The problem comes after the first month or so when you start getting repeat literature. The biggest offender in my area was a local take-away, who'd put a leaflet through my door once a week. The same leaflet. But they read my sign, so that's OK. I'd agree about dislike working with people though, people suck.

I do this job because I dislike working with people and this is one of the only jobs that you can do where you don't have to put up with (many) other people getting on your nerves. I don't put leaflets through letterboxes with a legible sign saying not to, but I get grief from people who don't have a sign up. Why should they? Er, because I'm not psychic. Companies PAY to get leaflets printed and distributed but it is the people like me, who don't want to sit on their back side all day on the dole, who have to put up with nonsense from certain individuals who like moaning. Campaign to get it made illegal if you are that bothered!!!! Oh no, that would take more effort than having a rant on your doorstep.... Not all leaflet distributors ignore ‘no junk mail’ signs.

Still, I wonder if there's a way to opt out of mass mailings with the Royal Mail? *checks* Apparently there is: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400126&mediaId=500081 But: "Election material is not delivered by the Door to Door service and is therefore not affected by this opt out." Balls. Oh rats, I didn’t even think about that. Still, I wonder if there’s a way to opt out of mass mailings with the Royal Mail?
