I'm cheap, but this is nuts.

[multigraincracker]

I donate to a few worthwhile causes, but damn it I’ve got a lifetime of return address stickers. Please stop. I now have to toss em out then I get more every day. I must have a couple million and can’t handle anymore

[piddyprints]

1. It's really fun

When they don’t spell your name correctly. That makes them even more worthless.

[multigraincracker]

4. I'll have to start looking at them.

[Croney]

2. I always say I can tell when I'm not donating enough to charity,

I run out of free address labels! You must give more than I do.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. I hear your pain.

That will teach you not to give stuff away. There is a price to be paid. Sticker-shock is yours, I think.

[El Supremo]

5. I haven't had to print any of my own for years!

I even save the ones from charities that I don't give to. But I feel guilty.

6. Years ago I bought a hand stamp

and ink pad. Those companies went out of business, I think.

[fierywoman]

9. You can still get them from a company via Costco. It's what I do, too.

[Fla Dem]

7. It's kind of ridiculous isn't it. With more and more transactions

available online, bill pay, etc, need for return address stickers is greatly reduced. Ones I get now I cut up and trash.

[multigraincracker]

11. I'm old school.

Hacked one time and I do zero online banking. Was paying the bank $5/month for protection. Got no help, so screw em.
Problem now is the USPO is slow and I have to mail em the day I get em.

8. Want to have some fun with address stickers?

When you subscribe to a magazine or order a catalog or whatever, put a typo in your name-- a different typo for each time, like
Jane Jonez
Jand Jones
Jone Jones

Then when the address stickers come, you'll know who sold your name to the mail-order company.

Okay, kind of a longterm prank, but...

10. Last week, from the Boys Town of Nebraska, I think, I

received a big package that included a monthly planner, calendar, X-mas cards and envelopes, mailing and X-mas labels. What a tremendous waste of trees, for stuff I don't need and probably won't use.
I have never contributed to them in my life.

[multigraincracker]

12. I got that too.

My first thought was a dang Focus Group came up with that shit.

[luckone]

13. Even just the gummy sheets of return labels alone,as simple as they are, seem environmentally wrong

to me. Too much waste
A few paper greeting cards if they must, at least I can use them for last minute note paper around the house if I don’t need them or recycle

[LakeArenal]

14. I just started to donate in jars.

Like at dog food store. Or the poppy people. It cuts way down on labels and ugly greeting cards.

[MichaelSoE]

15. I forget who sends it to me but at least once a year I receive an appeal for a donation and

there is a dime in the envelope. Of course I keep it as it would cost me more to send it back.

And as a side note, I do make donations but not to every organization that asks.
