Tacky Tacky Tacky

I got a letter in the mail this weekend. It had a PRESORTED STANDARD stamp on it, cream paper, and the envelope lip (?) had the ragged edges. My name was in cursive. Hmmm. On the back the return addy was in cursive, but no name, and came from Georgia. Hmmm.
Curiously, I opened it up. An invitation. My mind is wondering, who do I know in Atlanta, Georgia? I pulled out the invitation, thinking its an over priced Christmas card, or perhaps a graduation announcement. The card opens like two doors to revel the message.

Cingular Wireless
&
AT&T Wireless
Invite you and everyone in our family
To share in the joy of our coming together.

YUCH! I get a wedding invitation for my cell phone service?? Do these marketing reps know no couth? This is what my overpriced, "ooops, dropped another call" provider spend$ it$ money on? What is this world coming to??

Ya opened it didn't ya? Then it worked. If it was AT&T or whatever on the outside, would you have?

Similar thing happened to me ... I got this postcard the other day. Beautiful photo of a lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Somehow it seemed like someplace I've been, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Figured whoever sent it to me would tell me where it was. So I turned it over to see who sent it ... some realtor I never heard of.

Oh well ... it is a nice picture.

I received the same announcement. I figured as much money as they spent, they'd want to hear from me so I called Customer Service to thank them for keeping me in the loop. I think I confused them, but if a few million of us call, they'll figure it out.

Guess I'm still waiting for mine. I wonder where they're registered at -- Nextel??

That reminds me of when two local grocery stores, Albertsons and Luckys, merged a while ago... they decorated the aisles with wedding decorations, and one day when I was there they had a limo all decorated for a wedding, parked in front all day long, with a sign on the back for the two stores...

How ridiculous!!

Anything that says "Presort Standard" goes in the trash unopened unless it's from a credit card company then it goes through the shredder unopened. If they can't bother to pay first class postage I'm not going to bother to read it

I Think its pleasantly funny... its when the keep it up and give you ALL different kinds of stuff is when it gets annoying.

I for one enjoy these things. The way I figure it, since they went to all that trouble and expense to send me a postage pre-paid return envelope the least I could do is send it back to them. I just take all of the stuffing out of one and insert it (minus anything with my name on it) into another and send it off. I would love to be a fly on the wall when they receive it. :devil_2:
