Pet Peeves

• The magazine deal that makes it sound like you surely won, but all you're going to do is spend your money on magazines you don't want. Ever notice how the Yes envelope has priority markings and is Red, and the No envelope is black and goes to a different zip code? Doesn't that make you think there is a BIG DEAD LETTER office for folks who didn't by something?
• The offer from the Video, Audio, DVD, Club (or other club of your choice) which sends you mailings saying how they appreciate your being a good customer and have a special reward, or gift for you. On the face it looks like you are going to get one of what ever it is they have, for free - well, except for some small change to cover postage and handling. BUT!  Read on! There in the small print: "Examine for ten days, and return and owe nothing. Keep and become a subscriber, receiving "x" approximately "X" times a month. What happened to the appreciation gift? IT'S A RIP OFF FOLKS! A RUSE TO GET MORE OF YOUR MONEY. (The last one I received I sent it to the District Attorney for review of possible fraudulent business practices.)
