I'd love for that one to just go away. It's annoying to pick up the mail and just drop everything into the garbage. I actually wish I could unsubscribe from USPS ala that Seinfeld episode

The worst part about the USPS is that it occasionally contains incredibly important correspondence. So you can't just bin the whole thing, instead you have to sort through a pile of garbage on the 1% chance something critical is in there.

I havent received anything I would consider critical in the last couple years.

I wish I could pay someone to do this for me. I hate getting the mail.

There were services that recieve and scan your mail, I suspect they still exist. I used one about a decade ago. Some po boxes also offer the feature. You still need to pay to fwd things you need in hard copy or pick them up. Grreat while traveling.
