Very good idea!


That coupon, for the pizza shown there... that's a place called "Pizza guys"... they make such great pizza! Much better than the chain places around here (Round table, pizza hut, etc). They are cheap too!

sheeeeeeet....

i would mail back the rip up forms back to them...

btw, this is another way to get back at spammer and junk faxers.

if they list an 800 number, collect them and write them down. WHATEVER YOU DO, dont use your own phone.

use a payphone when you are like waiting in line or something.

screw it to them...

I 'v just been mailing back the postage-paid return envelopes empty.

But has anyone noticed that some companies now print a barcode and 'customer number' on the backside of the envelope? Think this is legit? Or just a tactic to discourage people like me?

I thought the point is to let them know who is doing this so they'll stop sending you junk mail? If you're hiding your name then you're just playing pranks.

or you can just right return to sender on the front and stick it back in your mailbox.. they'll get it in a error type fashion and probably remove your address from their list... i know we do

edit: we dont send out junk mail though...

Back in the 90's (sheesh) my dad and I gathered up all our crap parts like busted control arms, old rotors and stuff, boxed it up and slapped a Business Reply Mail card on each one, gone.

Kills two birds with one stone. Not sure if you can still do that.

If it costs them 10 cents to receive a sheet of paper, how much more will it cost them to receive a sheet of steel.
LOL!
