Junk Mail Grrrrrrrrrrr
« on: December 12, 2019, 10:33:40 am »
I get tons of junk mail and due to my two recent eye surgeries went over reasonable time to check my mailbox which is a lock box in our community.  Well two packages and some excess mail were taken to the post office and that is another long boring but very hard on me story.  Today's post is really about spending hours literally calling individual catalogs and other assorted junk mail to get taken off their mailing list.  What ticked me off the most is all the catalogs I get from companies I have never heard of which means information sharing Grrrrrrrrrrrr Do you have a postal or junk mail issue?  h by the way my post man was a jerk about the whole thing

Most of the aggravation that my husband and I have is not so much junk mail but telemarketing phone calls. 

We own a business and our phone rings often enough for legitimate business calls.  But those telemarketers are horrible.  We downloaded an app which has been a big help but there are still unwanted calls that slip through.

I don't mind junk mail in the regular mail might be the only mail I get.  This time of year I like the Christmas cards I get from organizations that want money. but in my email I don't like.  I know that's weird.

I hardly get any junk mail! It is so hard to even get anything delivered and put in the mail box. I am thankful for whatever gets put in there though!

Mine goes in the recycle bin, so I get a kick out the cost factor, costs them to send and we get the recycle returns!

I have a post office box that all of my mail goes to which I check once a month. It takes me fifteen minutes to sort through it all and ninety five percent of it goes right in the garbage/recycling bin. I used to black out my name/any numbers that might be used to identify myself and I would use the postage paid envelope to send the junk mail back to the source but that got boring and I felt that by doing this I was letting the advertiser win. I have also gotten somewhat annoyed about political e-mails sent to my primary personal e-mail address. I used to unsubscribe but this seemed to multiply the number of e-mails I would get so I just delete them. Same thing with solicitation phone calls although I get a little joy in blocking them on my phone.

I hardly ever get junk mail, or any mail. I only check the mailbox twice a week. I guess if you move a lot, they tend to lose track of you. Or maybe they just give up.  ;)
