I have a much better ways with dealing with both:

Snail Mail:
If junk snail mail it immediately goes into a trash can,
Most times, if I am in a bad mood I will put junk mail in their return envelope and mail it back to them..

Phone calls:
They can listen to what I listen to. Simply place the phone receiver close to the radio or TV. Then they can listen to Rush, Sean or maybe even Judge Judy

Main thing is to keep them wasting their money.......

Call me dubious.....then add me to your do not call list.

Local business & supermarket fliers: All mailings must be identified, by postal regulations. Each lose-leaf bundle of fliers, by postal regulations, must be delivered at the same time as an address card. Locate this address card; the cards usually have an advertisement and a photograph of a missing child. Call directory assistance to get the phone number of the sender, and call to get off the list:

this won't work. these fliers are not addressed, everyone gets one...unless of coarse yo have a lazy mailman

Um, can we, as easily, get our enemies' names ONTO these lists? :)

Get this one...Last night when I came home from my evening out, there was a message on my answering machine asking for me, by name. They said they were from the ATM fraud division of Union Bank (My bank) and they were investigating unusual activity on my ATM card. They gave an 800 number to call back. Right away I was suspicious, as the guy left a first name and an extension number. When I called back I pushed the extension number (at 11:00PM) and this guy answered by name! He asked me for my ATM number right off the bat. I told him I knew this was bull and I was going to call the police. I went ahead and called my bank and as I suspected this was a scam. I was so pissed off. More pissed off because they asked for me by name.

Hey, I actually wouldn't mind hearing from Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes but they never send me any entries probably because I haven't ordered anything in well over a decade.

Another thing I hate is those effing inconvenient "convenience checks" I get every month from various banks/credit cards. I've ALREADY GOT A CHECKBOOK, you morons! You can't just throw them out since they are useable. When I have the time, I am going to figure out how to stop those.

BTW, I've always liked the town of Effingham (Illinois?). Lovely name. Is that what you say when you return something to the Honey Baked store? "This Effingham tastes terrible!"

For unwanted phone calls I usually just slip the Rolling Stones "Hey You Get Off My Cloud" into the stereo and let 'er rip.

You guys are looking at this all wrong. Embrace the junk snail mail!

Think about it... what better way to heat your house this winter than to get on multiple mailing lists and have all those nice BTUs delivered to your mailbox at no cost to you! Simply convert your wood burning fireplace insert to burn paper and keep warm all winter... tell the gas company where to go... save money.
