    When I first visited London, I was taking them all, cos I was like "wow, this is such a London thing", as it never happened much around where I live xD But there it was like somebody on every side of you handing them out, and after a while I realised it got annoying and most of it didn't interest me. However, I still try and be polite, and say "no, thank you" rather than just ignoring them.

    Only ones I've ever gotten are ones advertising some perverted metal band who are playing at the Grand Hotel on Saturday night, and the flyer is valid for a half price ticket. I wish I could pawn it off

    You only stopped taking them because I told you to stop.

    And Tom told you to stop too.

    If I'm interested in what they have to say, I take it. If not, I tell them it's not my cup of tea and go on my way. If later, I don't want the flyer, I put it in the recycling bin.

    If you're at a college/university (at least in the US) there is NO reason not to recycle them. Ohh, you might have to carry it all the way to class? Wah.

    I generally take 'em, read 'em, and toss 'em in the rubbish bin. Right-o.

    At college people would get paid to hand them out. Mostly starving students would do it to pay for food or shelter. Pretty sure they got paid according to how many they handed out, so I'd usually take them if it was someone my age handing them out. If it was someone older, or someone crazy-looking, I'd walk past without making eye contact. My friend would take one from anyone, walk straight to the nearest trash can (in view of the person who just handed it to him) and throw it away. I'd never do something quite THAT rude, but it's pretty rude to force someone to take your fliers in the first place.

    I get a few advertising underground bands in my area, which I take, because I like going to underground gigs.

    lol quite cute really yet the end of the matter is in London theyre every 2 steps of the road and plainly annoying more than ever anything helpful. its like the anti war protests they blocked up most of the city and yet at the end of the day its just an annoyance to the people who live there not the government and anyone with sense knows the government doesn't give a crap if they want to go to war they'll go to war.
