Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting a lot of junk mail with the disguise of being something really important and special on the outside. Most of the crap like this I don’t fall for:
But the thing is, if something says PRIORITY DELIVERY or IMPORTANT MATERIAL ENCLOSED, even though I am 99% sure it is junk, I can’t bring myself to just throw it in the trash. What if my big break is enclosed in there? So I always have to open it up and then growl in fury, cursing the cable/phone companies sending me the junk mail. Comcast and Bellsouth are usually the guilty parties. Every new scheme they come up with leaves me thinking, “They can’t top that. Not legally.” But check this one out:
To me, this is taking it a bit far. It says ACTION REQUIRED, OPEN IMMEDIATELY. It has a fake tracking number, a fake stamp of confirmed delivery, and it says it has time sensitive documents. Then I open it up and it is just an offer for a cheap land line. Who uses land lines anymore anyways? My parents are thinking about getting rid of their land line and they are in their late 50s! How much can they just lie on the outside of an envelope and think people aren’t going to hate them? I’m not done though, this one really ticked me off. Right before Christmas I get this nice envelope in the mail and pulled this card out:
Probably with a goofy smile on my face because I thought someone was actually sending me nice Christmas wishes, I open the card and see this:
I HATE YOU COMCAST!
