brbpostingIf it works it ain’t stupid
So… This is stupid?
Well 50 cents hasn’t been enough for a domestic stamp since January 2019, so probably not. It’s currently 73 cents.
Those are forever quarters though aren’t they
Dude your mom’s a forever quarter
burgersc12Just tape another quarter to it, or like two dimes and 3 pennies but that seems a bit crazy.
Pff, two years. Used to do that shit all the time when I was a kid. It always worked.
seathruYeah, I’m old too. Setting letters in the mailbox with some change on top for postage wasn’t uncommon.
dual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️One time my uncle sent me a letter and couldn’t remember the address of my place at the time, so he addressed it to, “White house a block away from the corner of [street] in [town, state]” and it made it here.
This was, obviously, well before you could just use Street View or whatever.
“You know, the house next to the one that has that little cunt kid. You know the one. Always leaving his bike on the lawn, and being a real disrespectful little shit if you try to explain it’s gonna get stolen in THIS neighborhood. The house next to that. The white one, not the blue one on the other side.”
Mailman: “Oh. Yeah. I DO know that little fucker. Damn near tripped over his bike when it was covered in snow, and I didn’t know it was there.”
In Bangkok, “street names” are entire city quarters and houses are numbered chronologically by when they were built.
So it isn’t unusual to have 237 be right next to 1550.
238 could be 2 miles away.

Iceland, draw a map on it and the right name and that’s all you really need.
Yep, when we visited most of the houses had little names they would use for their address. Villa Bonita 200m S of xxx
At that point, why not write latitude and longitude and be done with it?
How Google Maps fixed India's street name problem
The postal service is one of those things that’s amazing the fact that half the things arrive at their intended destination knowing what is involved in the logistics of the whole thing.
empireOfLove2As long as the address is specific enough to get through the right distribution center and to the right ending post office… chances are the carriers it ends up with will absolutely figure out where it needs to go.
USPS is amazing
Where is their thin colored line? Real “boys in blue”
Where is their thin colored line?
It’s a thin yellow line exiting directly out of Louis DeJoy’s dick hole
That or you give them every detail they need and they just don’t bother.
Still mad that half my wedding invitations never made it to their ending destination.
I attempted to find the article but search engines are terrible. They mentioned that advertising companies often have a book of mail tests; things they attempted to mail to see if they would be permitted. Some of the examples included:
A sock with an address written on it, partial addresses, wet paper, vague addresses like your example, local names like “sues bar”, tom cruises house, a sandwich in a bag, poster board, flags. They get pretty creative and like a record of what might work for pitch meetings. Generally if it looks plausible, they attempt it.
Put the return address as the address you want to send it to, no stamp needed
Wha…oh my god. How have I never realized this???
Now if you’l excuse me, I have to make a collect call to my parents. My name is Bob Adababyitzaboi.
May work a couple times in town, in the same ZIP Code; may come with free trip to federal penitentiary
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆As a kid, I tried to mail a letter without a stamp by having the return address be the address I wanted to send it and my address as the destination address. They put the letter back in my own mail box, so technically I mailed a letter for free. 😌
BunnyluxGot 'em
I wonder if this works for international mail

Prime_Minister_KeyesMail Fraud? You’re in a lot of trouble, buddy.
CaptainBlagbirdWhere I live, the mail would also be delivered, but the return address would get a request for payment letter by the postal service. At least that’s what happened when my letter was 1g too heavy for the paid format.
21CabbageI could strongly be wrong but I think that one is something you can sort of pull off IIRC.
I mean… if it was enough to cover a stamp and I was the post office worker, I’d be a bro about it.
They’re to give to the boatman.
