a respectable job

When I get credit cards offers in the mail, I return the application form in its prepaid return envelope with a note to the employee who opens the mail: Watch the movie, Maxed Out, and get yourself a respectable job.
Chuck calls credit cards "time bombs, waiting for us to screw up."

I always send the prepaid envelope back, stuffed with newspaper. I can usually get about 12 ounces in there (with a bit of tape on the flap). They are forced to pay the first class postage.

If every person in the U.S. did that, the number of unsolicited credit card offers would plummet.

I didn't know the part about the extra postage, left nut. Good thinking.
