My elderly neighbor talks to the mail man every afternoon while he puts mail in our box. She then informs everyone when they have mail, and if it looks important. It's harmless, but it is annoying. I'd like to teach her a little lesson about "minding your own business".
I'm thinking of sending myself mail, but coming up with creative "From" businesses, like "Bondage International. Membership Application Enclosed"(and use a pair of cuffs as a logo), or Fertility Sperm Bank Donation Request. We don't get much mail delivered to that box since we have a PO box in the main office, but every once in a while, something comes through that she feels she needs to tell me about. Maybe this will break her habit.
I'm in need of more ideas because I plan on doing this for at least a month or two. I figure if she has nothing better to do than glance at my mail, I'd give her something to look at.
Any Suggestions???

I socialize with her all the time!! She has friends that come over and visit, she visits other neighbors, and she goes grocery shopping once a week. She gets plenty of social interaction!!!
Oh, and as to rumors, I could care less if the neighborhood has nothing to talk about other than me. Been that route, and I didn't care then, either.

Faery- I won't give you a thumbs down. In fact, you have a point! But I have talked to her after the second time she came over to tell me I had a certified letter in my box, and all that was in there was coupons. She's lived here for 38 years, while we've only been here a year.

If "it's harmless" what's the big deal? Maybe chatting with the mailman is the only social interaction this old lady has in in her life. And maybe telling you that you have mail is her way of trying to interact with you, too. Go ahead and give me a thumbs down, but I think you need to try to talk to her if it bothers you enough to post a question here.

Think of a prized posession of hers and write one of those ransom notes (where u cut out different letters from magazines) and write if you dont stop going through people's mail... say goodbye to your "plant/dog/cane/)"
lol..

lmao! those are good ideas. i feel kind of bad though. the poor thing obviously has nothing else to do. my imagination isn't as good as it used to be. i can't think of anything else. oh wait, how about swingers anonymous? you know, this could backfire too. so be careful what you set up. i'd hate to find out that the neighborhood got a lynch mob together.

Go for swinger club aplications, followed by an adult mail order magazine then even more swinger club letters...
That'd be fun

See the thing is that the elderly really dont have anyone to talk to, and little stuff like that makes their day. Let her be. You'll be old one day, so put yourself in her shoes.

Just ask her what she got in her mail that day.
Otherwise be careful lest she spread rumours.
