Even more reason not to trust the postal service...

I've never had that much faith in the postal service and lately what little faith I did have is fading at a rapid rate.

Since we moved, we've been getting mail for who I can only assume are the previous tenants. I'm not sure why some of their mail isn't getting forwarded, but a few pieces are regularly appearing in our mailbox.

I can understand that things get overlooked. So when we get a piece of mail, I write, "No longer at this address" on the envelope (right next to the address), take it to work and drop it in the mail bin.

So the other day, we check the mail and what do you think is in our mail box? Two of the pieces of mail we previously received that still say (in my writing), "No longer at this address."

So, I took a different color pen and wrote this: "Please DO NOT put this piece of mail back in the mail box for 714 10th St. NE. They DO NOT live here anymore."

Let's see if I get the same mail back. If so, I have no idea what to do. One of these pieces is some guy's credit card bill. I think he's going to want that.

But what to do? I'm trying, but for some reason, the good old U.S. Postal Service just doesn't seem to be able to read my nice notes.

I'll let you know if I see this mail again...for some pieces it could be the third time.

Ugh!
