It was when he performed with the comedian Gallagher on the "Melon Crazy" video that I heard of such clever revenge.

Nice find!!! I've been stewing over who I heard this from.
I do it, BTW - all the time, I just stuff the application back in the envelope and send it back to them. Everything they sent me.

Oh - and telemarketers, Whoever they ask for, even if its the wrong name, I just say - "yeah, they're here, hold on and I'll go get them for you." then I don't come back to the phone until it starts to beep.

How big of an issue is it that you cant just toss the junk mail?

If you owned a company, wouldn't you want to advertise?

This "junk mail" business is huge. If junk mail stopped, Paper companies, printing companies, and the companies who sent the junk mail would go out of business.

Even though they may be annoying, they affect a lot of companies in a positive way.

So just toss it, no need to be a dick and cause companies to pay hundreds of dollars just for a laugh.
Sorry but if you are going to be an annoying prick, so am I.

So are you telling me that 20 seconds of your time (looking at, opening, and throwing away the letter) is worth the lets say $50 of postage you are going to make the company pay for sending back your heavy shit?

You are going to spend about a half hour just getting that shit together to send.

Sounds like a waste of time to me.

How would you like it if someone did that to you?

I have to **** with spam email every day. I have to listen to spam phone calls every day. And of course the junk mail. Hell yes I'll fight back. Just stop it already.

Maddox (Bestpageintheuniverse.com) did something like this on his site, or blogged about it, to me its just too time demanding to package shit up and send it back......the idea's funny thought, but IMO youre just wasting more time getting back at them then it does to sort thru it all and pitch it in the trash.

You aren't really supposed to just toss credit card applications away, fwiw.

That's the thing, they don't listen. Hell if it were up to me I wouldn't get any mail, just deliver all my bills electronically and ship packages via UPS.

What I hate is when Chase sends me Credit Card Checks.

If you dont know what those are, its checks, that can be written that are linked to your Credit Card.

I paid off the balance of that card and will never use it again because it has like a 23% rate.

So if somebody stole my mail, they could just use one of the checks to purchase something.

That makes me angry.

Invest in a shredder. I know what you're saying though. I would call them and request that no correspondence be sent to your house.

I agree,as the owner of a direct mail publication full of coupons,we will gladly remove an address from our mailings if requested to do so.We've had less than 10 though in 18 years but I think alot of that has to do with the fact that our coupons are to local merchants and not true junk mail as in ordering checks,dishtv,have you seen this child,etc
