    Default junk mail anyone?

    so i read this somewhere and i thought it's hilarious and maybe i should actually start doing it

    Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right It costs them more than the regular 50 cents postage 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes. One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes) ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 50 cents. The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all, they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea ! If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore.

    The old tenant at our place doesn't forward his fucking mail so we get a mail box full of all his shit every day.

    any suggestions?

    If you want to virtually eliminate unaddressed junk mail in your mailbox, do what it shows on this website. We tried it and it works (except for political mailings. I guess those get thru no matter what.)

    Oh, and you don't have to buy one of their stickers. We just printed one out and put it in the supermailbox opening with packing tape. We also filled out the form and dropped it in the mail slot (no postage needed.) The junk mail stopped the next day.
