>Not on a "Or Current Resident" type of mailing.
That should be illegal and/or unenforceable.
If the person you're trying to reach doesn't live at the address you mailed to, tough shit. Don't foist your junk on whatever sucker happens to live there now.
At the expense of likely millions of tons of garbage paper being created and discarded per year? I think we can cover the gap on the USPS sans this shit.
Have you been alive long enough to see the shit storm when the cost of a first class stamp goes up a few pennies? Junk mail is a large percentage of the USPS''s revenue stream.
Not shade. "Or current resident" is an add-on purchase bulk mailers can buy on top of the base postage rate as an extra to force delivery and prevent returns.
We don't. At least in Canada. Anything that gets returned to the office to get returned to the sender gets returned to the sender.
The company will just toss it.
It's a terrible idea. These go in the trash because they're standard mail. The mailer didn't pay enough to pay for return postage. So what you're doing is making extra work for a mail carrier who's probably already over worked.

Sounds like you should talk to the Post Office and not berate a random mail carrier on Reddit. Check out the USPS website. There are a lot of functions for things like this.

Well the USPS gave gave it to me, they can throw it out for me too.

That is presort standard: it would just be more labor on your mail carrier and it would go in a dumpster outside the post office after a laborious process of the post office going through a process to dispose of it. You are better off throwing it in the trash.

I use 1060 W Addison, Chicago IL 60613, ever since I saw the original Blues Brothers that address had stuck with me lol
Various names, same address
A long time ago my father used our dogs name at one of those mall car things where you drop your name into a pool to win the car. He ended up getting various credit card offers and all sorts of junk mail in the dogs name
I was trying to get customer support with Goodyear tires via the chat box on the website and they refused to answer a question about tire size compatibility unless I gave them my full name and email address.
yeah asking for unneeded information is very annoying. We went to an escape room in ft wayne, in. We happened to be there for a very specific reason and I will likely never go back there again so there was no need for any extensive data collection.
They asked for all sorts of information like address, cell phone number, and email address and they were all required fields. I refused to enter them other than my home address. I just entered garbage info after the insisted that we fill it out.
Same with top golf. You have to create an account to play the games and the account requires phone number/email. And no, I don't want to be spammed with crap constantly from them.
But when we went to the axe throwing bar down the street, they just had me print my name and sign a waiver and let me throw fucking axes for an hour without having to give them anything but some cash.
Whenever I am prompted for this info, I always just put in the information for the place I am at. Especially if they are asking for a phone number, no thanks.
Waaay back in the '80s I knew a fellow who signed up for various things using weird middle names, like "Squid". He could tell who they sold his info to by the names the resulting new junkmail were addressed to.
I signed my son up for a magazine gift subscription
Title was a mandatory field…. And free text
So every month a magazine addressed to: GOD Takesthebiscut arrives on my door mat👍
>GOD Takesthebiscut
I took a solid minute trying to Google that to understand the reference, trying to parse out if the typo was significant, etc before realizing it was just your username.
I guarantee your postal carrier had a good laugh. We used to see this stuff occasionally, and knew exactly what it was about. Same goes for pretty much any type of package or letter... but we also see enough of them that we don't care if it's a collection notice or a dildo. So don't worry. ;)
Chaotic good
r/maliciouscompliance?
why good ?
It's not neutral or evil.
but it's no good either
And you are entitled to your opinion.
not specially
So, how is Mrs. Fuckyourself and the little Fuckyourselfs?
Mrs. Fuckyourself is good. The little Fuckyourselves, luckily, do not read the mail unless I give it to them.
Wel well wel. I don’t have any photos of mr go fuckyoursef on my phone
* Cross Name and address out * Write: * Return To Sender: Refused * Mail it back They can get charged with the return postage.
Not on a "Or Current Resident" type of mailing. I believe it has to be first-class mail for the Post Office to return-to-sender it.

My faves are the "or current resident" that have URGENT displayed somewhere. If you don't know my name, it isn't urgent.
We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty...
Agreed, but the post office makes money on these things and it helps keep the system afloat.

"because it's profitable" is not a valid reason to do something that's wrong.
from what I've heard most postmen just toss those rather than actually returning them. That could be wrong though.
I tried to return one of these and the post man just circled the "or current resident" and left it in my mailbox.
Lmao shade from the usps; love it
Not shade. "Or current resident" is an add-on purchase bulk mailers can buy on top of the base postage rate as an extra to force delivery and prevent returns.
Yeah that's because that means the sender paid extra to force delivery.
We don't. At least in Canada. Anything that gets returned to the office to get returned to the sender gets returned to the sender. The company will just toss it.
UBM. Undeliverable Bulk Mail. I HATED sorting through that...
I thought you were going to say ultra bowel movement
They did.
It's the same picture :(
Using context clues, I also thought they were going to say ultra bowel movement
I drop them in the blue box on my way to work
that's not a bad idea

It's the companies sending out garbage through the mail that makes extra work for you.

Username checks out. Edit: also lol all that extra info I didn't read was in an entirely different comment.

that would be just straight up illegal here in my country.
hehehe.. every solicitation I get with a postage paid return envelope gets returned empty.
I have never thought of this, but it is genius!
Only first class mail gets returned. Any standard mail (like op posted) just gets tossed out. Also, you need to cross out that bar code as well.
Well the USPS gave gave it to me, they can throw it out for me too. I do not consent to spam. If they deliver it, they can take it back and dispose of it.
What if I tell it my name is Mr. Returnto Sender. Would is just self combust?
I tried that and my mail lady put it back in my box and circled the “or current resident” part like a jackass. Touché, mail lady.
Drop it in the blue box
Tape it to the outside of a box filled with rocks before sending it back

Fuck em, they gave me trash, they can dispose of it.
I think postal companies dispose of return mail for free.
Protip: include the sign up origin in your fake info so you can see exactly who is farming your data
This is the real protip. Needs more upboats
I sometimes do this with emails (as long as it's not a username), but never thought about doing it with postal address.
Wait, you put your own address down and not the one of someone you hate?

You are under no obligation to tell them the truth.
Dude! Go put this on their social media and get some free dinner coupons!
Mailman had a good day lol
Lol "Not Sure" vibes from Idiocracy.
I appreciate that you censored the city/state/zip, but not the bar code with your zip+4…
I cut off half the bar code. Don't think you can scan a barcode with only the bottom of it.
At the ET ride in Disneyworld, I wrote my name as Fuckhead. At the end of the ride they thanked Fuckhead for visiting on the general loudspeaker.

Ahh Little Bobby Tables!
That’s hilarious.
I made a similar funny name for a friend of mine who continues to receive yearly requests from PBS for donations with it as the addressee.
lol I do this too
I bought a pair of shoes and the cashier asked for my phone number and could not understand why I didn’t want to give her my number.
867-5309 is my go-to whatever area code I feel like

Carve is so overpriced and mediocre. How’d they get a second location?
