  • I am almost to the point where I don’t mind normal junk mail. That’s easy to quickly scan, identify as junk, and toss.

    What really grinds my gears are when my companies contact me and write something like “Important” on it. This happened recently with my credit card company. I thought maybe I had gone overdue, or had overpaid and this was letting me know my bill the following month would be less (it has happened before).

    No - it was letting me know I had good credit and could get a good % on a loan through them if I wanted. Now, that made me mad. Junk mail, from my very own credit card company. B.S.

    I’m the same way with my mail.

    I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.

    If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).

    Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox.

    For example, with bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.

    Exceptions:

    1. Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
    2. For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.
