Best response so far.
It even says "Junk removal" on the business card!
Just obscure what's on it somehow so as to not give away the punchline too early.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a detached hose. While applying suction from the screen side, slide the nozzle up while dragging the card with it.
This won't allow to slide the card around, it'll just stick to screen in one place. Better learn how to get the screen off entirely, because this will happen again
Yeah I was thinking the best thing to do it just unscrew it, hold it upside-down and shake it out. You have a point on how would you rig it so it does not happen again.
Someone could make WikiHow out of this.
15 steps and images for something that takes half a dozen words to explain.
You can use pencils as supports too
There's a finer screen that isn't very easy to see in the thumbnail.
Open the door, then light it on fire
I agree with this option the most
The safest way, would be to use a flamethrower
So many suggestions here are so needlessly complicated. Just put some tape on the end of a thin stick 🤦
can you just the bits around and get it to pop out the bottom?
Are you flirting?
The snort-laugh that I just made after reading your reply disturbed my dog. Thanks for the guffaw!
Call them and ask them to remove it.
Go to a local business, steal the bowl of business cards for a free dinner raffle, and start an immortalized game of connect 4 in your door.
Burn it
Don’t hire these assholes.
This happened to me with my car window. I had to take the door panel off to get it out
Is the opening at the top wide enough for a thin grabby tool aka claw picker?
Double sided tape on a stick should do the job.
You better put some water on that damn shit!

I agree with calling the guy to get it out, but a close second would be to put thin piece double-sided tape around the tip of a bamboo skewer feed it down in press the card to it and pull it out. if one skewer isn't enough, tape a second one to the first one
_________________________________ tape

tape
Get a full sized piece of paper that you can slide in from the top, that should reach the card but can still be pulled out from the top. Use tap to stick the card to the paper. Then pull it out.
In my country, a solicitor is a lawyer, so looking at the business card confused the fuck out of me for a moment!
Can you pry the screen out from that corner, remove the card, then just pry it back (maybe some sealant, I have zero DIY skills)?
Visiting the US years ago I got a chuckle out of "no solicitors" signs
