If it works it ain’t stupid
So… This is stupid?
Well 50 cents hasn’t been enough for a domestic stamp since January 2019, so probably not. It’s currently 73 cents.
Those are forever quarters though aren’t they
Dude your mom’s a forever quarter
Just tape another quarter to it, or like two dimes and 3 pennies but that seems a bit crazy.
I havent seen it in years because of forever stamps and digital postage, but people used to actually do this to make up for a few cents postage for a heavy letter, et c. My mom is notoriously cheap though, so maybe it is just us.
When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.
When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)
I could have sworn this was a thing.
I remember it as a kid, but they don't allow it anymore. It fucks with high-speed sorters
That makes sense.
