What should I do?
07.07.06 (1:54 pm)   [edit]

I live in a fairly upscale neighborhood. 2-3x a week, my mailbox and driveway are littered with business cards in plastic bags with some rocks (to keep them from blowing away) soliciting lawn service, maid service, roofing, painting, etc.

However, sometimes, they use scotch tape to affix to the mailbox. A black metal mailbox that is scorching hot in the summer sun and melts into the paint, so when you remove it, it takes the paint off.

Then the Nazi Homeowners Association fines you for the mailbox. And we can't go to a plastic mailbox.

So I called Mitxi's Cleaning Service and left her a message. Saying that I was calling about the card they had left on my mailbox. So she called me a few mins later, perky, thinking I was a prospective customer. Told her about how her card damaged my mailbox. I suggested that perhaps they at least use a rubber band to attach it or just leave it in the driveway.

She didn't offer any sort of apology. She just said "Uh-huh". Had she apologized or made any sort of concession, I would have

I'm really tempted to repaint my mailbox and send her the bill with photos and a demand for payment. And then get a magnet on the side that says "DO NOT POST anything on this mailbox or I will sue you for any damage it causes"

That should make a point? THoughts?

take it up with the neighbood association... bet a lot of folks are annoyed by the practice and you might be able to get support for having all flyers left at a central location for pickup by those folks who want them... I know some places do that.

My Nazi association is more interested in blowing $6k on a bbq for 20 people (1/2 kids) that attended.

I'm sending the woman an email and going to find out what it costs to replace/repaint it. I'm in a bitch mode. I got some magnetic business cards. I'm going to put on there "DO NOT POST ANY SOLICITATIONS ON THIS MAILBOX"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am surprised that your association even allows solicitations of any sort. You should tell them you are fed up and have a sign posted saying "no solicitations allowed here" upon entrance to your community.

Just a thought.
