When did you last use a phone book?

I'm pretty sure it was the summer before I turned 18 and my friend Derek and I looked in the local yellow pages for "escort services". We tried calling a couple of them, but they were quick to tell we were immature kids, so we resorted to prank calling a couple more of them before getting into some other kind of mischief.

Didn't even have one for my Granddaughter to use as a booster seat, recently. From the porch to the recycle bin for at least five years.

Just so everyone knows, you can contact your telephone company and ask to stop delivery of them... They're happy to not print them, they are required by regulations to provide them unless you specifically decline.

Now THAT's useful information. Thanks.

I called 'em up, told them I don't want any books ever again. So far, two years without having to toss them in the trash. There were some years I'd get 2-3 copies of the same damn phone book because the ones distributing them don't care where they're dumped.

We dropped our land line about 7yrs ago and we still get phone books ever year, they just throw them out at every driveway.

I don't have a land line for voice, but have DSL... and their system makes no differentiation- had to tell them not to deliver for the DSL line, either.

What about cases where you don't have a telephone company and never have had one in Colorado in the 12 years you've lived here, but they still deliver one to my door and another pallet of them to our neighborhood club house, every year....

that's a sub-contractor problem, probably... so your house was never wired? likely you have a telephone company, you just don't use them. Remember they're a public regulated utility.
