Pulling an Elvis Presley... / myLot

I got what I think was a Christmas Card to someone at my address that doesn't live here. I kept forgetting to return it. The return address was on just a street over, and I thought that I could just walk there and return it. As it turned out, it was farther down he road than I cared to walk today. I brought the envelope home, wrote "Return to Sender--no such person at this address" on the envelope, and went and stuck it in the mailbox--along with some other things that I wanted to send. Now I'd like to go over to Facebook and tell the people I sent things to that they have something coming.

I get mail for past residents every once in a while, but since I've been here for four years, it's junk mail now, so I just toss it.

When I first moved here my mailbox was crammed with stuff for the last four or five residents of my apartment. Now I get something once in a while.

@xstitcher If I get anything now, it's catalogs. Those go straight to recycle.

On occasion I get letters from persons that come to my home that no longer live in my current home.

It’s been awhile since I have gotten the wrong mail, although I’m pretty sure my mail goes to the wrong people sometimes because it will appear weeks after the date it was postmarked by.
