"here! you throw this away!!"

as i walked around herald square this morning, i realized hand-bills might very well be one of the most annoying things about new york city. because i'm always walking around, i'm vulnerable to anybody wanting to pass along his or her marketing information. a lot of people i've talked to about it say i should just ignore them. but, it's simply not my style to ignore the ladies and gents who are only doing their jobs. however, i feel guilty taking hand-bills that i know i'll just throw away at the next corner. so, i'll continue to spread a little appreciation for the hard-working folks... "oh, no thanks!" is all they'll hear from me.
