Flyers Nuisance

A picture paints a thousand words.that's the way it is. Would you categorise the distribution of flyers to houses  as  a  public nuisance ?

I am sure that if not all, most of us have experienced this. This  form of irritation   can drive us  overboard each time we  discover that   letters in our   boxes are  soiled by the rain a result of the way these flyers were place in the box.

 Most of those involved are foreigners and I just can't understand, don't they have letter boxes in their country or is it  because back home they use pigeon service? Some  locals are involved and sadly they behave in the same stupid manner too.

Moreover don't they not know  the purpose of a letter box ?One thing for sure these numskulls were  not specifically brief  on their role. Perhaps this is  merely a case of ' come take these bundle of flyers and go distribute them'. These numskulls too seems not to have the slightest idea of  the consequences of their actions.Wonder why these numskulls can't just push the whole flyers into the letter box but   prefer instead to stick them halfway in  the letter box slot and caused the slot door be left ajar.


A tongue sticking out
All documents in the box are left to the mercy of the torrential KL thunderstorm.Each time after a heavy downpour  all our letters  will be drenched and soggy.  Is this a difficult assiignment or are they specifically told to do it like way? Irrespective ot the type of letter boxes you have they just do the same. These numskulls just do not bother even slip flyers even though the house has been abondoned. How are these people paid if it is based on the number of flyers distributed than most employers are in for a ride as they too can just dump some or all flyers into the dustbin rub their hands  and return to collect what was due for the day. 
 
Maybe  some someone can come out with  water proof envelopes to eradicate this problem.It's sickkening to see important documents soiled by rain water making it illegible. The consequences can be disastrous and often also result in lost of valuable apportunities.

My instinct urges me to lay ambush and pounce on these numskulls and conduct a simple in service training regarding this. Putting a note by the side of our letter boxes telling these numskulls to do exactly what we want  done with the flyers too is a waste of time. After all local or foreigners just can be bothered and prefer the easy way out.

So, we expect the employers to brief their 'macai'  how exactly this needs to be done.Unfortunately they just don't bother either. The employers probably resides in apartments or condos and to them they dont't encounter  this problem that  we face.

Now, considering our important documents are soiled or ruined.Obviously this can sometimes caused a lost of business or other opportunities.Under this circumstance can those companies responsible be sued for such losses inflicted on us by their 'macai' with regards to the flyers problem? Probably a test case is necessary and only through this process will it drive some sense into the heads of those irresponsible lot?

So for heaven sake, as a amicable solution, let's hope they do it the right way.
