Break Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 [SIZE=1]GAH! I hate mine... it sucks... I was delivering on the doorsteps with this thin THIN leaflet thing, and I couldn't get it in the letter box because it was too frail and then the lady comes out the door and says, "If you can't put it trhrough the letter box, I don't want it." So then I scowled and took the leaflet away. Anyway, who has one? And in america, don't you get to chuck the papers at the doors? That sounds fun... PS. NO MORE DAILY OTAKU...!![/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 [SIZE=1]Lol! Chuck papers at the doors, that's funny. You people watch too many of our movies or something, lol. Or at least they don't do that here in Omaha. Our paper boy just walks up to the house and sets it in front of the door, although, by then my dog is barking his head off at the dude and scares him away. So now the paper boy only comes so close to the house and tosses it towards our door. So ya, I guess they [i]do[/i] do that :laugh: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALFIE!!!! (<-- my dog :))[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorykoAngelcry Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1]We have this guy who drives around a station wagon, and just drops the newspapers at the end of the driveway. Another friend drove around in his beat up Ford, and does the same thing (dropping them off at the end of the driveway). One of my friends in Michigan who I chat with on AOL helps her mother deliver newspapers, and since they go together, I would also assume that they drop off the newspapers. About throwing them to the doors. . . I have to go with PiroMunkie and say that I have only seen people throwing them in movies or in video games. Other then that. .who knows :D[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiroMunkie Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 [SIZE=1]I used to share a paper route with my brother, and it was funny cause I always got the tips. And we had an afternoon route. Except on weekends when we had to getup early, but I just let my brother do those days, lol[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Videl~ Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I had a paper round years ago. I had to get up at 6am and only got paid £2.50 an hour:( It sucked a lot but I needed the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1]I am with LM on this. Our paper'people' drop off the newspaper anywhere from 2:00am - 5:00am. Although I usually pass out around 6:00am - 10:00am, I still don't see myself doing this. . I could be here posting, on AOL chatting, on GAMECUBE playing, at a friends house having fun. . why would I want to drop off newspapers at THAT time? . . Dropping it off in the evening though wouldn't be too bad. . guess it just depends on what size town you live in and all that, right? ^_^[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiroMunkie Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 [SIZE=1]Lol, I remember that game, I was really bad at it. That's kinda beside the point though. I liked working with my brother on our route, it was fun, though the pay was split 25%-75% and I got the lower half. But hey, I was only 10 or such so it was enoguh to keep me happy :)[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
