As someone who rents so much of my mail is from past residents which I have told them do not live here, or local ads (literally several magazines per month) which I can't opt out of cause it's EDDM, that I straight up just stopped collecting it. Any small packages that would have gone in the box go on top of the cluster and any letters I received are stuffed into the box and I pick them out if I happen to notice I'm missing something.
Anyone that really needs my attention would call me or email me shrug
Watch out for jury duty summons.
My address on my license is still my parents house and I haven't lived there permanently for 18 years. I move around a lot (hopefully I can finally stop that this year) so I wasn't going to get a new driver's license every year or two. Whenever I get a summons, I just reply with one of the exclusions ("I live more than 40 miles away", "I don't live in the state anymore", etc...). I've never had to go 😂
Mine made a clerical issue when I updated my address and decided there were two of me once. Only found out because both of me got jury duty. That was a fun one.
I've lived in two other states so far other than the one on my license, but I also haven't driven in those states in those times (other than something like ZipCar or renting a car) that I've lived there. The time I did live in the same state, I lived at least 1.5 hours from that address/county so I could just claim "I'm too far away".
If I've never been summoned for jury duty. Does this mean I don't have any peers?
I got summoned once, but it was from my previous state because I had forgotten to change my residency. So I responded that I'm out of state and promptly changed my license and voter registration. Boom, dodged that one. :)
But seriously, I would actually like to serve on a jury.
