Don’t the phone books know that we can get all their information plus more if we look on the internet?
here is a list I have come up with:
Phone book: Internet:
phone number phone number
address address
picture…maybe picture
??? map of location
directions to location
website
surrounding area info
competitors info
I thought about approaching it from the “with the Internet, you don’t need a phone book” mindset. However, in my job as a retail computer sales sleaze, I encounter many a person who doesn’t have an Internet connection. I’m always amazed that they found their way to the store.
we get the same shit. i swear every time i turn around there is another phone book on my door step. i’m really surprised that the treehuggers of the world aren’t having a colossal fit over this.
i actually tied to use one of the phone books once, but i couldn’t remember how. i just kept looking for the “i’m feeling lucky” button…
I really hate that shit too.

Heather’s comment is worth repeating…

Maybe they know you are short and needed a little boost when you sit in chairs so you can feel like a big boy?
Damn, I knew I shouldn’t have thrown the extras out! Hopefully two phone books will be enough to overcome my Napoleon Complex.

What the hell is a phone book?
It’s something people tear in half to show off their strength.
