Window Spam

Unsolicited advertisements, papers, flyers, etc that have been placed under the windshield wiper of an automobile. It is usually completely useless and it makes one wonder what kind of idiot thinks advertising like this is effective.

Holy shit!! I thought I got a parking ticket but when I got closer, it was just some Window Spam that some jackass put under my windshield wiper.

Window of Neglect

(idiom) -the digital preview or buffer of any form of realtime direct communication to an individual that gives them advanced knowledge of digital message without tripping any evidence (i.e. read receipts)that would prove the message was read by the receiving party, with this advanced info one can choose to either acknowledge and answer the text or blatantly ignore and deny that you were even aware of it existence thus free of blame.

-Technologically created space between a person and a digital message allowing the individual to side step its acknowledgement avoiding accountability by way of ignorance.

"The window of neglect will surely lead you to the hall of empty promises."
