My neighbor has a good way of dealing with junk mail... not only AARP, but anyone who includes a postage paid return envelope.

Just stuff all the crap into the postage-paid return envelope and drop it in the mail. Don't fill anything out, leave it all blank. Just put it all (including those fake "membership cards" they sent you) into the return envelope and drop it in the mail... ^_^

Mix it up and then send it back

Actually I wrote "rap" with a C in front. Didn't know that was considered a no-no by the forum software. :blink:

I guess I deserve a demerit. :D

Maybe, in 20 years when I'm actually retired, I might join AARP...but it's kind of silly now..

I've been doing that for years. Drives the Lovely and Gracious Mrs. B nuts . . . but that's because she's so gracious.

Actually what I do is stuff competitors' garbage into the postage-paid envelope. For example, if ABC Bank solicits us, then I'll stuff XYZ Bank's solicitations into ABC's envelope and vice-versa. At least as best I can, depending on what junk mail I have available at the time.

Little-known fact: the solicitor who sends you postage-paid envelope has to pay postage only if the envelope is used. Thus, if you throw away the envelope, they're out nothing. If you send in their envelope, they have to pay for the postage by weight. Thus, stuff away!!!

It's just a little act of defiance, but the more it costs them and the less return they get, the closer they'll get to abandoning the whole dang thing.

The ones that really burn my backend are the crematoriums with their pay-now-burn-later scams. I REALLY don't need that kind of mail. I just DON'T need to be thinking about that right now!

It's not that bad Dave. A week after my little sister turned 12 she got a letter from an assisted living service asking here when she wanted to sign up. We read through the whole sales pitch and it was hilarious, they were very concerned about what she would do if she broke a hip in the shower or not being able to get anyone's attention when she fell. :lol:

My dog is constantly solicited to vote a certain party's way and to donate to their fundraising. No idea how that happened, he's not even registered.

We help him reply that he's not interested because he's a Re-PUP-ican, and that seems to slow down the mail ~ until the next election.

Last time, however, we mailed in a Milk-Bone campaign contribution and never heard back from them.

Dave, I believe the AARP contacted you rightly so. You may be 35, but you have a lotta miles on ya!

My wife is 2.5 years older than me, so I got my AARP membership early. Haven't found much use for it since any discounts are the same as AAA and at least I get towing! :D
