Like everyone else I keep getting those unasked for ads with return envelopes in my mail. They are a pain in the but for everyone receiving them as well as the person delivering the mail.
A while back I decided to start having some fun with these. I started collecting them and sperating them into catagories:
Insurance
Credit Card Offers
Television Services
Charities
Grab Bag
After a bit I had a nice collection going and I started phase two. When I get a new ad I look in it's catagory and find something from their competitor. This is stuffed in their return envelope and dropped back in the mail box. (For example, an ad for a Visa Card the return envelope for a Master Card.)
Now these companies have to pay the return postage as well as pay the person to open the envelope.
It may not help to get these people to stop sending out their ads but it gets them out of my place.
