funny because true - Lemmy.world

I’m the same way with my mail.

I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.

If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).

Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox. Bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.

Exceptions:

  • Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
  • For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.
  • I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.

    That seems dangerously negligent.

    Welfare checks have been conducted over less.

    When it's too cold out to wanna walk all the way up there, I've gone for 3-4 months at a stretch. All I ever get is garbage anyway, so it's only ever mattered twice, and one of those was an expected package.

    No one's ever called me a welfare check :(

    I’m in the military lol. The government definitely knows I’m alive.
    I’ve had a P.O. box for years because I don’t want to disclose my home address when I register domains. Maybe I should check it one of these days…
    Arthur Dent kinda stuff is going to happen to him. Yellow…
