I'm going to start saving my junk mail that has prepaid return envelopes. When I'm expecting a package, I'll put one of those envelopes, stuffed with more junk mail that doesn't have my name on it, in my mailbox. This serves two purposes. Hopefully, it will annoy the companies that sent the junk mail as much as receiving their junk mail annoys me, and more importantly, I can put the flag up on my mailbox so that I know when my package is there. It might also help to boost the postal service's bottom line a little. I first saw this idea years ago (Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes maybe?) but just never did it.
Sorry if this has been discussed before. It just occurred to me and seems like such a brilliant idea that I had to share it
