Pieces of mail that you get that you immediately throw away without reading

Publishers' Clearinghouse

Letters from Best Egg, Marcus, and other lending companies. I get them every day.

Jury duty notices

I always throw my neighbors' Amazon packages into my yard

NEVER throw away anything from the Nielsen Corporation.

They're not just the TV rating people. They send out short surveys to random people for various other clients and there is often a few bucks of cold hard cash in there that their clients have paid to compensate you for your time if you so choose to answer their survey.

It ain't much, but free money is free money.

Anything from Cox. I left you and I’m never coming back so get over it.

I love getting these surveys with 5 bucks enclosed.

I put the money in my wallet and throw away the rest. Then just lol when they follow up with a guilt trip.

So my solution to this and credit card apps and all, was to take their prepaid envelopes and stuff them with whatever I could find.


I would write “NO...Eff off” on the applications and by the time I was done their envelopes weighed several ounces and I would mail it back to them.

The credit card companies pay for the return postage and after about a month or two I stopped receiving them.

Whether it had anything to do with my mailing stuff back or not, I can’t confirm, but I like to think it did.
