Unwanted Newspaper

In the place where I live, Today Paper (by Media Corps) and My Paper (by Singapore Press Holdings) are delivered free whether you want it or not. The papers are usually dropped off casually on the floor in front of your door. Some times they just strewn in front of the lift lobby. I have tried to contact the publisher to stop delivery of these unwanted items to no avail. I finally lodged a complaint to the condo manager and he instead asked the guard to relay a message to the delivery person. Since the unwanted paper still comes, I called the night guard myself and this is how the conversation went.

Myself : Hello, this is Mrs K___ from Block ___ Unit ___. Can you write down what I am going to tell you? Do you have paper and pencil? (There were noises indicating he was whispering to somebody)

Guard : Ya ya what is it mam?

Myself : Once again, my name is Mrs K___ from Block ___ Unit ___. Could you please tell the free news paper delivery person, that I do not want any free newspaper.

Guard : Ok mam no problem.

Myself : Did you write down what I said and my unit number?

Guard : Yes mam don't worry.

Myself : Could you please repeat what I just said?

Guard : (Sounding annoyed) That free paper, you want it. I'll tell them to give you. Don't worry lah.

Myself : NO NO NO! I do not want any free newspaper.

Guard : What mam? You dowan ah. All the paper.

Myself : NO NO NO! Only the free ones. I still want the one not free (Strait Times).

Guard : Ok mam, what your name mam?

Myself : Mrs K___

Guard : Your unit?

Myself : Block ___ unit 04-01

Guard : Unit 05-01

Myself : NO NO NO! Not 05. It's 04.

Guard : Oh 05-04

Myself : NO NO NO! Listen carefully its unit 04-01

Guard : Which block again mam?

Myself : Block ____

By the time I finished the phone call, needless to say I've woken up my husband and probably my neighbors. After all that, the papers continued to come. In the end, what I did was to wake up very early and intercepted the delivery man myself.

What am I trying to say here? I guess, if you want something to happen, you can't rely on others to make it happen. You gotta do it yourself. It's easier and faster.
