To the individual who removed my ‘No flyers please’ notice: there are other activities you could be performing in your spare time besides scraping your fingernails against the metal surfaces of neighourhood post office boxes for the purpose of removing the small pieces of paper affixed with tape thereon, which contain helpful messages penned in green pencil crayon. I trust you can find it within yourself to discover a more rewarding, and appropriate, hobby. You can do it! I BELIEVE IN YOU. —Nicole

The postman doesn’t like green crayons.
Maybe he thought the sign was a flyer? I like this positive bitch. Keep hope alive, Nicole.
The postman doesn’t like the Oxford comma, either
How dare you try to take a mail carrier’s job away from them by denying them the job of delivering ads and political pamphlets to your box.
So write the “no flyers” message on a piece of masking tape and stick it inside the box where the postie can see it but vandals can’t. Easy peasy.
I always found the “no flyers” signs weird. It sounds like they are trying to keep pilots from entering their home.
That’s actually pretty funny. I always take my crap mail and slide it down into the slot below mine. Wonder if they’ve noticed yet….
