A parcel was just delivered with this address label:
Mr. <snoball's real name><snoball's real name><snoball's real name><snoball's home address>UK <snoball's real name><snoball's postcode>
I can't help reading it out like a football crowd chant.

Everytime this place sends me some shit, they add another <snoball's real name>.

At my work, we often receive mailshot letters for several members of staff from a company who obviously have a large database with several staff members on it. I particularly like when we receive letters addressed to "Mr <former member of staff> - left". Would it not be easier to just delete them from the database? Or is "- left" not obvious enough for the label-sticking drone to discard that from the mailshot?

Mr Veg got a free magazine subscription for something he bought, and when he filled out the address form he was feeling silly so he wrote C1@y Clappy instead of C1@y (last name)
So now every month we get a magazine addressed to C1@y Clappy and it cracks me up every single time

"HEY DOUCHEBAGS NOT EVEN CLOSE"
Well it's almost understandable, because apparently they sent it to THE OTHER YOU.

C'mon, wouldn't you write that on a package if it came to you instead of some guy with a different name, in a different city?! You totally would, and it would be funny.

I process plenty of returns from illiterates and morons at work; this week I've already gotten one addressed to "Sirius Puzzels" in "Darlin" NJ.

About 10 years ago my then-flatmate was working for the local library, he realized that in the library database you could add a title in front of the person's name, which was printed to all the automatic mail the library sent. So for a while we used to get letters from the library addressed to "Baron Tu0mas A1h0", and "Sir MY FLATMATE'S NAME", and "Professor MY OTHER FLATMATE'S NAME". I wonder if the mailman found them funny, considering that Finland hasn't had nobility titles since 1917.
