I am going through a gigantic stack of mail (shut up; I don't have to be an adult all the time) and you know what I absolutely hate?:

Since my purchasing the house is public record, everyone and their father's father's father's nephew's sister's former roommate knows I just took out a mortgage. They know with what bank. I have already torn up 4 pieces of mail which have MY BANK'S NAME on the front of the envelope and say URGENT! REPLY REQUIRED! and yet when I open them they are ads for bullshitty stuff I don't need, disguised as official mail from my bank.

One was trying to sell me a copy of my title - yes, a copy of the title that I fucking own because I bought the goddamn house. One was trying to sell me some kind of extra insurance. One I think was a title insurance policy.

It's all toxic garbage sniping tricksy bullshit that should seriously not be allowed to waste the goddamned paper that it's on.


[edit] also -- some fucking jackass horrible ad company actually got my address wrong, so the envelope says Sev Dragomire, xxx1 [Feymarch] instead of xxx2 [Feymarch]; my poor neighbors are getting all my garbage trash mail and I'm sure they think I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't know her own address but, sorry, that wasn't me, that was some goddamn toxic garbage advertising agency that jumped the gun way too fast and all the companies that bought the address from their dumb asses. Rest assured I am tearing up all mail sent to xxx1 Feymarch, on principle.

I've only really used them for catalogs, but: https://www.catalogchoice.org/

We got a ton of stuff when we moved and we're RENTING but it's a HOUSE so clearly we want the American Dream, bring on the junk mail (though to be fair, we do have a white picket fence and one of our cars is a Chevy--oh, wait, no, it's a Pontiac, nm).

My husband used this service to stop the mortgage-related spam after he bought our place, and it was really effective.

I've heard title insurance can be useful if you've bought a foreclosure or some other property with a slightly murky history. The wiki article is pretty interesting.

In all that mail, has Snakey arrived yet?! The other Snakey dispatched to the US has, so I hope he is safe and well...

Yay! I'm glad it (? he? she?) arrived safely -- I'd love to see some pictures of it in its new home.

I'm ALMOST impressed they managed to top the obnoxious bullshit disguised-as-official mailings you get when you buy a car. Almost.
