Happy Thanksgiving and the mail that WON'T get lost!Happy Turkey Day Stateside! Since I am not in the US right now, I take it that I am obliged to be a non-thankful selfish prick so as to show respect for non-American values. Anyhow, entertaining little anecdote for the day: About 800 people must have previously lived at my current address...only about 20% of the addressed mail we get is actually ours, so it really must say something about the place we live in if people seem to only stay here a few months at a time. One guy even had his mail redirected to this address and now, no longer resides here although the mail is still coming. So as responsible citizens, when we receive a piece of mail that is not addressed to us, rather than throw it out or open it (that's a federal offense), we write RTS on it (return to sender) and put it back in the slot. Address of the sender is clearly marked on the back. This morning, one of the pieces of mail came back to us. With a new time stamp showing that it has been through the mail system 3 times now! I am very tempted to put it back in and see where it goes...it's like an infinite logic loop I suppose.  |
