It's a Holiday here today- Boxing Day. I awoke early and have driven to the next County to drop some things off and eighty miles later was back home by just gone 8am.
To be honest, I'm pretty much out of peeves at the moment, but one reason I went where I did was to deliver a present that had wrongly been put in ours baginstead of with my sister's when we exchanged presents.
So, going on from there, how about this for a peeve?
The problem I have with this, is that there is another street in the town I live in, that
has the same name. So, sometimes things are delivered here meant for the other address.
This is no big deal with letters etc, I just re-post them. Trouble is, the people from the
other same named street sometimes like to order late night takeout food delivered to them.
On a number of occasions I have been woken after midnight with a pizza delivery!!!
We've been here for almost 4 years and yet we still get mail for the previous owners. Nothing I can do or say changes it.
You would think that the bundle of mail I hand the carrier every month with "addressee unknown" in big red letters on each piece would have given her a clue. Nope!
It’s amazing that corporations who send letters and parcels out “never” correct or change their database of addresses when items are returned by the post office. I remember when I was working at the corporate office here in town and the post office would bring a “truck load” of returned mail to the company mailroom. Nobody wanted to do anything with UPDATING the customer information database. The returned letters remained in large containers for weeks on end, and then finally someone would fill the dumpster with them. It was sad to see all the money wasted on mailing and worse filling up the landfill with things that could be recycled.

Oh well.
I mentioned that to our mailman one time and his reponse is we're to deliver to the address number only, not the name. He said don't try to return it, we won't accept it, tear it up.

Interesting...
and here I've been dutifully writing "not at this address" and returning misaddressed mail. Guess I'll just throw it away myself. If it looks important, I'll shred it.

If it's First Class Mail and you write "addressee unknown - return to sender" the Post Office is supposed to return it. Don't know about other classes of mail.
I was given a recently disconnected phone number once and for weeks I was getting calls from collection agencies looking for the previous owners. Had a hard time convincing some of them that I was not the person they were looking for.
