They are not idiots, they are people who want to get paid. They get paid per amount they drop off. Whether or not the fact they are irritating you by doing their job, whether or not their job irritates your, are other things altogether. They fall into similar categories to telemarketers and those professional "charity" collectors for me. Annoying, desperate, no jobs skills or they wouldn't walkers, but I'm quite sure they have comprehension skills. They are just choosing to ignore your requests so they can have money to pay their rent. Just recycle it and stop being so angry and self-righteous. It must be sweet for you to live a life where you don't have to do this kind of work for a living, not to have to worry about money or rent or those petty little things the dirty and uneducated plebs you so despise worry about. Seriously, take it out, walk three steps to the recycle bin, and don't **** a brick over the little things.
