I don't care one bit if someone drops a flyer through my open window. I also have no problem with people who don't want someone dropping a flyer through their open window. I think an easy solution would be to roll the windows up.
I don't think anyone should be putting flyers under windshield wipers or rolling them up and sticking them in the door handle or anything else along those lines.

Thanks for asking the question because once I think about it, it bothers me a lot less...
I am mildly annoyed by flyers and I don't prefer they be handed to me, so I tolerate them landing on my driver's seat. .. after all, where else would I want them? Not on the hood or under the wiper or tires..
It's just a piece of paper and sometimes they are interesting.

I honestly envy those that have so little to be stressed about in their lives that a piece of paper placed in their car, at a car show, can cause that much grief.
Seriously, W T F …
Agreed mike BUT: It might be the opposite, maybe they are already stressed to the MAX and this is just one more irritant. Ever seen FALLING DOWN" with Michael Douglas? Excellent movie and possible example (See the 1st post in this thread)
I might suggest if you do not want flyers in your car, and it bothers you that much, place a placard on your dash and seats stating so. AND For the flyer people, start wearing bullet proof vests and riot gear while passing them out LOL
I've been to a couple of pretty decent shows I wouldn't have known about if not for a flyer left in my car. We have a free magazine that lists shows (the Car Show and Cruise Guide), but not everybody takes the trouble to submit a listing (which is also free!). I don't have a problem with it.

I remember visiting a gun show year, and a vendor had a WW2 era pictorial book on the table among others that seemed to offer pics I had never seen before. I picked it up to flip thru and see sincerely if I was interested in purchasing. The person at the stall said the books were not for reading, I replied, "and evidently not for sale".

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

People need to give out pamphlets to push their political/religious beliefs or some other crap they are selling. I went to a swap meet years ago and they have a bunch of people there from Amica insurance attacking you as you try to purchase tickets. REALLY! The TV is littered with insurance commercials now and they have to send out people to get you to buy their insurance. I put these people in the same category as telemarketers.

It's one thing for people to push flyers in through an open window. What aggravated me while I still had my Dart, even though my side windows were rolled up, people would still drop flyers in through the open sunroof.
Your life is not my fault. My life is none of your business.

I have a sign on my table that says "do not handle guns without permission" I get pissy when a kid grabs one of my model 12 Winchesters without permission..

I know a guy ( who I USED to be friends with) who is exactly like this character Rob Reiner portrayed! 😂 LOL!! This guy I know, always gets pissed off over the smallest of things. I'm amazed he hasn't had a stroke or heart attack, since he is always wound so tight. With that, I don't mind CAR RELATED flyers in my Duster, while attending a show, BUT don't touch the car!

i haven't had anything that runs under it's own power for many, many, [and many more] years, so when i get this lump going again, flyers will be ok with me.
