Pet peeve #298

Duplicate mailings.

Really, companies, really? You can't buy software that cross references the people on your mailing list with their addresses to determine when multiple mailings are being sent to the same address? It's not enough that you're doing your best to destroy our planet by producing massive quantities of printed materials that don't garner you any business from me, you then send copies of the same thing to three different people - Mr. D. G., Mrs. C. G., and my personal favorite, Current Resident - at the same household. Or maybe you think that the onus is on me to recycle the extra copies I receive. So now, if that second or third copy of the same dang catalog hits the trash instead of the recycling bin, I'm the one responsible for global warming? Well, screw you, companies.
