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:
That seems dangerously negligent.
Welfare checks have been conducted over less.
When it's too cold out to wanna walk all the way up there, I've gone for 3-4 months at a stretch. All I ever get is garbage anyway, so it's only ever mattered twice, and one of those was an expected package.
No one's ever called me a welfare check :(
I’m in the military lol. The government definitely knows I’m alive by 0600 sharp every morning.
I've had a P.O. box for years because I don't want to disclose my home address when I register domains. Maybe I should check it one of these days...
Ok boomer
Arthur Dent kinda stuff is going to happen to him. Yellow...
I get it, I check mine maybe once a week, but if I go longer than that it’s completely stuffed full. At some point it’s just not nice to the mail carrier that has to try and jam shit in there.
If junk mail didn’t exist wouldn’t be an issue, but there is a lot of verbose junk sent in the mail.
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.
My bank called me and told me I needed to come it due to something with my account. I asked what it was and they weren’t clear. I asked if they were just going to try and sell me a credit card and they said no. During the week I work banking hours, so they agreed to have me come in on Saturday. So on Saturday, instead of doing what I want, I get dressed and go to the bank. They tried to sell me a credit card and a savings account. Since that happened I found a new bank and have been migrating over. I plan to close the account completely in the coming months. I was a customer for 22 years without any issues, but fuck them for lying to me and disrupting my weekend for a sales pitch.
In the stamp postmark area, if you see "Prepaid Sorted Standard", most of the time it's junk mail like what you describe. Regardless of how "important" it says it is.
That’s a good tip, thank you!
I'm like this with email. I do a quick visual scan about once per week... or fortnight... because it's almost all SPAM, and no matter how many blocks and filters I create, it does little to hold back the tide of trash.
Everyone who matters knows the only way to reach me reliably is via text message.
I nearly missed a jury duty notice because of this habit. I only check if I know money or a specific bill is coming.
If you live in the US, you can get your mail sent to your email inbox every day you are getting something that is directly addressed to you (i.e., not spam). It's called USPS Informed Delivery.
It doesn't always work if they get your address slightly off (say they put STE instead of APT), but it's a lot better than nothing.
Just signed up for this, thank you. It’s fantastic!
Now I can check my mail from the comfort of my bed. USPS email comes daily at 0400.
