Couple receives ex-tenant’s misdelivered birthday card and cheque, calling his parents from the info on it to inform them that their son hasn't changed mail address in 4 years, suddenly mailing stops: 'I imagine that the guy got chewed out by his parents'

Receiving your ex-tenant's mail is a real pain in the…mailbox. People barely want their mailboxes overflowing with their own unnecessary ads and letters, let alone those of others. Next thing you know, you're super tired and caught off guard when you're sitting face to face with a $500 speeding fine. But when you look at the letter more closely, you realise it wasn't addressed to you, but your ex-tenant. Jerry was always in a rush…Besides the point. It gets annoying and normally ends up in the front yard trash anyway. 

This couple had been receiving their ex-tenants' mail for the last few years. But they had a daily routine solution: pick it up, trash it down. Easy as pie. Until they noticed something strange about one of his envelopes. They opened it up to find a happy birthday, love mom & dad card and a cheque to go with it! They used the number on the letter to get a hold of his parents, informing them that their son hasn't changed his mail address in the 4 years since they moved in…Now we have a slight inkling that, due to the speed at which they stopped receiving his letters, his parents had a strong word with him about his misdelivered mail!
