lol. I saw that on Reddit. Some people were trying to argue there are good landlords too though.

Anyone have any experience with landlords repeatedly opening their mail? I live in the bottom floor of a house thatâs been converted to an apartment, landlords live in the upper two floors. We have the same address (which I thought a little odd when moving in) but Iâm the only tenant and they just put my mail in a mailbox that is outside my apt but inside the building. Iâve been here for several years and back in July 2019 I noticed several Amazon packages of mine had been opened before being placed in my box. This happened several different times and I was shocked it happened more than once. I emailed them politely reminding them to check the labels because I obviously get packages sent here too. Since that email in 2019 theyâve probably opened packages of mine on 6-8 different occasions, only one of them I can remember containing any kind of apology/explanation note. It was something like âSorry this happened again AAARRRGGHH!â
Now theyâve really been on a tear (sorry) and have opened the last 3 Amazon packages Iâve had delivered (8/29, 9/27, and today 10/12). They didnât leave any notes, didnât bother texting or emailing me about it, nothing. I just find my packages sitting in my mailbox, opened with the contents in the package. I really donât know what to do about this now. Iâve asked them, in writing, to stop this and that didnât work. The packages show up opened and they donât even acknowledge it. Iâm not crazy here am I? I consider it a gigantic breach of privacy to open someone elseâs mail; to do it so frequently after being asked not to is some weird compulsion, malicious, incredibly disrespectful, or what I donât even know anymore. They donât seem like bad people (heâs in his 60s, sheâs probably about 50, professionals, have their first new grandkid) and itâs kind of hard for me to think theyâre doing this on purpose but fucking A at some point you have to kind of give up on giving them that credit.
Anyway I had to rant and I have no clue what to do. Should I demand they get me a PO Box or UPS box since theyâve shown they canât keep my mail secure?

There are so many people who never look at the label and just open it; I get my mail opened once in awhile because it was put in the wrong box. (I always look before opening mail but that makes me weird) They obviously are just going to keep doing it. If you have to get your own box, thatâs what youâre gonna have to do.

Itâs not a mistake. They are deliberately spying on you. Document each time and take a pic of the opened mail. Also keep a record of every email and conversation youâve had with them about this. Even tho itâs their house, opening your mail is illegal and if you havenât already done so, Iâd remind them of that fact
Of course if youâre a prankster like me, I might have a friend from across country send me closeup pictures of their license plates, or books on living on the lamb and how to maintain a fake identity

Get your Amazon stuff delivered to a drop box in town someplace. The package thieves are pretty rampant in my neighborhood so I stopped taking the chance of not hearing the delivery and have them delivered to a drop box a couple of miles from where I live.

Iâve accidentally opened a neighborâs package that was delivered to my house because I didnât read the mailing label, but that was once. If I had someone else living in my house, I would certainly check who the package is addressed to, especially if I wasnât expecting anything. Hell, I still check if Iâm not expecting anything, just to see who the hell ordered something without me knowing.
I wouldnât necessarily attribute malice to the situation, but it is definitely odd.
You could order a printed copy of goatse to better get the message across.

Please order this? Or put it on your Amazon wishlist so someone can buy it for you. (Not you fb but sirosis)
Or share with them some light, comedy classics:
F peopleâs park, f nimbys. More student housing!
this seems like a real weird conception of reality, thereâs sort of this tacit assumption that âbillionairesâ are just these passive resources we can harvest and then use to achieve social outcomes, which is 100% the opposite of reality, the billionaires ARE the âunqualified political activistsâ. Theyâre driving the car.
