I received a empty envelope in the mail?

So I received a letter with my name on it, I open it up and it is junk mail. Just some letter about someone wanting money so I go to throw it in the trash. Instead of throwing it in the trash though I put it in the blue box where you place letters and mail that you want mailed. So then the next day I check the mail again and I notice I get a envelope with nothing in it! It is just a empty envelope. Well you would think I would realize then what I did the day before, but no I do the exact same thing again. I place the empty envelope in the blue mailbox where the outgoing mail goes! So I am still not catching on to what I did. I don't even think twice about it. Then later on that day or the next day my mother tells me to mail a letter. Then when she tells me this I realize what I did. I haven't got to check the mail since that day to see if the empty envelope is in their yet. I think I may have even folded it up like it was trash. I still can't believe I did this. It's so funny.

this is funny, at least you cottoned on inthe end. My husband wanted to check the post as he thought the post had been playing up a bit so he posted to himself a empty envelope, he did three over the course of the week. They all came back to us ok. Because we live in a samll place we know the post lady and she asked me about one of them saying did you know it was empty, so I told her what we were doing and that we weren't checking up on her but just the post in general as we thought there was a funny postbox in town. She was fine about it and said she would keep an eye on it

Did you ever hear anything else about it? I thought the funny thing was that not only was this envelope empty it was open because I opened it. I wonder what the mail man or mail lady thought? I don't really care, I just wonder what they thought.

Yes that is very funny indeed! We all do things like that every now and then. Humans make mistakes all the time! Some mistakes are greater than others but we all do make mistakes. I've done some pretty dumb things in my life. But hey that's just how it goes. I love this site by the way!

Yes we do, I think the important thing is not to take it too serious and to try and laugh about it. We all do make mistakes at one time in our lifetimes and probably more than once. I love this site also.

Letters - You need to be careful with strange letters with all the anthrax crap going around.
You need to be careful with strange letters with all the anthrax crap going around. Your mother could be asked to slip a note into the next to let you know from whom it came.

This is funny story. It's ridiculous some of the things we do in life.
