junk mail

for some bizarre reason i get mailers from lane bryant. you know, the store for "plus size" women. the last time i checked, i wasn't a plus-size. but perhaps size 8 is the new size 14. oh , but wait, recently i did have to buy a size 10 in something (i swear the sizes are shrinking). anyway, the mailers. i really don't want to get these mailers. the company is wasting resources by sending them, and the postmaster or whoever sorts mail probably thinks i'm fat (which totally doesn't matter, but i gotta admit that the thought does cross my mind). i have no idea how i got on the mailing list, as i have never even set foot in that store. i just spent about 10 minutes trying to remove myself from the mailing list - i called a retail store asking them to remove me, but they weren't able to do that so they gave me the customer service phone number (which wasn't toll free, by the way). i tried to find a customer service number on the website, but no luck. i found a few links buried deep within the page about how to remove yourself from the mailing list but that involved logging in to your lane bryant account. no thanks. but just in case i had an online account that i was unaware of, i entered my email address to see if it was in the database. it was not, as i expected. finally i saw a contact form link, and sent them an email saying that i do not wish to receive their mailers. and just for good measure i wrote that i have no idea how i got on the list because i am not fat and neither are any of my friends or family members. and then i found one hundred dollars.
