here's a great way to bitch

Ok, you know all the junk mail you get----credit card offers, places looking for donations, etc... well put those little prepaid envelopes that they send to good use. Write down what your gripe is, or even just how your day is going and mail it off

You know, that is a great idea! I will have to do this!

ANy advice for those who come door to door trying to convert you? I have my ideas, but they are rather cruel
But I only did it once...

I usually just tell 'em to come back on the 1st or 15th... that's when my welfare check comes in, and that I'll donate/buy it after feeding my eight kids. They usually kinda stutter and manage to wish you a great day before running away...

What's the point of that? I can see sending a complaint to the company using their pre-paid envelope, but mixing up the stuff? I don't get it.

because they have to go through and sort out the mail and try and figure what in the green hades is going on especailly if you go to the post office and pick up like 50 or 60 of them off the counter

 

[Whispersecret]

No, Todd, I meant, WHY do that?

just because its fun to scrwe witht her lives as much as they do ours. especailly when the mail is processed by computer. it can suhut the whole system down, just to figure out what in the world hasa happened to thier beautiful flawless sytem

Sending me mail that I don't want isn't screwing with my life. It's an effective way for them to do business. I spend as little time on the junk mail as I can. Seems like a lot of trouble to go to for a dubious result.

OLD NEWS

Thanks but I got that in an e-mail about 3 weeks ago. I usually just return the unopened envelope to the sender. That way, they pay postage twice. Besides, that idea that you mention only waste the gas that I use to bring it to a mailbox or post office. So they'd win in the long run.

A different twist...

...when I moved to England I learned a couple of new twists on the door-to-door bit.

Each week I get about three or four catalogs shoved through my door with a note that the person will be back around on such and such a date to collect the catalog and my order. Of course, it goes straight in the bin because I'm not interested in the overpriced, cheaply made crap that they offer. The person shows up on that date and then gets really miffed because I had the audacity of throw away their catalog.

The second twist is the door-to-door thug. They come around with a bag full of stuff you can buy at Woolies for less than a quid and want to sell it you for a fiver. When you tell them you're not interested they get abusive, sometimes kick your car or house, and get threating. The last one who started to get that way I said "just a minute, my son might be interested." I called him down from his weight lifting workout (famous judo champ). He took one look at the wimpy fart and told him to piss off. The guy put his tail between his legs and scurried off. He hasn't been back since. I was mildly amused.

As for the junk mail...why bother? Keep a trash can by the letter slot and sort it out first thing.

I had a similiar incident, Closet Desire. Back home in New Orleans, I used to get these automated phone calls offering 5 magazine subscriptions for the price of two magazine subscriptions. The recording begins by explaining how the offer works and then it would ask you to name 2 magazines that you currently read but don't subscribe to (this is recorded by them). I would always say something like "MuscleMag International" & "Guns & Ammo" or "Soldier of Fortune". I would never get a call back to confirm any orders or additional offers. Why? I named those types of magazines so that they can imagine some huge powerlifter (which I am) with the mentality of a gun happy hit man (which I'm not).
