And it'll be the most subtle, unassuming envelope too. (lemmy.world)

As someone who rents so much of my mail is from past residents which I have told them do not live here, or local ads (literally several magazines per month) which I can't opt out of cause it's EDDM, that I straight up just stopped collecting it. Any small packages that would have gone in the box go on top of the cluster and any letters I received are stuffed into the box and I pick them out if I happen to notice I'm missing something.

Anyone that really needs my attention would call me or email me shrug

When I was renting I had a stamp "Return to sender. Addressee not known at this address"

I do similar. Cross the name out with a Sharpie and write "MOVED".

After owning the place for two years now I just throw it out.

Just so you know, throwing mail away that isn't yours is a federal crime.

I did that for a couple years, and now I still get junk from the previous owner. I've been here 10 years...

Then again, now I get invitations to retirement stuff, so I guess that's cool (I'm nowhere near retirement, but the previous owner was about that age).

Yeah it took some 15 years for the letters for the people who lived in my house before me to stop

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I mostly just toss them now, but if I get a bunch all at once, I'll take a couple minutes to annoy the mail carrier with some "Not at this address" markings.

My mailbox is near where I leave my garbage, so I only check it once a week. I immediately throw anything that's clearly an ad directly into the garbage and never look at it.

Same here. Like 90% of my mail is for previous residents. One guy apparently never updated his address so he keeps getting sent checks and I just throw them away. I've been living here for 9 months 🤷‍♂️

I check my mail like once every few weeks. I checked it a few days ago and most of it wasn't for me. Three out of the 5 things that were for me were from TicketMaster, Rite-Aid, and Choice Healthcare and they were all "Sorry, we've been hacked and your personal info was probably leaked."
