Mail carriers are not idiots, they just discard the thing as trash since its obviously not an envelope… Business reply mail will only ever be paper letters, so what you actually want to do is just send whatever it is back to them with useless information or if its an actual envelope you can stuff it with glitter or shred the paper inside, its still technically “improper use” but they won’t know that until its at the destination.
This is not entirely accurate, business reply mail can be parcels as well. Brother and HP ink returns are 2 I can think of off the top of my head. So we see packages with those labels on there all the time. The company will pay the postage automatically through their account (if they’re large enough to do BRM they have an account) and just get the mail delivered. Honestly I don’t know of anyone at the PO that would say something about it, we’d just laugh like “well we’re getting paid for it regardless lol”
Congratulations, you just made a huge mess for some barely-above- minimum wage worker to deal with.
They are going to have to take time to clean up all that glitter or they’ll get written up for keeping a sloppy workspace. But because it’s glitter and got everywhere, it’s gonna take a long time and they are going to miss their performance metrics. That’s a writeup.
Now they are on the chopping block and their kid is starving and wearing rags to school because you thought it’d send a message to mail them glitter, and literally nobody higher than the mailroom boss even knows that it happened. Good work.
I don’t think “minimum wage worker gets penalized for something entirely outside their control and the workers innocent family suffers as a result” is that much of a stretch. Sadly.
Agreed, why not return low level joblistings for the area where the return address is. Add a few sassy stickers you got from temu as a gift and some information on starting a union.
Don’t be an ass to wage slaves, they’re not your enemy, they’re your peers, show them the way instead.
Arise ye pris’ners of starvation
Arise ye wretched of the earth

Maybe it’s fake, but I like to think each and every postal worker knew where it was going and decided to let it be delivered.
Good ol’ malicious compliance.

Well now I just want to do it more.
