I like to send my unmarked, unidentifiable junk mail back to the credit card companies in those wonderful prepaid return envelopes! It has to drive them NUTS!!!!!

Good idea!gonna give it a shot.Now I gotta learn to play with tha phone marketers,waste some of their time and money

Yep Dud, they dont pay the postage until those envelopes are used.

That is a great idea!

I've heard of people taping those envelopes to a brick (but I have never done it or seen it done, so is probably just urban legend). As for the telemarketers (political calls now, surveys etc.) I just lay the handset to the phone down and hang it back up later.

I do that with the Serra Club and other Uber-liberal organizations!

That's too funny, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do that.
My wife said they don't care, maybe they don't, but I got a kick out of it.

Most of the time anymore, bricks won't go through--but yeah, it has been done once or twice, or so I've heard . . . .

I spent a couple years trying to get a company to remove me from their mailing list, finally started writing notes requesting that I be removed from their lists, putting the note in the envelope, and taping it to a brick wrapped in butcher paper. After about 10-15, someone actually read the note. I got a very nice call from a lawyer asking me to stop sending bricks; I explained why I was doing it, that the brick was just to get the attention of anyone at the company with an IQ above room temperature, and that I'd really like for them to stop sending me mail 2x a week. I haven't heard from them since.
