Free Used paper....

[Alpha Strike]

Not even. I've done many promos where we've been giving away free things - cool stuff, too - and NO ONE wanted it.
I've gone home with more "big Canadian bank" lanyards than any human being should ever possess, have given away "insurance company" water bottles to friends just to get rid of them, etc.

And these things were free with no strings. No signing up for anything, no taking a survey, nothing. Free. Just take it and give nothing in return.
And people didn't want it.
I... I just don't understand.

You just had the bad luck to encounter a bunch of smart people who didn't want all that stuff cluttering up their house.

It's also possible that folks are a bit less trusting these days. I don't really believe anything _good_ could be free anymore, so I'm very suspicious when someone offers to give me something. If it's worth having, I assume it has strings attached - and if it isn't, then I turn it down since I don't need more worthless crap cluttering up my place.

I have also started to become a little more picky about the free stuff I pick up. I have no use for lanyards or koozies, so I pass those by. Pencils, however...how many can I get? Hey, as a teacher, I can always use pencils!

As a drunk who hates warm beer, I can always use coozies!

As a drunk who hates warm beer, I can always use coozies!

I have a half dozen coozies from my neice's wedding, and several others. I have found alternative uses for some of them. One is perfect for holding my sunglasses.
