I don’t know how well it would work in practice, but every time I see something like this, the darker, more childish part of my brain wants me to send a human shit to them in the post, with a note saying “Thank you for subscribing to Post-me-a-poo (Daily)!

Every week I used to get spammy, trashy letters from a credit card firm. I had no desire to have one of their 40% APR cards. 52 letters a year. Got a bit sick of it in the end and noticed prepaid envelopes in there so started filling them with prawns and banana peel. The envelope was the type that takes over a week in the UK mail, so by the time they got them back they were rancid. After a while the letters stopped dont know if it was due to my effort or not.
Hahahaha. I fully laughed out loud. That’s brilliant. Prawns is full on evil, but they deserve it. Your act of petty vengeance has probably made my day. Thanks! :)
Sadly you’re probably right - same as shouting at a company over the phone, it’s most likely some poor minimum wage worker actually dealing with it all.
So I guess the correct thing to do is to track down the personal home address of the boss.
I have actually threatened this before to some shitty scam company that kept phoning me during work hours - I never went through with it in the end though, because I’m a massive coward and I’m frightened of negative consequences.
But in a parallel universe, I stuck it to them bastards :)

TB I kind of regret it a bit. I probably subjected the postman and low paid staff to it more than the people responsible.

Just send them invoices for your time to their AP department to see how tight their payment controls are…
I’d be surprised if these places are any good with paying their actual invoices, let alone fake ones

Excellent idea though I imagine you might get in trouble for sending biohazards by post!
