tried to ban phone books from being mass delivered to everyone in Seattle, and despite overwhelming popular support, the phone book companies sued to lift the ban and won lol.

I will use it for local services.
The local services you pull up on a search engine will generally pull up companies with budgets high enough to afford SEO or PPC.

Where as "Mike's local plumbing" with his $50 ad is more likely to give you a cheaper rate than a larger company.

When I was a kid and we ran outta toilet paper and had no money my mom would put the phone book in the bathroom. I must have only been like 4 years old then so this was back in like 1982 and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Worst toilet paper ever. So yeah fuck the phonebook.

[Grapes Of Wrath]

its hilarious how many caution orange bags of phone books be sittin by the dumpster the day they deliver them. i know the sanitation people get pissed

and they dont give u just one..
they give u two full sized and a slightly smaller but exactly the same version.

the last time you used a payphone and/or phone book it was probably a bad day

If you don't use phone books how do you order pizza?

 

[azryda420]

Some old lady rang my doorbell and told me to do something about my phonebooks on the doorstep. ...................................


I told her to put them in her walker basket and dip the fuck to the trashcan if she's got beef with 'em.

Yaddadamean cotton top ?

 

[Ne Obliviscaris]

Now that I've opted out, every phone book i recieve as well as all my neighbors will be de;ivered to the ciry councel office for the purposes of free speech.
