You guys need to lighten up. If this bothers you, how can you even enjoy your car if you are parked in a public place? I can understand coming out of a restaurant and having some clown leaning on your car or sitting on the hood while talking to someone would **** you off but a flier?

Most places are trying to stop this from happening. Ever see the streets of a parking lot when this happens?
I don't think people should touch other peoples property without permission.
Would I go nuts, of course not. Life is too short but I do believe it is wrong.

If these folks had any ethics and brought up properly, they should not touch any ones property.

Some People are Just Inconsiderate
The flyer wouldn't set me off, but they could easily scratch or chip the paint especially if they pull the wiper up to far or to hard.
What was annoying to me, is looking out my office window and seeing a lady leaning up against the back side panel of my car smoking a cigarette. Now that p*ssed me off. I asked her please not lean on my car, when I really wanted to blast her. Some people don't respect their own things, there is no way they will respect other peoples property.

Fliers don't bother me - they go straight in the bin. Mind you, if I was in or near the car when they did it I may have a quiet word in their ear.
Well, maybe not that quiet.
But if they lifted the wiper and not the blade chipping the bonnet I'd go ballistic.

I know but it's regarding mercedes benz.Go to the links and see. We just had our monthly dinner/meeting last night. Had lots of fun. I am getting ready to go to Star Tech in Raleigh, NC. I joined because of the road trips and get to see and do interesting stuff.

I think someone posting a flyer under your wiper is the least of the problems you face leaving the car in a public place. Scratches and especially door dings represent a far greater and much more expensive problem to fix. The problem is that if you park defensively, by parking across two spaced, you're more likely to attract unwanted attention.
I think the problem will get worse as the population of Western countries age. Old people are much less agile in getting out of their cars and are likely to swing a door wide open to do it. BANG! A ding in your door that will cost $1000+ to fix and paint.
