Mail attack!!

Help, I’m being attached by unwanted mail!!

When I opened my work email this morning I had over a 100 new messages. I have over 70 in my personal email account and 7 in the neighborhood account. About a quarter to a third of it was junk. I mean really, who opens an email titled, “make more pleasure for your loving one”? I really have no interest in making my body parts larger; they’re all large enough thank you very much.

At home it is just a bad with the regular mail. I don’t need anymore insurance, storm windows or satellite TV. I don’t need or want another credit card, and I really, really, really don’t want another piece of mail offering me one. I don’t care what the rate is, or what bank it comes from. Unless it’s completely free money, get out of my mailbox!

I’m sick of being a target for mass mailing!! I’m also sick of being the target of targeted mailing I haven’t specifically asked for. I read the other day where the post office is running out of money. We should change the mailing policies so that there is no bulk rate; it all has to go first class. In addition, any piece of mail unwanted by the recipient can be returned at the expense of the sender. The post office make money both ways and I get the satisfaction of returning all that mail to the sender and have them recycle it. Now if I could just figure out something as sensible for email.
