If you get junk mail with a return envelope, it's automatically paid by whoever sent it, so you can mail back whatever you want, like vulgar imagery or blank forms

Those are typically paid by weight. Several spammers have gotten envelopes full of gravel because of me.

It's paid by weight and thickness so fill it with trash like pieces of cardboard and sand.

Sand sounds a bit mean. Postal service is not our enemy.

They show me nothing but naked hostility. The feeling is mutual.

The post office got wise to that. Changed their regulations so that business reply mail cannot be used as a shipping label.

Fuck, I'm gonna start doing this. I've tried to get the postal service to return to sender, but they never do.
