On the average, I receive two envelopes a week with the heading as follows:
"Your personalized address labels are enclosed."
Usually there is a total of 48 labels in each envelope, for a grand total of 96 labels. Yes, 96 labels per week.
If I were to mail four letters a month and attach 95 labels to each letter, I would still have some labels left.
Receiving this many labels is very, very annoying and, in addition, very expensive to the company sending these labels. Plus, the company will not receive any good points from the person receiving the labels since we have established that receiving the labels is very annoying.
So what are we going to do?
To begin with, tell this story to every one of your friends with the recommendation to return the labels to the sender or, better yet, to refuse the envelope. Very soon, you won't receive any labels, which is OK, since nowadays there is a computer in every family that has the capability of printing your own labels.
