    USPS got so pissed at me for just leaving my junk mail in the box. I told them over and over I didn’t need trash delivered to my place. In the end, I just stopped all USPS deliveries. I had nothing of importance coming in through the mail.

      Postal Employee: “May I help you?”

      Kramer: “Yeah, I’d like to cancel my mail.”

      Postal Employee: “Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?”

      Kramer: “Oh, no, no. I don’t think you get me. I want out, permanently.”

      Lol. I just stick it back into the outgoing mail slot if they dont listen to me. My box is clearly marked with 'no junk mail’s signage.

      I tried to stop all deliveries and they said I could not. There’s even a criminal penalty for removing your own mailbox

      There is no reason to ever mail me anything. When I order a package I have it delivered to a business

        It wasn’t too long ago that I did it. Maybe 8-10 years ago. I realized nothing I needed came in the mail, so I just stopped checking. At one point the postman literally just took all the junk mail and dumped it on my front step. I raised holy hell with the post office about littering, after jamming it all back into the outgoing mail. I think the way the postmaster did it, instead of dealing with my assholeness, was just setting my residence to unoccupied in or something along those lines. Spam, of all sorts (aside from Spam musubi) is just a fucking drag. Like all marketing and advertising.
