Me bitching about junk mail

July 29, 2010

Why shouldn’t we have the option of signing a little form that says: ONLY FIRST CLASS MAIL IN MY BOX?

So you don’t care about Aaron’s or that there’s 50 cents off orange juice if you clip the coupon today ! Bloody Mac owning petit bourgeois Americans…

I don’t even know where you would go to rent a private mailbox in this town. Probably The UPS Store.

You would have (more) control of who knows your address, unless UPS sells it out, of course. (And why wouldn’t they, it’s a money-maker for them.)

There are ways to stop unwanted junk mail. http://www.ecocycle.org/junkmail/index.cfm

It does require much effort, but could someday bring the reward of coming home to an empty mailbox.

And yes, there is a form at the USPS to stop junk mail.

Personally, I hope you continue to receive the junk mail, because my life would be that much more dull if I couldn’t hear you whine about it!
