Almost mailed a bill without putting the address on the envelope

I don't know why I did that, but I was in a hurtty to get it to the mailbox, and I put the company name and the post office box, but not the city and state.
It is a good thing that I caught it, before I went out to the mailbox. I was putting a stamp on it when I realized that the address wasn't complete.
I told myslelf, that it was stupid to try to mail it without the city and state on it, as they wouldn't take it and leave it, and it would be an extra day that it would miss getting there.
Have any of you ever done that before, or am I the only one? I guess my mind hasn't been where it should be lately, and not sure why either.
Maybe I should go to bed, cover up, and stay there until tomorrow. 
I know that things will be okay though, as I am thinking while here at least.
I hope none of you ever do this, but if you do, at least I hope you catch it before you try to mail it.

Boy, it sure does. I still don't know why I didn't get the address on it when I was writing on the envelope. I got most of it, and then forgot the city, state, and zipcode. I guess my mind wasn't where it was supposed to be, but now my mind is clear and that won't happen again.

@LadyDuck It is hard to when you move away to a different place, as the old one seems to stick with you, and that could be the reason why. I don't feel bad that I almost mailed it without writing the complete address, as others seem to be forgetting stamps, which I have never done, or writing the wrong adresses altogether.

You were very lucky on that. When I addressed it, I had put the company name and the P.O. box, and not city, state, or zipcode. I know they would have never tried to mail it, as it could have ended up anywhere, and besides, they would have a hard time figuring out exactly where it shoud go. I am glad I caught it before I took it out to the mailbox.

@allknowing That is probably why since your husband worked for a well know company. It does help to have someone on the inside help you out when you need it. It is a good thing though that you letter got delivered.

@rosekiss My husband was working for a wellknown company. Perhaps that with some more information there could have helped. Anyway the letter was delivered (lol)

That can happen, as I think it has happened to me a few times too. I had to unseal it too, and of course, I ruined the seal, so I had to put tape on it close it. I don't get many with windows in them, but when I do, I have to be so careful to make sure the check is behind the statement.

I've done a lot of crazy things, but that isn't one of them. I have a hard time thinking while I'm doing something - such as thinking and driving. I need to know where I'm going and how to get there BEFORE I get in the car. It's a good thing my younger son is with me on some occasions as I know where I'm supposed to go but my autopilot will try to go in a completely different direction

I won't drive anywhee that I am not familiar with, unless I use my gps. It is a real blessing to have it, as without it, I would end up in timbuktu someplace. It always gets me where I want to do, and so I use it when I am going to go somewhrre that I am not familiar with.

@just4him I would be lost without my gps as there have been times I didn't use it as I thought I knew where I was going, and I would end up getting really lost. It is amazing how it talks to me and sends me in the right direction I need to go, and I have never had any problems getting where I wanted to go.

Yes, I think you are right, as I wanted to get it into the mail, and almost forgot the stamp. I did catch it before it got there though, so it was never mailed without a stamp.

@birjudanak I am just glad that before I went out to the mailbox, that I put the stamp on it. I caught it in time, and that is a good thing.

Nope I never done that before but I don't mail any payments anymore. I do all my payments online now it's easier for me that way.

I do that too, but these are different, and I won't go into it as to why, but they can only be mailed so I put them on the table and take care of them when I get them.

@infatuatedbby I hope not either. I guess lately, I have been so forgetful about things. Goes to show I am getting older, and getting more forgetful. Not that I want to get old, but it happens to al of us.

Glad you noticed before you posted it!
My problem with letters is that they end up staying in my bag for days, weeks, even months, because I get them ready, take them out with me, and then NEVER remember to post them 1 person likes this

I have done that too, a few times, and it was so frustrating. Now, when I pay, I make sure that the address is showing through the window. i don't get a lot of bills with envelopse like that, but when I do, I try to make sure I do it right.

I almost forgot to put a stamp on one envelope once. Luckily I noticed it before I got to the mailbox.

I caught mine too, as I was getting ready to go out the door to the mail box, and I ealized that I had forgot the stamp, so I went and put the samp on, and then took to the mail box. I am always doing crazy things, but at least I have been able to redeem myself.

I did this once. Luckily, I always put my return address on any envelope even before I write the address, so I did get the envelope returned to me and corrected the problem. I'm glad you discovered your mistake before mailing the bill.

I am too, as it would have come back to me, but I needed to get it out right away, and didn't want to take an extra day to get there. It it weren't for the fact I needed to put a stamp on it, I probably would have forgot to put the address on it.

I have a certain way I do the bills that I mail so I do get that address on there. I check everything before I put a stamp on it.

I am glad I noticed it when I was putting a stamp on it. That is unusual for me too, as I normally put it on right away, but I think I was thinking about other things and didn't have my mind where it should be. I will make sure that it never happens again.

One time I mixed up my water bill and tax bill and sent them to the opposite address. We all do crazy things at times

Now that is funny. At least you didn't forget to put the addresses on. I can imagine what they thought when each of them got the other one's bills. I will admit that i have never done that before, but there is a first time for everything.

This was the very first time for me, and it shouldn't have happened as I knew what I needed to put on the envelope, but I lost my train of thought and what I was doing, and didn't catch it right away, but at least I caught it before i put it in the mailbox.
