    Former housemate hasn't filed a change of address, and stops by to pick up his mail. He was a terrible housemate;

    Cashewkaas The lady we bought our house from was a donating member of A LOT OF charities. The mail just kept on coming. Even for the lady who lived here before her, it just kept on coming. We sent a lot of it back with 'doesn't live here' written all over it. It has mostly stopped now, the occasional item we receive now just goes straight in the bin.

Now when it comes, it goes into the round file.

    Fluffy-Designer I lived in my last house for 8 years and the previous occupant still had his kid's school reports mailed to my house. Like... how do you not pick up on something like that?
