What should I put in the postpaid envelope to Citibank?

[tblue]

Looking for suggestions. I want to make it count.

[kayakjohnny]

1. I'd go with a nice heavy roofing shingle.

[kayakjohnny]

2. Or lead fishing weights. Affordable and also gravity intensive.

[MiddleFingerMom]

3. I agree with lead. And suggest that they turn THAT into gold. n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

20. put the lead in an envelope sized fish

tape it up good now.

[Deep13]

4. Everything I can think of is harder on their wage slaves than on the company. nt

[kayakjohnny]

5. Their wage slaves ARE the company.

[Deep13]

13. That's true, of course.

I was thinking of the company power structure, but like the nation, the power structure of a thing is not the thing.

6. shit

7. It won't be delivered if it's too heavy.

I usually run the contents of the unwanted solicitation through the paper shredder and send it back in the pre-paid envelope.

[RebelOne]

8. Just as I do with all those pre-approved credit card offers,

I tear them up and send back the pieces in their post-paid envelope.

[quakerboy]

10. I dont

I figure they are just screwy enough to piece them back together, read my name, approve it, and send me a card.

Plus if you just send them back their own, you cant break into the second ounce of postage. And I do like to donate to the USPS.

[RebelOne]

15. No, that postage is on their dime.

I did that so many times that finally the junk mail stopped coming.

[quakerboy]

18. Thats what makes donating so much fun

And I do like to hit the second ounce so that my donation of their money is that much larger.

[freshwest]

19. You devil, you!

[GoCubsGo]

24. I only return the parts that have no name or address on them.

That way, they keep sending them, and I can give the USPS more business. I might add other junk mail, just to increase the weight, and therefore, the postage due.

[quakerboy]

9. Recycling

Paper. If its too much, obviously a brick or something, it will end up discarded, on your dime(via paying for trash service for the USPS). But you can fit in enough paper to top the ounce and get them charged that little extra pretty easily. Then Citi gets to pay for postage, extra postage, the person to open and examine the contents, and recycling removal.

[krispos42]

11. expired coupons and losing lottery tickets.

Often times I just fold up the contents of the "you're pre-approved!" mailing and stuff it all, including the original envelope, into the pre-paid one.

[kentauros]

12. A used teabag.

But make sure it gets moldy first :P

[freshwest]

14. Send them all your junk mail. All of it. Use plenty of tape. Insist they recycle it. But don't...

Forget to thank the poor slob who has the job of going through the mail and sorting through it all. He or she needs a job, just like anyone else. Be kind. Send hugs and kisses and a nice joke. And a note to take you off of their mailing list.

[Sanity Claws]

16. A letter expressing your thoughts

Just tell them how awful you think Citibank is. No threats.
It will get the stuff off your chest and sending the letter will cost Citibank money.

[GoCubsGo]

23. I wouldn't even do that.

Just stick a bunch of junk in it. They'll get the message, and you'll still that time to yourself. And, if you don't include your identity, they'll keep sending them to you. And, you can keep making them spend money. It helps out the Postal Service, too.

[bikebloke]

17. One wee precaution.

If I'm returning their application forms, I always tear off any information about myself (name, address and any bar code). Then unload any other mailbox litter on them.

[GoCubsGo]

25. Great advice. n/t

[HopeHoops]

21. A used condom - used for cleaning scum out of the sink drain or something.

You don't want to get busted for sending bodily fluids through the mail.

[kedrys]

22. Singe the edges of the paper with a lighter

Gives it that turn-of-the-previous-century feel. :P

[canoeist52]

26. 3 x 5 card or piece of blank paper with the word OCCUPY!" in bold letters.

[Hotler]

27. White powder!

:evilgrin: Throw some corn starch or powdered sugar in there.

28. an application to a BofA credit card filled out for Mickey Mouse.
