Business Card inside my car door - damages/repairs owed? RANT

[gnihcraes]

Post the info from the card. I'm sure lots of us on the site would like a reputable shop to frequently call for advice and with questions about proper tire pressure, recommendations on windshield wiper fluid, etc.

I'm waiting to see if they respond to the issue before posting the information. But again, it appears this shop has reputation issues already, not sure it would be of any significance.

I agree with Hbar in regards to not touching other people's property, that goes for business cards, flyers, in passing, with shopping cart, etc. That being said, I don't stroke out if someone puts a flyer or business card on my car, and feel it's a bit ridiculous filing a police report over it.

I've already had a few strokes, what's one more. I wanted a bit of documentation I guess - if the shop/owners make some kind of threat or anything else stupid related to my request to have the card removed. I wanted documentation to go with it ahead of time. Maybe there will be others to complain to PD or RTD. Good to have that documented. ? Not much of a waste of time for PD, it was an online report and it just gets put into the database. I'm not one to waste their time with the small things. Heck, PD might just toss it aside anyways. Much like a graffiti report. (tracking)

This. I was going to post something much more sarcastic, don't you have anything more serious to worry about?

Plenty to worry about, and working on my fucking car to remove this damn card before it fucks anything else up - wasn't on my list of shit to worry about. But I needed to rant. I tend to have that kind of luck where this type of thing will ruin some expensive window motor or something.

Never got the flyers on windshields businesses. For me, it's a guaranteed "never do business with these people" moment.
Please post contact info. This could be fun.

Yep, most likely will post info. Tough to be in business with all the social media. One blip in your business and everyone can hate you until you're out of business. Waiting to see if they respond. Again, online reviews are mediocre of them.

+1, filing a Police report may not be the best use of the police department's time. If you call RTD and you were parked in a RTD run lot they will likely take action. The property is not available to companies who put flyers on cars, they strictly forbid it. I've called and asked and the answer was no. In our case we only put something on a car when the lot allows it and we ask permission before we access any lot. We usually have a signed contract with the lot owner.

They company failed by placing the business card in a way that it would drop in the door. If they are reputable they will listen to your complaint and take appropriate action. If not they are no different than any other 2nd class business.

There have been religious folks with flyers and pamplets and tables in the RTD areas before and no action was taken. So I don't really know if they care? There have been canvassers and similar types on the trains before too. Not sure where RTD would stand with this.

We'll see what happens. Worst case I guess I'm taking my car door apart. Should be a good time. not.

Maybe you should leave something on their windshield.

Once I had someone leave a card in my door and they tore the lower window runner.

Fuck them. Do what you must.

I was wrenching on my truck - in the cold - in my driveway, and some turd walk up the drive and gets in my face trying to sell carpet cleaning. I politely said, "No thank you" and returned to my work. He persisted and I said quite sternly, "I said no thank you."

His response was, "You don't have to be a prick about it and raise your voice with me."

I politely told him, "If I raised my voice, you would know it, now get off my property and stop bothering me. Can't you see I'm busy?"

He stormed off, waving his arms, muttering. I told him next time I will call the Sheriff.

People really are assholes. Apparently I'm one of them.

I've had good luck at the surplus store, usually right next to the grid squares and left handed wrenches.

Same deal with the storm door on the front of my house. Door to door guys stuff flyers in the back of the door on the near side of the house so I don't see it when I come home. Then try to go out the front door later and the door won't open from the paper they shoved in the back of it. Have to go around the garage and pull it out from the front.
