We bought this house 3 years ago from a family that had lived here for probably 10-15 years, raising their kids, etc.
Today, in the mail, I receive yet another letter for the previous owners. It's not one of those advertisements that say "or current resident." It's a hand-addressed card.
Their daughter got married last summer. We received at least *8* cards for that child, because, apparently, the sender didn't check the return address.
We've gotten letters from attorneys for these folks. More than one atty, with more than one business that the former owners apparently owned. IRS stuff addressed to them. Now, wouldn't you think that the IRS would KNOW they'd moved after they filed their taxes with their new address?
One letter arrived last week, addressed to one of the daughters, with no return address. It was clearly from one of her teeny-bopper friends, based on the handwriting, etc. That one I took to a neighbor who sees the family on ocassion.
For about 6-12 months, I would dutifully write "please forward to 123 Alphabet Street" and put it back in the mail. But, really, *3* years?! I'm just done. They couldn't be bothered to fill out the little card at the PO like the rest of the adult world.....I'm not bothering to play nice anymore. I write "not at this address" on the front and put it right back in the mailbox. But for some dumb reason this just irritates the carp out of me!
Probably because they did a bunch of other "no common sense" things, and from the mail I'm getting, did some shady things with their businesses too. My home shows their lack of forethought all over the place, so maybe that's why it bugs me so much? Dunno, but it's driving me CRAZY!!!!
