LionelBSpecial delivery of a Virgin Wines junk mail. Seems like they have taken leave of their senses.<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/junkmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#junkmail</a>

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. ☕☕☕6 February 2025I regularly donate to a few select charities and causes. As a result, I'm inundated with junk mail requests for donations. Most of these go directly into my shredder since I don't respond to mail requests. The few causes that I support are ones I either sought out or stumbled across. Interestingly, some donation requests come with money, so now they're sending me money. I have a dollar bill and a small collection of nickels that certain organizations have sent me. Perhaps they do this so I have to open the envelope and remove the nickels before shredding it. I really, really hate junk mail."Christmas cards ... are technically only junk mail from people you know." - Patricia Marx"Unsolicited advice is the junk mail of life." - Bernard Williams<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photographylovers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#morning</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/sunset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sunset</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/inverted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inverted</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/junkmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#junkmail</a>

LisaHI got one of those unsolicited credit card offers in the mail. There is an opt-out phone number that supposedly stops these offers for 5 years from all 3 credit reporting companies.

Festering FerretMy boss got a piece of junk mail that was addressed to an old friend of his from school. The kicker? The old friend died 10 years ago. It never stops.

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning, friends. 🌺🌺🌺17 September 2024I give regularly to certain charities and causes. The problem is I'm inundated with junk mail because of that. Another source of junk mail are organizations that I belong to who also insist on sending me a monthly magazine. All of this stuff goes straight into my shredder, unless the envelope contents are too bulky forcing be to open it before shredding the contents. The magazines, well I shred my name and address and throw the magazine away. Needless to say, it is annoying. My shredded paper bin is filling up faster every day. Don't get me started on junk email, I spend time every day deleting unsolicited email, I don't bother to read it."It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence" - Jacques Barzun<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photographylovers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#morning</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/junkmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#junkmail</a>

Jon KnightI've just had one of those annoying pizza shop flyers put through my letterbox, despite the "no junk mail" sticker.Still, I can convert this flyer into an actual pizza.Admittedly I do have to compost it for 6 months, then use the compost to grow onions, tomatoes or other veggies next year, and then make a pizza at home (the best kind). But hey, its free compost material and home made pizza is sooooo much nicer than shop crap.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#growyourown</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/junkmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#junkmail</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pizza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pizza</a>

Ian Gregoire (Author) ☑For two consecutive months I have received junk mail trying to sell me a place in retirement homes for the over 65.

JdeBPTwo more election leaflets (LCP and CUP) came through the door today, and went straight into the recycling bin.But, more interestingly, so did something called Lego Magazine.What‽Someone is sending out a junk mail free magazine about Lego‽There are a fair number of pages to it, too. I've not opened and read it, and it goes straight into the recycling bin as well.

Jonathan KamensNew hot take after spending countless hours going through years of accumulated paperwork at my elderly uncle's: every mailing that is an advertisement should be required by law to have the words "this is an advertisement" printed on both sides of the envelope or postcard, with FTC enforcement power. The quantity of deceptive, time-wasting mailings my uncle has received is appalling. This simple law would fix that. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ElderAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElderAbuse</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scams</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/JunkMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JunkMail</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advertising</a>

Tim ReedIt's hard to say for sure whether opting out of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/JunkMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JunkMail</a> actually works. I've been using <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PaperKarma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PaperKarma</a> to reduce the volume of junk mail that my mom gets, seemingly without success. So I've started calling junk mail senders directly to get her off their lists. The <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NationalWildlifeFederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NationalWildlifeFederation</a> (which gets 4 stars on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CharityNavigator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CharityNavigator</a>) was very helpful and took her off right away. They also pointed me to <a href="https://www.directmail.com/mail_preference" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.directmail.com/mail_preference</a> where I can ask to remove her from all their campaigns.🤞
