they deserve it

Binder · 05-02-2003, 08:02 AM

that was funny

Ogre840 · 05-02-2003, 09:45 AM

holy shit thats great... i cant wait for today's mail now...

eyeronic · 05-02-2003, 10:30 AM

I don't get those anymore. Not for the past couple years. Hmm. Maybe there's something bad on my rating?

Go_AVS · 05-02-2003, 10:46 AM

it might be funny but it's too much work. I just rip everything up and throw it away.

heyal256 · 05-02-2003, 03:37 PM

That doesn't seem like a bad idea, but then that means that i would have to open up most of the junk mail that i get. You can usually tell credit card offer from the envelope/sender when you get it (even the ones that look like normal mail).

bundy · 05-02-2003, 03:51 PM

ha!
this sounds like fun.

JadziaDax · 05-02-2003, 03:58 PM

This is actually something I've been doing for some time on and off... it feels good. You should definitely try it.

KWSN · 05-02-2003, 04:06 PM

LOL.... that's actually a REALLY good idea... better than throwing the stuff out...

Motry Latchman · 05-03-2003, 04:46 PM

I will start Monday! I get several of these stoopid things a month, now I will look forward to them!

troit · 05-03-2003, 09:47 PM

I've been doing this for a couple of years now. Its a good way to get rid of junk mail and the best part about it is that the credit card company gets charges by the USPS for that piece of mail.

chodarama · 05-03-2003, 10:14 PM

I've always crammed as many pieces of trash as possible into those prepaid envelopes to make it as heavy as possible. There's always another asshat company's junk in the mail in a few days, so it never stops. Try putting rocks and other heavy shit in there that you find on the side of the road. Also, put crushed aluminum cans in those envelopes and duct tape them shut. Yaay fun!

chodarama · 05-03-2003, 10:16 PM

In case you were wondering, the reason for putting heavy shit in there is that it will cost them more for shipping.

Dr. Smooth · 05-04-2003, 08:29 AM

that maddox page is really the funniest page on the net, IMO. check out the crappy children's artwork

merkerguitars · 05-04-2003, 09:16 AM

Heheh I will have to try that....damn thats a funny website.....

Force 10 · 05-04-2003, 09:39 AM

I do that every now and then. I love the jesus dress up ;-) I didn't even look at the link but I know what it is as I'm sure i've seen it before.

CBlend · 05-04-2003, 11:33 AM

This is fun. I've been doing this for a few years and I ALWAYS send back something. I get like 3 credit card offers by mail a week!!!

JangoFett72 · 05-04-2003, 10:17 PM

Between my wife and I we get at least two credit card applications everyday! Its payback time!

Wingnut · 05-05-2003, 06:00 AM

Cool idea

gibber71 · 05-05-2003, 12:37 PM

Thanks for the suggestion.I get 3 times the junk mail than regular mail.

TerresqueÜ · 05-05-2003, 01:58 PM

That's a very good idea. I'm gunna give that a whirl next application I get!

Empty_One · 05-05-2003, 03:03 PM

I can't wait untill I get some junk mail now. I've been giggling like a school girl ever since I read this. Thanks

Eviltree · 05-05-2003, 06:09 PM

that reminds me of marcopolo's "real time screwing with a spammer" from the last TFP. A good joke at their expence.

crewsor · 05-05-2003, 06:17 PM

Great idea, I get tons of that junk. Now I can recycle it.

GremlinDelirium · 05-06-2003, 12:21 AM

Think i am going to have to start doing this... Great tip! thanks

apetaster · 05-06-2003, 02:11 AM

Back in the pre-anthrax days one could safely put a quantity of beach sand in those envelopes and send it back to them. Hours of fun.

yotta · 05-06-2003, 03:22 AM

Make sure you spooge on it

Hycdubg · 05-06-2003, 07:41 AM

That is a fantastic idea. I will try it next time I get junk mail.

Zotz · 05-08-2003, 07:59 PM

Great idea! I have a feeling the credit card companies are going to start receiving a lot of junk mail.

oberon · 05-08-2003, 10:00 PM

ROFL! Excellent idea, I'll use that next time.. too bad I ripped up all my CC junk today.

Empty_One · 06-07-2003, 08:23 PM

I don't really have anything else to add, just that everyonce I like to pull the oldest thread in the queue back up to the top.
