Living once again in the house I grew up in, I occasionally get mail in Dad's name. He passed away in 2010. I've even gotten mail in Mom's name a few times, and she passed away in 1989! One day I think I got mail for both of them, lol. And my brother's name sneaks into the mix since we co-own the house, but he hasn't lived here since, um, 1971?

But today takes the cake. This piece of mail was trying to sell romantic jewelry.

No.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, marketers. Why you so stupid and callous???

I lived in a house I inherited from my grandparents for six years. I remember trying to get a couple of hospital marketing departments to take their names off mailing lists BECAUSE THEY WERE DEAD. It was a futile effort. It really made me cynical. They just didn't care.

*shudders*

My mum answered a cold call from a double glazing company. She said she wasn't interested. They said, "But your husband said he was very interested when we spoke to him yesterday." He'd been dead for six months ...
