"Return to Sender"

Part of my job is to "Nixie" entities. Basically, we send out a letter that has confidential, important information, so it is marked "Return to Sender". When we get them back, it is called a "Nixie" and someone must go through and scan them in so we know not to send anymore letters for that person to that address.

It is amazing what some of these letters have written on them. Whenever I've gotten something like this in the mail, I write "return" or "return to sender" so the mailman knows to take it out of my mailbox. Apparently these people missed the memo.

Here are some of the more ridiculous examples:

"Please return to sender. This person, who we've never hear of, doesn't live here and has never lived here. We've sent your first letter back last week."

"This person has not lived here in over SIX YEARS - please fix your records"
^ the above was highlighted in pink, for emphasis I imagine

"He doesn't live here, but he's always get'n mail here?! Thank you."

"No such person"

and finally...

"WTF?"

I promise that all of these are direct quotes (minus names and address people wrote in some to show that they knew where the person lived). Spell'n and all.

So, anyway, maybe next time I'll write something entertaining on the envelope if I'm returning it. At least the mailman will get a kick out of it. And maybe some other co-op somewhere will too.
