Filling out paperwork can seem like a very tiresome task for many.
However, being able to send the documents by email offers some relief due to the ease of only having to click a button.
Not for one Reddit user though whose letting agent demanded that they send printed documents by post.
Rattled by the inconvenience of having to take a trip to the post office, the wannabe renter took a creative route in order to get back at the agent.
They titled the post: “Dear letting agent: If you’re going to insist that I send printed documents by post that I could email you instead, I am going to take the complete and utter total p*** with the envelope.”
Hilariously, attached to the post was a picture of an envelope that had been sealed with wax which directly mocked the letting agents “out-dated” demands.
The original poster added: “And yes, I did buy the stamp, wax, and very old seal ring specifically for the purpose.”
People quickly took to the comments to offer their thoughts on the gaffe.
One person commented: “If you’re in Kent I’d happily deliver it by hand and loudly announce to passers by what I was doing. You know, the whole ‘Hear ye, hear ye’ bit.”
Another person joked: “Send it by carrier pigeon,”
Whilst a third person added: “Excellent execution but if I received this at work it would make my day. Fill it with glitter if you really want to take the p***.”
The original poster provided an update to their practical joke: “Having heard from a few people that wax seals can a**e up the Royal Mail’s sorting machines.”
“I’ve now removed the label from the front of this envelope and will put the whole thing inside another envelope.”
“Now it’s also a Russian doll system. Don’t want to hassle the Royal Mail, after all.”
We feel sorry for whoever has to open that letter!
