Just a guy who occasionally has some time on his hands. I used to live in Denver and am too lazy to figure out how to change the URL.

Does stuffing a credit card offer back into the envelope with nothing filled out (and sending it back) make me an asshole?
Probably. Most people would just throw these unsolicited credit card offers in the trash or recycling bin. I'm not most people. Someone has to tell these companies what a shitty idea direct mail is for credit cards. I've decided to carry that torch by sending this shit back in their prepaid envelope (which they have to pay for) and someone has to open the envelope and say "What the fuck?" while going through the unfilled out form, the envelope that all these forms were sent in, and maaaaaybe a tissue I blew my nose in.
Look, direct mail works for some customers. Mainly those who don't use/trust the internet and respond to shit like "0% APR for 21 months on your balance transfer" when it's printed on a fucking envelope. Those people tend to be older. Credit card companies have a shitload of data, so they have to know that I'm in my 30's and probably have all the porn sites I've browsed in the last 15 years sorted and indexed. I am not the audience for your fucking direct mail, but I'll gladly take the time to stuff the envelope and send it back to you to break the monotony of someone's day.
