Lets record fun things done to the unsuspecting via mail like the time JMBennett received a rotten steak or my relatively tame example posted today of playing with a company/person who MUST respond to my blather.

Comment by Azzaro on February 11, 2017 at 7:25pm: Ficus strangulensis - I am looking forward to seeing the response from Rubbermaid (interesting name!!!). In the dim and distant past I have sent several of such letters (and other tripe).....I must get back into this fun sport.

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on February 11, 2017 at 7:12pm: Woopsie! Sorry about the "IOUMA". Not trying to be funny, maybe today I'm lesdixic. YOB-f

Comment by Bradford on February 11, 2017 at 6:32pm: At least the "unsuspecting" person will have a clue before reading the letter.

Comment by Bradford on February 11, 2017 at 6:23pm: If you do this a few times, you'll find that at least 50% of the time you'll receive coupons for the same or similar products. The fun part is the form letter that was chosen by the oddball who took a job reading letters from customers of a manufacturer's products.

Most of my letters had little of the original complaint addressed specifically in the form letter that accompanied the coupons.

I have zines by two different people who created a body of work comprised of their letters and the responses (or note of a complete lack of response) to various crank letters. GREAT FUN!

Comment by Ruud Janssen on February 11, 2017 at 6:19pm: Funny how you write IOUMA, but it is actually IUOMA.....

Comment by John M. Bennett on February 11, 2017 at 6:10pm: PS - i think the name is fine

Comment by John M. Bennett on February 11, 2017 at 6:09pm: sounds like classic big fun, and yr approach to these consumer evaluations that swarm like gnats, LOTS of gnats in our world, seems excellent.

every time you wipe yr ass, they want you to take a customer satisfaction survey: time to send em some real shit, eh?

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on February 11, 2017 at 6:04pm: Here's what I just printed and will send within the week to amuse[?] some commercial person who must[?] respond to customer complaints no matter how crack-brained said customer sounds! YOB-f
