If you fill out the form they'll send you an actual letter straight away saying "this form has been filled out, is this you? are you sure?" so that you can't actually really just start sending people's mail all over the place.
They also won't tell you where the new address is just in case someone is moving out of a bad/abusive relationship so you can get your mail forwarded rather safely.

don't say anything, just remove and block him.
I would really like to know what it is about me that seems to attract these kind of people - this is the third one this year!

If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that the percentage of dipshits in the population far exceeds the number you'd think could be supported.
I've got a few days off the pain meds left that are fucking with my psych meds anyway but need to put up with the pain.
and the procedure to take the stone out isn't until the God damned 7th of August because the only urologist at university of toledo medical center is on a long vacation.
So, I'm either a fool or I'm lucky, but one of the nano breweries out by my parents new place is coming to my part of the state for a beer festival, and was running some contest of send us a message and the winner will get free entry to the festival and the opportunity to meet the Brewers and help us out and we'll give you some merch and buy you dinner too
And I won it
So sure, I'll run the taps for six hours for the equivalent of $50 ticket and $30 dinner
I gave some thought to applying to be a bartender the last time I was at the brewery, it's a neat place with good beer, but it's too close to my parents
Should be a good way to meet the brewer and the owner and it sounds fun, actually

Why does this matter?

I had to move back home when I got divorced, stayed with them for six months, and then got my own apartment, 30 minutes away
I got into some dependent habits that I didn't like, like for stupid stuff, such as laundry and storage
And it really stunted my rebirth and I regret it
And there was some of them being dependent on me too, like my parents are mid-60s and struggle with technology stuff because they're used to me bailing them out
I just don't see how just working close to them has any impact on any of that dependency stuff (especially if you were determined to not slide back into bad habits), but if you're not keen on working there for any reason, that's good enough, really.
Also, working two hours away wouldn't be great. Especially getting off bartending shifts just to have to face that commute home.
Oh believe me there is a significant advantage in distance. When you're "close enough to just swing by" it changes their conception of how much of an imposition they're being.

Yea as soon as I graduated high school I moved an hour and a half away from my Mom. She's a great mom, but one that I need space from.
Sometimes I think I should have went a bit farther and crossed the mountains.
Not that I spend every day with my parents, but I've never understood the need to get away from them. I try to visit at least once every other week. They're only about an hour drive away.

My relationship with my parents is significantly better at arm's length. An hour long conversation with each every couple of weeks is all I need.
I'll happily call once a week. Driving the 6 hours to see them and be stuck in that smokey house and have to deal with the worst parts of our interactions? That will be a rare event thanks. Though the last time we did have a good talk about boundaries and asking vs telling me to do things.

For my part there's a few factors that make it best as a "sometimes" thing. First my mother in particular is very... she tries to be in my life to the same degree as she was in high school, wanting to know everything I'm doing and tell me all the ways I'm not living my life right. I'm 30 and my attempts to tell her I feel like she's crossing some boundaries have been dismissed or ignored. Second she usually tries to invite me to do things, like, last minute and I resent the fact that she thinks I can or will just drop whatever I intended to do and commit the better part of a day on my weekend driving for two hours and then sitting around and watching television I don't really care for on a regular basis. And like, I'm talking within a week of seeing her this will start.
Oh and third they straight up reject the fact that I'm trans and they've chosen to just sort of pretend that whole conversation where I told them I'm a woman didn't even happen.
I think I'm fortunate in the fact that my relationship with my parents has always been quite good and mutually respectful.
They are both Very Pentecostal Christian in their beliefs and natures, but respect and accommodate my more "liberal" (read: socialist) beliefs, if not fully understanding it.
Dad is quite reserved, but still likes to catch up and every now and then we'll move into D&M territory. Mum still feels very comfortable speaking to me in confidence to both ask for and give advice, which feels good.
I've always had a pretty good relationship with my parents, and it got a lot better once I moved out and started treating one another as peers. They're pretty far away though, and I wish I was able to visit more often.
At least Mori’s parents’ views align with ours with regards to politics and religion. We would absolutely not be living with them if that weren’t the case! For all our issues with them, at least I know his parents are 100% in alignment with regards to the values and whatnot we’re trying to teach our kids.

hope I don't miss a letter about my social security review and end up losing my check and thus everthing I own.
Have you gone to USPS and officially changed your place of residence/set up mail forwarding?
They're surprisingly efficient and I am *still* getting mail from my American address to my Canadian one a year on

You can do it online - shouldn't take long at all.

yes, and you can do this for anyone and they will not bat an eye!
If we already know they're so bad why are we getting more at 11? Can't we send them back?
It continually amazes me how easy it is to set up mail forwarding
Like it just seems so ripe for abuse/sweet pranks
... that's because knowingly doing it for someone who is not yourself or an approved family member is a federal crime!

they don't care (the post office that is) (at least when I had it done to me)
fortunately, I have absolutely nothing of value ever mailed to me.
Like you've never committed a federal crime for a sweet prank before

Not a federal crime, no...

I'm actually very eager to change jobs
I have a good relationship with my parents
This brewery, and my parents, are in a very, very remote part of the state, three hours north east of Pittsburgh, roughly
Sometimes I think I should have went a bit farther and crossed the mountains.

I look forward to moving out.
a) I have, and have always had, a very good relationship with my parents, as does my wife
b) They are extremely good about not being pushy to spend time with them, they mostly let us come to them to make plans
c) Living near them is quite a different story from living with them, I don't think I could handle that even a little.
But I have become much, much more liberal than my NRA Dad and moderate Mom
And I really couldn't take it for much more than an hour or two a day
The arguments about Black Lives Matter and Trump, alone, were enough that I wouldn't speak to my parents for days
But I literally bailed out of my miserable marriage with nothing but some clothes in a garbage bag, so
