# O_O
Best one I ever got was from a company that had turned me down before, offering me a free man's watch if I took out their card. I wrote 'I'm a girl. What the hell would I want with a cheap and tacky man's watch? Write to me again and I'll sue you out of business' on the application form and sent it back in their pre-paid envelope. I've never heard from them again.

# Pre-paid envelopes
are for taping to bricks before posting.

Or old washing machines or whatever. They have to pay for the weight of the mail as well as the size nowadays.

that makes you look like a miserable cunt?

I thought of doing the same, but didn't for the same reason

edit: there was an occasion, I was on my drive when the free paper delivery bot turned up and I asked him to put it straight into the recycling box, which was open next to him.

He did!

what a dick

# Still get all those 'To Occupant' ones
I feel like putting them back in the post marked 'not known at this address'

When I get credit card application forms I like to see how much other stuff i can fit in their prepaid envelopes. Usually as much newspaper as i can (usually requires sellotape to close). But I have while eating my breakfast, filled one with muesli and another with a perfectly nibbled piece of toast. I should probably get out more.

# You can quite legitimately
just tape the pre-paid envelope to a parcel.

I imagine them opening up the envelope full of muesli and think its some sort of lumpy ricin
