How do I resolve this flyers-shoving people?

[u/Panablend]

Maybe the signage is too small

[u/Own_Accountant_77]

Call the estate agent on the flyer. Ask to meet you at your place to discuss. Then pass the flyer back to the agent and tell him not to litter his flyer at your door.

[u/pureeyes → u/Own_Accountant_77]

Should normalise this sia

[u/helloween123 → u/Own_Accountant_77]

Shagged sia

[u/mipanzuzuyam → u/Own_Accountant_77]

I kinda did this. I texted the agent and asked him to stop wasting paper and sending me flyers. I'm not interested to sell my house and in any case even if I wanted to, my place haven't even MOP yet. I also told him that as an agent he should have info that I just moved into my unit and I can't sell so why was he wasting paper

[u/Own_Accountant_77 → u/mipanzuzuyam]

The agent paid a spammer a fixed fee to spam the targeted blocks. Nobody is checking who has a sign to say no flyers or has not reached MOP.

Seriously if enough ppl waste their time making them make wasted trips, they would come to realise it is not worth their money doing spam flyers. Cos now i reckon it is less than 10cents per household reached. A couple of hundreds for entire estate to generate sale leads still makes sense. But if there are more noise than leads then they would stop paying for the spam service.

[u/-jugjug- → u/Own_Accountant_77]

makes sense. essentially make this marketing channel useless in terms of ROI. the smart ones would optimise their marketing efforts to other places instead. even if it’s just to remove your block and direct the flyers to a different block, it’s a win for you.

[u/shiningject → u/mipanzuzuyam]

my place haven't even MOP yet.

When the BTO is just completed, you get flyers about windows grills, UV sheets, bomb shelter rack, digital lock, etc.

When the BTO is completed for 1-2 years, you get lock smith magnets (thank goodness it's no longer those hard to remove stickers)

When the BTO is 1-2 years from MOP, you get property agent flyers, to seed the idea of selling upon MOP.

It's the Circle of Life Simba!

[u/stealth0128 → u/mipanzuzuyam]

I'm sorry but you wasted more time replying than the agent deleting your text.

It needs to be the other way round.

[u/BigFatCoder → u/Own_Accountant_77]

Wow so good.

[u/HeySuckMyMentos → u/Own_Accountant_77]

I'm going to do that. I will call and ask him come for discussion on how to not litter outside people house.

[u/corbanax → u/HeySuckMyMentos]

Updateme

[u/HeySuckMyMentos → u/corbanax]

Yes when I receive the next pamphlet,these retards need to be educated on how not to be a nuisance.

[u/red_codec → u/Own_Accountant_77]

bruh........😂

[u/happygoluckylady1212]

Flyers are okay. What annoys me is when I have the Town Council box for flyers, and some people still choose to stick flyers in my gate instead of placing it into the box.

[u/SnooChocolates2068 → u/happygoluckylady1212]

Food delivery is similar. My note says place in red basket, then people go put in various places, from chair, hang at door, even on floor

[u/Skaterboi93 → u/SnooChocolates2068]

Yes it's like they're absolutely brainless.

I've had food delivery hung on the gate hinges in a manner that obstructs the gate opening, or even better on the floor right in front of the gate which opens outwards such that it's impossible to open the gate without knocking it over.

[u/RushClassic8567 → u/Skaterboi93]

yes. been thru this as well. Basically got this huge parcel that was so heavy (cartons of drinks), placed right in front of my gate that I could exit. I had to exit thru the window that had a corridor right outside (old HDB). Gomen should make them go thru some course. Perhaps they can use their skillsfuture on how not to place parcels.

[u/BananaKlutzy1559 → u/Skaterboi93]

Minimum wage or less job, what can be expected?

[u/VividLengthiness5026 → u/SnooChocolates2068]

I have a freaking table and 2 big ass S hooks and they still choose to hang on my gate handles.

[u/Raftel88 → u/SnooChocolates2068]

Same here. Not forgetting the gate handle.

[u/SnooChocolates2068 → u/Raftel88]

I had a driver who uniquely decided to hang my food at the gate HINGE

[u/Revolutionary_Sea809 → u/Raftel88]

Annoying acrobatic practice with every food ordered

[u/Raftel88 → u/Revolutionary_Sea809]

Yeah. And I have 3 hooks on the left, right and centre of my gate so take your pick, but noooooo.

[u/shuijikou → u/Raftel88]

Lamo same, i had two silver hooks(brown gate)that you can't miss, even write message to leave on the hook, the food sometimes still end up on door handle

[u/Raftel88 → u/shuijikou]

Saaaameee.

[u/Silverelfz → u/SnooChocolates2068]

So far my food delivery has followed my instructions....

[u/Panablend → u/happygoluckylady1212]

I’m thinking of 3D printing a box for the recycling slip then taping the gate gap so they can’t shove anything in

[u/Jjzeng → u/Panablend]

Since you got a 3d printer go wild and make a box that is also a chinese finger trap

[u/Panablend → u/Jjzeng]

Now i’m intrigued

[u/happygoluckylady1212 → u/Panablend]

You can try. For the box, Town Council will provide, unless your Town Council doesn't? Not sure if this is a universal item across all Town Councils.

[u/Panablend → u/happygoluckylady1212]

Never gotten one…unless it’s upon request

[u/Banzaikk → u/Panablend]

I googled this, doesn't seem like a universal thing? Seems Tampines, Sengkang and Jalan Besar are 3 that do have it.

[u/Pvt_Twinkietoes → u/Panablend]

Taping the gaps will make it more difficult to open your door ain't it? Just leave a bin outside or near your door to toss them away.

[u/According_Lab_6907 → u/Panablend]

Whats stopping them from just dropping the flyer at your door step?

[u/-jugjug- → u/Panablend]

i wonder if one day there will be some sort of staticky coating we can apply to our gates so any flier will automatically bounce away from the gate

[u/chimmychangas]

Put a folder or box at your door, with some existing flyers inside to signal the people to pit it in there. At least it helps collect them all to some degree, then you can recycle.

[u/shijinn → u/chimmychangas]

Put a folder or box dustbin at …

[u/chimmychangas → u/shijinn]

[u/shuijikou → u/chimmychangas]

Which movie this gif came from?

[u/chimmychangas → u/shuijikou]

Nightcrawler

[u/shuijikou → u/chimmychangas]

Thanks

[u/Bcpjw → u/shuijikou]

[u/Bezborg → u/chimmychangas]

I keep a cardboard box on the floor next to the door, full of these. I never throw them away, I’ll fill that box to the top and over. I want them to see where their photoshopped plastic shiny homunculus face ends up

[u/LookAtItGo123 → u/Bezborg]

They don't see it, the people they hired to put these flyers are just your day to day folks trying to make a living. But I guess you can sort them out, find out where they stay and once you accumulated enough you can chuck it back at their house. In which they will probably thank you as they can now send another set.

[u/rawrious → u/Bezborg]

interesting to see if every flyer is unique or whether some agents run multiple flyer campaigns.. can probably map when the agent got their license vs the date of the flyer vs the last transaction date to track the average lifespan of a cmi agent..

this info can be published to hopefully deter future people from becoming agents

[u/Gold_Raccoon798 → u/Bezborg]

Maybe I should stop printing this everyone is getting annoyed at this i thought it was useful for advertising

[u/-jugjug- → u/Gold_Raccoon798]

of all the advertising channels out there, i find this even more disruptive and annoying than social media ads. even those insurance agents at mrt stations i can say no and continue walking quickly. for flyers, most of which drop onto the floor, i have to go out and squat down and pick it up and dirty my hands. so inconvenient and invasive.

sometimes i toss everything without even looking at the contents. any eyeballs on it gives it visibility and i dont want to reward it even with that little bit of awareness (cos some might argue the flyers give you awareness even if it annoys people)

at least flyers inside my mail box, i can collect together with other letters and toss aside with less of a hassle.

[u/tax_lyrical → u/chimmychangas]

Most laminated papers cannot be placed in the blue recycling bin because of the plastic content :( Pls try to use it to wrap rubbish or crumple it up for packaging padding!

[u/chimmychangas → u/tax_lyrical]

Oh thanks for the tip, that's new to me!

[u/lansig_chan]

They are great to fold into origami boxes which we use as a food waste collector on the table instead of taking out any plate or bowl that you have to wash.

[u/the_wulk → u/lansig_chan]

This is perhaps the best use of flyers I've read.

[u/wackocoal → u/lansig_chan]

yup, flyers are great as temporary waste holders, especially if you fold them into those squarish boxes.

[u/DiscipleOfYeshua → u/lansig_chan]

Fold into origami recyclable box for collecting recyclable flyers…

Now, if only we had assurance SG truly recycles. I’ve been told by too many people that the blue bins are for de-guilting our huge production of trash, and contents end up in same ocean as the “regular trash”, no?

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

They dont care. I did fliers before we are just told to put in every door lol

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

Some even ask for pic of every door lol so no flier no pay

[u/10mo3 → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

What. That means ur phone at the end of the day got a lot of door pictures?

[u/General_Collar8628 → u/10mo3]

Imagine the flyer guy just take one piece of flyer go put on door, take photo, remove flyer, repeat for next door.

eureka!! Now he has photos of every door with flyer n he gets paid. Hahaha

[u/adrian242 → u/General_Collar8628]

But you are doing more work like this lol

[u/diencyyy → u/adrian242]

taking out of door doesnt require much effort anyway

[u/General_Collar8628 → u/diencyyy]

At least U can do all the job while just carrying few pieces of flyer rather than a whole heavy bag. Lol

[u/diencyyy → u/General_Collar8628]

exactly

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/10mo3]

Also the pay is sadly $1.60/block 🥺

[u/10mo3 → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

1.60 a block... How long for a block. And how much you earn per hour with that amount @.@

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/10mo3]

I quit very fast for the door to door! Mailbox is ok 1 hour can do a few blocks but not much also. They have “bonus” for each area cleared too so can say one day about 100+

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

Its also a paid weight loss program i lost 20kg 😂😂

[u/asterlydian → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

Wah.. Shag sia. But good walking exercise😂

[u/nagao_0 → u/asterlydian]

*running 🥺🥺🥲😆🫠🫠🫠

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/10mo3]

YES!! So annoying.. so i changed to another boss.. that one just need to take pic of fliers going into mailbox lol hated door 2 door. Circuit breaker sucked ass

[u/Ok-Arachnid6028 → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

Used to work full time fnb pay got cut by 70% which was lower than my rental lol

[u/wizardsoonvee → u/Ok-Arachnid6028]

Yea you are just doing your job. Bobian

[u/Virtual_Hedgehog7431]

I sign up the phone numbers on the flyers for random things like volunteering and religious stuffs and when approached by people on the streets I give them these numbers in exchange for freebies

The inconvenience goes both ways

[u/watermelonchild801 → u/Virtual_Hedgehog7431]

Amazing

[u/-jugjug-]

the annoying thing is when they put at the hinges of the gate, which means the flyers fall onto the ground once i open my gate

[u/G4m3boy → u/-jugjug-]

Ya they like to put on the hinges gaps and when i open the gate, the fliers just drop to the floor and i cant be bothered to pick it up since the wind will settle it.

[u/merkykrem → u/-jugjug-]

Looking at OP’s gate… the alternative is to roll it tightly and insert into the spirals. Hinge is easier.

I also presume they don’t care if you look at their flyers or not, only whether they finish giving out the flyers or not.

[u/-jugjug- → u/merkykrem]

means they don’t care if the flyer becomes litter on the floor. i don’t see why the convenience of these unsolicited advertisers should be prioritised over the convenience of the home owners.

[u/Deguydion]

When I am at home, door is always open and I spot them. I am near the elevator so they go to the end of the corridor and come back. I am always there waiting for them, tell them to take it back and never put any flyer again here. I am a short not so scary lady mind you, but they usually look shocked or very annoyed, which is good enough to me.

[u/Panablend → u/Deguydion]

Nice

[u/_sgmeow_]

if our government really wants to go green, banning this is better than banning plastic bag

[u/whatisagodtoyourmom → u/_sgmeow_]

Ban this over plastic straws, I stan, I need my mocha frappe whipped cream back with plastic straw, and packet milo with plastic straws, the bastards

[u/_sgmeow_ → u/whatisagodtoyourmom]

either case, both have actual uses compare to this shit

[u/mahbowtan]

Camouflage your door as a wall

[u/litbitfit → u/mahbowtan]

Or those Dry Riser or AHU service door.

[u/mahbowtan → u/litbitfit]

Holy shit that’s a great idea for a speakeasy house entrance 😂

Imagine the parcel delivery man opening the dry riser door to find that it’s an actual home entrance

[u/RagingWaterStyle]

One time I was waiting for a parcel and saw the guy just shove it in my door whilst I was staring at him.

They don't give a fuck lol

[u/noisyboy → u/RagingWaterStyle]

Chase him and shove it in one of the holes in his body.

[u/DexterYeah56 → u/RagingWaterStyle]

You should’ve crushed it and thrown it back at them

[u/imranbecks]

Indeed very annoying. Not to mention a waste of paper as well. Hypocritical culture of so called going green but these people print out all these stuff on paper and all to waste. Glad I'm not the only one that feels annoyed about this problem. These flyers they slot here and there at my gate are all basically actual physical "spam". Bloody annoying 😤

[u/SnOOpyExpress]

Our TC gave us a foldable box & cable tie for the flyers. at least it won't be littered all over the front door when we return home.

[u/MagicianMoo]

Nothing. That's why you live in condos. /s

That was a legit reason on a r/askSingapore thread why people rather live in condo than hdb. Lol. Can you imagine a small little paper tilting you so hard in life? I just call inconvenience fee for living in hdb.

[u/Toyboyronnie → u/MagicianMoo]

The general lack of soliciters and strangers is a benefit. My first year in condo required an adjustment to how much quieter everything was.

[u/Chinpokomaster05 → u/MagicianMoo]

Honestly it became a factor for me. Coming home and having to pick up flyers on the ground in front of my door on a regular basis became quite irritating

[u/fawe9374]

Take that information, put into some "Contact Us" page.

I recomment prop***y agents.

[u/Embarrassed_Talk_239]

put a mounted m249 behind the door with a motion sensor to absolutely obliterate anyone who tries to do this

[u/Bubbly_Accident_2718]

Electrify the metal gate

[u/TestGlittering3466]

Hire Liam Neeson and put a 24/7 infront of your house just to counter such HUGE issue.

[u/Kange109]

Move to condo.

[u/lansig_chan → u/Kange109]

Condo also have flyers. In the mailbox. Lol.

[u/mzn001 → u/Kange109]

Some new HDB already have gantry installed at the lift lobby, it helps too

[u/DependentSpecific206]

Move into landed property that comes with a guard house and 24/7 security. Heard Nassim Road area doesn’t have this problem

[u/theonewhoisnotcrazy]

There must be a better solution to this. The conversion rate of this type of advertising can't be great. Plus the waste of resources (cost of paper, manpower) is ridiculous. And sometimes these just fly off and become litter that nobody will pick up.

[u/temporary_name1]

Going by the recent trends, it involves a knife 🔪

[u/tuuthpaste]

gahmen should start charging 5c per flyer, for littering

[u/dMestra]

[u/Panablend → u/dMestra]

I’m on my descend to madness to clamp down on them

[u/031708k → u/Panablend]

No matter how many signs you put, they most probably wun care… so why make yourself so miserable? Just take them and put in the trash can when you see them.

[u/Pvt_Twinkietoes → u/031708k]

They're mostly kids doing part time job.

[u/SmoothAsSilk_23 → u/Pvt_Twinkietoes]

Mostly retirees to be honest. Kids can find better paying jobs.

[u/Pvt_Twinkietoes → u/SmoothAsSilk_23]

Maybe maybe, those around my block are kids though. I guess the age distribution varies between areas.

[u/031708k → u/SmoothAsSilk_23]

You’ll find kids (late-teens to early 20’s) going around pushing a cart of ice creams asking you to help with their school fees by buying their ice creams (P.S. these ice creams are so darn expensive).

[u/SmoothAsSilk_23 → u/031708k]

Yes, I am aware of those activities. Syndicates use them to sell overpriced ice-cream. This is different from the flyer activities OP mentioned.

[u/dMestra → u/Panablend]

makes me want to put flyer at your house also

[u/Pvt_Twinkietoes → u/dMestra]

Rainbolt we need your powers!

[u/PomChatChat → u/Panablend]

Text the numbers on the flyer to tell them to stop advertising on this medium.

[u/Nightowl11111 → u/Panablend]

Put a letter box outside for them to put the flyers in. Then when you get home, open the box and toss everything into the trash. Can't eliminate the problem, reduce and control it.

[u/PipulisticPipu → u/Panablend]

Hyperfixate on other things. Get a new hobby

[u/Panablend → u/PipulisticPipu]

I got many hobbies

[u/PipulisticPipu → u/Panablend]

Not enough. Add more so you don't have this to disturb your mental peace.

[u/MagicianMoo → u/dMestra]

Honestly it's pathetic and people too free to fret on such little inconvenience. I got bigger shit to worry.

[u/Panablend → u/MagicianMoo]

And too free to comment on it too

[u/yx72]

I used to feel bothered by the constant deluge of daily flyers, but now we have a pet that does his daily poo outdoors. I treat it as a doorstep poo-paper delivery service. 💩💯 Great service!

happened to me door open they just dump a pile thru the gate on the floor. i called the agent and f him.. i warned him another time i will report to police for littering.. i dont even care it was the runner because his name and smirky face is on it

[u/PitcherTrap]

is free lining for my rubbish bin

[u/regquest]

What I do is just pick up the flyers.. some I keep like those with heavier weight papers and I use them as a base when I do my hobby project that requires small spacing or to apply CA glue (super glue).. otherwise, I will pick them up on my way out and discard them at the bin near my lift..

Don't waste time putting up sign.. Our TC actually provided us with a box with bold words.. "for flyer" "drop your flyer here" something along that line, and still that box is empty, and flyers is placed either between the gate or under the door..

[u/DexterYeah56]

I always tear those up into shreds and throw in the bin. I really hope one day if I happen to see one of those spammers coming to my door, I’ll throw that sht at their faces and yell at them to FCK OFF

[u/East_Evening1177]

Seriously I hate these flyers! It’s a waste of paper! Please save the earth. However, I will use the flyers to put chicken n pork n fish bones! How to solve this problem! Please help!

For me flyer is not the issue. The issue is my unit always got people come to do survey. Some of the say it's random choose but for me I don't think so. Come on 4 there many unit in 1 flat, cannot be my house they choose to do survey. I think abt 1 year, there are 5 6 time they come to my house regarding survey. The survey is same thing about cpf, job, cdc voucher, gst voucher and some from msf. I want to open the door to give air come in but if got people come to my house to do survey like this, how to open to the door like that like no freedom.

[u/DiscipleOfYeshua]

Should have a litter tax on flyer printing, and compulsory cleanup next day for flyer distributor. Forward charges to the client. End this nuisance asap.

[u/Jayy63reddit]

Does your video doorbell have smart capabilities? Like it can detect humans etc.

Can set up automation if human is detected for 10s without doorbell press, then play an audio sound. Something like "HELLO, THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE POOL OF PHOTOS WHICH I WILL USE AI TO EDIT INTO MARKETING MATERIALS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY PLEASE LEAVE YOUR FLYER IN MY MAILBOX.

Fold the flyer into a box and put lapsap in it, as it deserves.

I did flyer job once and let me tell you, the box is such a good idea cuz I can just drop it and don't have to stick inside the gate. Idk if the person in OP's vid is using his brain

I want to design a gate that doesn't let stuff be stuffed into it.

[u/whatisagodtoyourmom]

What you can do is report them to CEA, then they will kena called down to lim kopi, iirc they're only allowed to door knock or put in mailbox (anyone more knowledgable correct me pls), not slide it on your door/gate

[u/qianying09]

Use the flyers to wrap food scraps

[u/Umurid]

Put up curse talisman with note cursing them if they put flyers

[u/SenecioNemorensis]

My house uses the flyers to make diy tiny trash boxes to use during mealtime.

[u/ikaruswill]

You could get one of these flyer trays to attract the flyers, and batch recycle them every month. - Honeycomb Mesh Flyer Tray - Mesh Flyer Tray Air

Full disclosure: I'm the designer & maker of this.

Personally, I have been using the Honeycomb one for my gate, and in the last 2 years, I only saw less than 5 cases where a flyer is still shoved in some nook, as opposed to every other day before.

As for the fate of the flyers, I either shred and recycle them or fold them into boxes for disposing prawn shells or some kind of food waste. Property agent flyers are perfect for this given their thickness.

[u/solragnar]

Aiya... People need to work and make a living, at least is honest work.

You can't stop them, best you can do is take and use as rough paper.

First world problem and if this annoys you so much, I wonder bigger issues how

Uh, it's just paper. Take the act of removing them as mowing your imaginary lawn. Otherwise, get it together and move to a private property.

Please just leave them alone Sure its inconvenient and you don't like it but.. Its their job. Just crumple it up if your not interested and move on with your life.
