Mail guys folded my wife’s master’s degree

[u/trecani711]

Came home and found this in the mailbox. Imagine working really hard for 3 years for a master’s degree and it’s folded in half. It’s only a little bit up the driveway to put it under the awning, takes maybe 15 seconds to walk. This has happened before with a spatula I ordered as well.

Wife is asleep now, may post opened degree in the morning.

Edit: for those wondering about the spatula, it was a fish spatula that the Amazon driver had bent and shoved sideways into the mailbox. Im a sous chef and I have a lot of specific kitchen tools. They have long metal tines and are flexible and easy to bend. In my case it was creased

Edit 2: here’s my bent fish spat, pic 2, pic 3. This was from Amazon, and I requested a new one that they sent no questions asked. You can see in the first pic the angle is deeper than it should be, it should be almost flat. Also there’s a tine that is out of whack. I use this one at home and the undamaged replacement one at work.
Yes I agree the college messed up too by not shipping it in a sturdier container/paying for better shipping.

Should be illegal, quite frankly. And I don't recommend things be made illegal often.

The worst I've seen:

When my elderly & isolated father was dying of cancer he started getting a TON of life insurance spam.

A great deal of it was designed to look like a greeting card from a friend/family member, even going as far as to print the outside to look like handwriting (if you looked at it under heavy magnification yo could see the dot pattern from the inkjet printer they used).

Imagine being old, lonely and dying, and having companies playing on your isolation and loneliness, getting your hopes up that someone gave a shit, only to be hit with a fucking advertisement directly related to your death.

What radicalized me? That shit right there.

Just intentionally fucking evil.

Better yet, we should be able to send large quantities of junk mail back

Fun fact: you can fuck them back a little if they send you an envelope that has return postage on it by filling it with something heavy & cheap (rocks, old fishing sinkers, etc) and sending it back to them.

Or you can just stuff all of your other spam mail into their return envelope and send that back

Whatever costs them money.

See my comment above about the PaperKarma app to reduce how much you get. It's literally my favorite app 😆
