Stupid Credit Card Applications

Ever since David opened an account at Chase Bank he's been getting about 3-6 credit card applications a week. Most of them are from the institution itself, but he's also been getting them from other companies as well. I used to get these all the time, not really sure what I did to make them stop.
Thinking back, it might have been moving around the country and my junk mail not really following me, but it could have also been the Credit-Card Law Obama signed into law two years ago. Who knows, really.

Well, since I am a crazy person who has to shred the mail each week, I was fed up with all the junk that comes with it and all the other junk mail we get. I reverted back to when I had time and tore off all of the personal information from the letters and took the applications out (shredded them). Then I took the pre-paid envelope that comes with the application and stuffed it with whatever I could. The actual envelope we got the application in, the grocery store ads, the neighborhood news letter, the alumni mail we get from the previous tenants. Anything. 

I know, I know... I wasted my time. But I figure if there are enough crazy people like me out there, the costs of these mailers coming back to them with garbage might outweigh the costs of sending them to people and we could save paper and other resources required to transport all this crap. Plus, I won't have to waist time, energy (both personal and electricity) shredding the damn things.

I'm probably the only crazy person doing this, but I figure if I can cost these giant corporations even a few cents, it makes me happy.
