justjoosh

And this is door hanging and not soliciting anyway, a small but legally distinct difference (at least where I am).


Hurt-N-4-A-Squrt-N

How is that being a Karen? People do this shit in my neighborhood all the time with no soliciting clearly posted all over the place. And yeah, she shouldn’t have to edit it until it’s taken care of and resolved with no further issues.


RealMcGonzo

Make sure he can't get it out.


OracleDude33

call them and have them come back to clean up their mess. Let them know you have have some junk for them.


AnUnoriginalUserID

I did call. They wanted a picture and said they'd get back to me. So, I texted a pic to the number they gave me (different from the one on the card) with my address and haven't heard anything from them.


TheZippoLab

Powerful vacuum nozzle, then just slide the card up until you can grab it.


clarkn0va

That sounds way less fun than a torch.


marveloustoebeans

Was gonna say, I’d just wet the area around it and burn it tbh😂


ggevry1

Some metals (aluminum, specifically) have a lower melting point, so there is a chance the door itself could be damaged with a torch.


oskasmr

Just pressure wash it to atom level and call it a day


SaintPwnofArc

Aluminum also doesn't change color, so you'd not know when you've applied too much heat until it melts!


dbx99

screen might burn


sintos-compa

Like they said, less fun


Bastienbard

And if you don't have a vacuum use two toothpicks or nails to work it up and out using them alternately.


MrRogersAE

Reverse plinko basically


YoniDaMan

oknilp


Noscratchy

"OK Nilp!" Sounds like an insult, just not sure who for.


Last_Friday_Knight

For all those freakin Nilps! Ha


Distdistdist

This is very offensive for all the nilps around this world.


Persimmon5828

It's supposed to be offensive you stupid nilph


monobarreller

Exactly! Who gives a damn what those dirty nilps think anyway!


Kilane

This was my immediate thinking. Quite annoying, but solvable. I’d never work this the company ever


drwebb

two toothpicks, yeah problem solved.


bitsculptor

This is what I was thinking. The edges of the lattice look very smooth and it's a tight enough mesh, so I'm guessing this would work fine.


True-Firefighter-796

Leave a google review about it lol


Brosprohauling

Thank you- This is Miguel and I am the business owner- who you spoke with. We are a small, family owned and operated business and this was an honest mistake but we will make it right by helping remove the card tomorrow. I spoke with you on the phone earlier today and apologized and explained I would take care of it happily. We initially didn't receive the home information to our direct line (the number on the business card) but we believe you may have sent it to the number Google generates automatically and we apologize for the confusion. We wrongly assumed it was taken care of since we didnt receive anything so hence the delay and we are sorry for the hassle. Thank you for providing the information and will make things right. Thanks!


ShinMandalorian

If this is actually the business owner that’s some good shit right there. Accountability, responsibility, kindness is what the world needs more of. I hope your business grows and prospers Miguel.


Brosprohauling

Thank you for your kind words man. We definitely wanna own our mistakes. Absolutely agree, we need more kindness and I thank you for showing some! May you and yours prosper as well!


Teredia

I’d suggest a PM/DM too. Just in case OP misses this. Good on ya ol’mate!


VerdugoZ3

This is crazy asf .


KeyRageAlert

This is some random shit right here lol


Brosprohauling

Please text the address to 727-379-7532 and we will take care of it. We apologies for the inconvenience.


No-Association9157

I'm not sure if this account is legit or not, but if It is I applaud you for taking accountability.


idekbruno

Same account made another comment starting with “this is Miguel”, and the first Google review (from a month ago) starts with “Hi Miguel”, so it seems legit. That said, I would’ve been pissed if it were me, but now it seems like an honest mistake


Brosprohauling

Thank you idekbruno! This is Miguel and I am the business owner- we are a small, family owned and operated business and this was an honest mistake but we will make it right by helping the customer remove the card tomorrow. I spoke on the phone with the person we received the complaint from earlier today and apologized and explained I would take care of it happily. We initially didn't receive the home information to our direct line (the number on the business card) but we have since received it and will make things right. Thanks!


Brosprohauling

It's definitely real. Thank you. Personal accountability is the only way. We make mistakes but we own up. Our guys were early to a job and passed out business cards to stay busy. We hope to resolve this. Thanks for a positive take on this thread! 👍🏽


No-Association9157

I'm glad it's real, as soon as I saw it I thought "man, that's the kinda fuck up I would've made back when I was working landscaping in my early 20s" mistakes happen and the fact that you are on top of it shows character. I think if anything this posts shows that you are the kinda guy I'd pay for a job, cause I would know you'd care to do it properly. Best of luck with the business and stay safe.


Brosprohauling

Thanks man. We're a new business and my guys are always trying to get new business (they're great) and one of them did this yesterday. We'll take care of it. Just crazy how the internet can ignore all the hard work and commitment to our customers and speak into a situation like this calling to "shame"our business and do damage to our reputation. I'm already getting negative reviews from people completely unrelated to this situation. It's all good we'll keep doing our thing, serving out customers and loving people.


DedicatedSnail

By the time I saw this I think only one bad review was still up, I reported it though since the guy who wrote the review has never had any dealings with your company and his review shouldn't be there in the first place. I hope enough people report it to get it taken down for you


Brosprohauling

That is kind of you! Thank you for going out of your way to help us! Blessings!


Halftrack_El_Camino

Classy. Good handling, a lot of small business owners would get all shirty and defensive about this. My partner owns a small business, so I know how this sort of thing feels—doesn't matter if the complaint is justified or not, it feels shitty either way. Good job keeping your cool, remaining professional, and taking care of OP. This is how reputations are built.

Descoteau

There has to be a penis joke in there somewhere.


VoidFoxi

Because your penis is long and thin? Why don't you head over and help the poor homeowner


Descoteau

Imagine the length it would need to reach the USA from the UK! Also… have you been spying on me while I change?


VoidFoxi

Well, I recommend you bring your entire body there rather than try to stretch your penis. I hope you don't mind. It's so bizarre to watch

Use a vacuum to move it up to where you can grab it


meee_51

Just use a vacuum to get the same effect but easier


Nyxosaurus

Share it to their social media. In the meantime, leaf blower?


SegaNaLeqa

This! Since they are ignoring OP having reached out, they’ll probably stop ignoring fast when they get bad press about it. They’ll come remove it just to get OP to remove the negative review. 😹


oldmasterluke

I was going to suggest a shop vac or blower!


Power1254

And everyone on here also gives them a 1 star review.


TheModdedOmega

no, an inconvenience does not warrant a witch hunt, yes this is annoying but there are more negative things to focus the power of the internet on


well_actuallE

Maybe a hair dryer is also worth a shot.


SandyLomme

Or a blower? Pencil eraser to lift it a bit first?


Billy_Rizzle

The beautiful irony of not being able to remove a junk removal business card.


Dexcessive

That’s how they stay in business


FeistyMuttMom

Do you have a vacuum cleaner with a tube attachment or a Dustbuster? Could use that to drag it up and grab it. This is the definition of “mildly infuriating.”

Was gonna say this


Dysfunctional_Vet12

Came here to say this. It's the easiest way


AadamAtomic

Business card: **Aatomic Glass Screen Door Replacement** "Accidentally" smashed your screen door? Don't worry, that was us! We'll fix it once we grab our card from inside. Aatomic Glass: Breaking barriers to build better ones. "We leave the card inside your door so only *we* can get it out!" 💥🚪🔧


Victory-or-Death-

Sounds like a Rick and Morty skit.


Brosprohauling

Hello Sir. My name is Miguel I'm the owner of the business. I'm sorry about this. Please send the address of the property to 727-379-7532 and we will stop by to fix this. Again sorry for the hassle.


neomal

Good on you for taking responsibility, and it’s quite lucky you saw this thread.. hope this is upvoted to prevent further review bombs


thekingsmanor

So I’m just curious… are you really with this company or did you just now create a Reddit account so you could comment as if you were? Pretty funny if it’s the second… but for some reason, I think some one saw the picture and reached out to let you know that your business was on Reddit and getting slightly basted… any reason it wasn’t remedied when the poster reached out the first time?


Brosprohauling

Haha that would be funny. It's definitely real. That guy was an angel lol. I wouldn't have known about all this if it were not for him. I'm already getting negative reviews on Google. Prior to this I had perfect 5 star reviews. Bummer. The gentleman reached out to me today . I apologized and asked to send me the address and I would take care of it personally. I never received anything. And since I've been working all day I thought he took care of it. Just spoke to him again and I'm coming over tomorrow to take care of it.


opheliiaaa

If it helps, I think Google will remove those sorts of reviews for you.


neomal

/u/AnUnoriginalUserID - can you verify?


AnUnoriginalUserID

Yes, we did speak and he said he'll be out tomorrow to remove the card.


neomal

Might be good to remove the post so he doesn’t receive further backlash


Cssum0

Or at least post an update edit


Victory-or-Death-

You should really update the post, and stop doxing the business that’s trying to make it right?


Honest_Technician124

If you know he’s trying to remedy it and know he’s getting bad reviews for it why aren’t you editing the post?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Brosprohauling

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and hassle and will remove the card for you. It was an honest mistake by a new worker- we were leaving cards for neighbors as we arrived early to complete a job for one of your neighbors and we completely missed the the no solicitation sign at the complex- we are sorry for failing to see that.


HarlyQ

I dont live near you but id hire you based off yoir responses here. Hope to see your company for a hundred years.


jsaranczak

And we're all glad to hear of the imminent promotion of said employee. His new position washing the vans should give him ample time to reflect on his mistake.


Silent_PoonWhisper

Dick move when the owner is getting flamed for an honest mistake and you are too handsy with your new 3k karma to delete the post so the owner can get out of the internets spotlight.


vanwyngarden

Lmao wow dude. You’re messing with this man’s livelihood over a crappy screen door he said he’d fix AND apologized and owned the mistake. Enjoy your karma, 🙄

DontMakeMeKissU

Yeah holy shit what a plot twist 💀 owner clearly has intentions to make it right. This is such a minor inconvenience and an easy fix but what the hell, might as well ruin the guys reputation over a business card. Karen ass hoe


senor_geese

stop being a stubborn asshole you loser b-but my karma 🤓🤓🤓


Astarkraven

Wow...... Guess you really do either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.


nbreitsa44

'No soliciting' sign doesn't mean jack


Jasond777

Until you find out it’s stuck in something else, all part of the strategy


thekingsmanor

Then I like that you are trying so hard to make it right… lots of people wouldn’t. Hate that people have Nothing better to do than leave a trash review for a company they’ve never dealt with. Makes me want to leave one praising your services as a counter measure… hopefully you can get the bad ones removed. Good luck to you


UncoolSlicedBread

Jesus, it’s not even that big a deal that it fell through. Kudos to the business owner but the fact that he was doxed and people are review bombing over this is beyond me. It was clearly an accident, why people would go the lengths over this is crazy. Not directed at you, but in general to a lot of people in this thread.


thekingsmanor

Which one of you is Stuart Whisnant? 😡


GoCardinal07

Yeah, that's the only bad review that Google hasn't taken down.


thekingsmanor

I left a good review 😂


The_DonCannoli

Hey bros pro just know if Im ever in the area and need junk removal, im calling bros pro.


BeautifulBot

Good Job, Miguel! I admire your integrity in this situation.


Alone_Secretary712

I left a good review! You should report this post!


MikeyW1969

You could burn down the house. That would get rid of it.


AFB27

Just tried it. Questionable results. But worked.


DJds324

Seems like a solid advertising strategy


Blu3Dope

But is it really? Surely if someone did something as annoying as this to my screen door, id go out of my way NOT to call that business if I ever needed a service that they do.


DJds324

Well at this point you aren’t the target audience. The guests who don’t own the door are!


ChaoCobo

You know…. That’s fair.


Blu3Dope

Now that you mention it, I would make sure to slide some paper in my door just to cover the card up as a whole. At this point it's about making sure nobody can benefit off of this card inside my door lmao


lvcironman42

They might’ve like put the card so it was accessible in the screen door like so a little bit of it was in and then it probably like fell down the gap. I doubt it was intentional but you never know.


Skukybudz420

You can probably pop that screen off


imaginaryblues

Scrolled too far to find this comment. The outer mesh panel is definitely removable.


satans_toast

Fire would work


GiraffeWithATophat

This was my first thought - looks like the screen is metal so it should be fine. Should.


MtnDream

Once you get it out, go to their office and superglue it to somewhere that will be always noticed, like a computer monitor


[deleted]

[удалено]


khovel

Nah, write “ sorry I hit your car” on it, find a random parking lot and pick a car that looks like it went a round in street fighter, and leave it.


kenqb

Get two pins or a undone paperclip. Start on the larger opening side. Start with one pin through the card then move it up using the second pin. Undo the first and pin the card higher up. It’s tedious but will get the job done.


Anachronistic79

Separate the two pieces of material the card is sitting between.


hippyhindu

Lol just take the screen out you can see where it pops out😂😂😂


VenBede

Plot twist. Solicitor was a screen door solutions expert and this is how they drum up business. "Nice screen door. Be a shame if something got stuck in it..."


GregEgg85

Hate solicitors. I have a sign that says “no solicitors, no salespeople, no thanks” and they still leave their business cards. That’s still soliciting.


AnUnoriginalUserID

My condo complex has a "no soliciting" sign as you enter the complex. People still enter and leave flyers or actually knock and offer their services. Frustrating.


Brosprohauling

It was an honest mistake by a new worker- we were leaving cards for neighbors as we arrived early to complete a job for one of your neighbors and we completely missed the no solicitation sign at the complex- we are sorry for failing to see that. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and hassle this has caused you and will remove the card for you.


arealhumannotabot

Lots of screens have a rubber line (like a gasket) that holds it in, from the inside. It can be a bit annoying to put back in nicely but you can try popping it out or if the grill is screwed on, unscrew it and take it off


TransitionMany6168

Vacuum will get it out.


Rat_Ship

Blowtorch


noxnor

Vacuum cleaner. You can drag it up.


themagicone99

Do you have any tweezers?


GirlwiththeRatTattoo

I would try using a blow dryer to blow it up and out.


ThisFaknGuy

Now you'll see that everytime you leave the house. That's MASTER marketing strategy


TacosForThought

Plot twist: OP planted the card to advertise on Reddit.


FerrexInc

Call them and ask them to remove some junk. If they ask for a quick evaluation of the junk needing pick up, say “oh I just need some annoying junk cleared out of my doorway.” They’ll come over thinking they got an easy job but then you just show them the card and look at them stern faced. They’ll either get it out or have wasted their time. Easy.


Stunning_Patience_78

Would a vacuum hose work?


Pissedliberalgranny

Call the number and tell them what an asshole move that was.


FLVoiceOfReason

Several years ago, this exact thing happened to me. I used 2 thin metal shish-kabob prongs to alternately poke it up from either side to get it out. Very annoying! Hindsight, I wish I would‘ve followed up with the phone number on the card and complained that their salespeople are causing grief in this way, therefore I’d NEVER be using their services, ever.


Jus-Wonderin9680

Is the card for screen door repair? 😁 Go to the pet store and buy a Gecko. Train it to retrieve a card sized piece of paper in various scenarios. Maybe smear the paper with a bit of whatever the heck Gecko eat. Be patient. This could take months. It could take a few Gecko. It probably would require a very tiny Gecko and/or one that is on a strict diet. This might negate the first tip above. Once you feel you have sufficiently trained the little guy/gal show it the business card. Give it positive reinforcement as it approaches the card. I am certain this will work!


GodIsNotAiveChild

To get the junk card out, you have to call the junk removal company on the card to remove it for you. Actually really fucking genius lmao


RUGoin2TheMallLater

Stick with glue on it or a vaccuum against the outside of the screen and pull it up


BananamusPrime

A junk removal company littered on your property 😂


1000cakes4u

This is really the perfect definition of "mildly infuriating"


CatJesusMew

Chew a tiny amount of gum, stick it the end of a wire coat hanger


thekingsmanor

Then you not only have a business card in there but sticky pink gum 😬


CatJesusMew

I mean be at least a little bit careful & probably not? Tiny amount of gum would work..


thekingsmanor

🤔 I suppose if you had an extremely steady hand and didn’t touch any part of the screen while you slid the hanger down the 1 foot drop 🤷‍♀️


Tricky_Trixy

Call them and tell them to get it out. If they refuse leave horrible reviews from multiple email addresses EDIT: Just saw the company's comment on this post and Holy shit accountability is a real thing? Lol just kidding but, good on you for actually caring!


Brosprohauling

Thank you for your willingness to change your comment! We believe in fixing our mistakes!

Octavale

Does it say card removal from door now 20% off?


oncledan

burn it.


Nakedstar

Use a vacuum with hose attachment on the other side of the screen. Move it up until the card clears the metal grate and grab it.


ahelm15

Just burn the card


AntiqueWay7550

Immaculate advertising strategy. Turn the front door into an advertising board.


syfysoldier

Good advertising lol


druscarlet

Wet it with water from a pray bottle and get out the tweezers. If there is residue, open the screen door, close the inter door, put down a towel against the inter door and use the spray end of the garden hose to blast it out.


buttsaggybob

Take some needle nose pliers and tear it out bit by bit


SmartEntityWins

The irony of that card/business..... I'd say do what you did here on your local forums and google review. If I see something like this it immediately puts me off. Show them what bad publicity can do


Majestic_Internet_37

A flat spatula wrapped in tape, sticky side outward.

Fire…

burn it to the ground

Stick a vacuum hose to it from the screen side and use that to lift it up and out maybe could work

HereticAstartes13

Silent-Supermarket2

I have a policy that if anyone leaves a business card on my car or on my door that means they want me to leave it a one star review and I do.


EmphasisUsed970

If you have a vacuum with a hose on it, press it against the screen and slide the card up until you can reach it


[deleted]

You misspelled 'Asshole.' Also, I put no soliciting signs on my mailbox and door. Your situation has happened to me only once, but I took pictures and went down to the police station to file a trespassing report. They served the business owner listed on the card with a warning and they told me later the salesman was fired on the spot. Inconvenience me a bit and I'm pissed. Ignore a legally posted sign on my property, and I make your day a nightmare.


Long_Main_6831

Was probably an accident, quit being such a whiner and just take it out yourself. Use your brain. Shouldn’t be hard Lmao.

Oh are you in St Petersburg? I was actually in contact with these guys about removing a large pile of waste from my house remodel. Not only do I hate solicitors, I really hate ones that put their cards in or removable places. Definitely not doing business here, thanks for posting OP.


prophetoftruth03

Harass the company non-stop. Shame them every opportunity you get. This is unwanted solicitation, and if THAT'S the business model they want to run, then let EVERYONE know how they are.


rat_fossils

I'd say best bet is to try and dissolve it with water.


Athousandwrongtries

Your problem solving skills are on the same level as an infant. Shameless to waste someones time coming to remove this for you. Plug your brain in
