I'm sure quite a few people would be with me. Heck, I'd pay $25/year to not get all that crap. 40,000 other people in the country join me and that is an extra $1M. I'm sure they could get more than 40k on board.
Our mailman was whining last week and threatening to not deliver mail to our building because a couple of the guys don't clean out the junkmail quickly enough for him (one is always out of town and it fills up fast).
I get one important thing a month in the mail. The rest is just garbage (especially the weekly ads) that I just have to carry upstairs and then eventually out to the recycling dumpster behind the building. The part that really annoys me is that I have to dig through every nook and cranny of those ads because other things will end up in there. Back in May my mom was upset (I guess) that I never thanked her for the birthday card so one day she finally asked me about it and I had never received it. I probably missed it stuck between Burger King coupons and a full page ad for hearing aids. Why can't the USPS just recycle that junk right there at the main post office before it clogs my mailbox and eats stuff that is actually important? They have scanners that can pick up on a name at an old address to forward to the new address automatically. Why can't they set up a 'forwarding address' for anything marked 'resident' or 'neighbor' that goes straight to the recycling bin?
It would be a win/win for the USPS. They get the money from the jerkfaces sending me junk and they get money from me to save the effort of delivering it.
Along the same lines, after repeated returns and failed attempts to have mail addressed to "John Smith" not delivered to our house, I now just throw it away. Don't care if it's official mail or junk and if someone steals Mr. Smith's identity or credit card information by dumpster diving, not my problem.

If you hang out in a Home Depot for awhile things just magically take care of themselves.

Forgot to mention, my kids watch HGTV too. And that tree house show, whatever channel it is.

Every time I hear the word "Sanctuary" I hear Quasimodo in my head yelling "Sanctuary!"
Every time someone mentions persimmons I hear Daffy Duck say "Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin."

I'd be much more likely to take medication as prescribed if it was hallucinogenic.
