Walking my dog this evening, I stumbled upon proof that ELS (Entitled Lazy Slobs) live here despite what some might think....

I saw two mask just today on the ground

They’re everywhere north to south; I go across the Chitty Chatty Bridge about everyday and some filthy ass pigs are throwing out litter on the bridge.

It’s starting to show up exponentially since the return of the ‘birds.

You're going to blame this on "the birds"? The Birds who subsidize your daily existence? Those birds?

When we had recycling, there were some residents who took their junk mail home with them to recycle it. Of course the lazy ones didn't but that's another story. Now that the Villages is no longer recycling, people are dumping their junk mail at the post office. Clearly there is going to be a problem. We either need additional garbage receptacles, or they need to do more garbage pickups.

Talking about ELS, while walking with my wife in the grassy area near the dog park, I saw three greenish colored bags filled with dog waste.

Maintaining trash cans at the postal stations seems like a ridiculous waste of money. My postal station has 5 trash cans. If I can't put junk mail in them, will someone please tell me what I can put in them?

Lets take a step back and consider the source,
Who said it is ok for “them” to throw their useless phonebooks into my property?
And I suspect that I am somehow being charged for them too.

If the Post Office charged 1st class rates for ALL mail, the amount of junk mail and wasted resources would decrease dramatically. And the billions $ that taxpayers subsidize the USPS each year might not be required.

I see zero value in having a printed phone book...

as I tossed the one delivered overnight into the trash this morning I wondered how I might avoid receiving updated books 6 months from now, yet still get the paper

The newspaper has nothing to do with getting a phone book. Everyone gets it. And, I don't think there is any way to stop the phone book from coming.

Without the junk, there would probably be no postal service.
It is the junk that just about keeps the service viable.

Do not see how you can opt out of getting phone book, bad enough to get one but think we have now gotten 3. Why would anyone want so many?

Episode on Seinfeld that I believe Kramer wanted to opt out of getting mail. Cant be done either.

I'm new here: Is there an online version of the phone book? Yes, I know I can find most of the same information but there is some value in the layout of the existing book.

The conditions in the photo are inexcusable. I wouldn't treat my property or my neighbor's that way so why would I treat the mail station that way? Yes, I will deposit junk mail in the nearest receptacle which ideally would be before I get into my car but there is no excuse for what is shown in the photo.

I wonder why tossing books and papers on my driveway isn't considered littering. Can I take my unwanted books and papers and simply toss them on someone else's property? Sure, they didn't ask for my trash but I didn't ask for the phone book either. Maybe the trash guys will pick up the book if I don't?
