my dad is so nosy that he reads everyone's mail :\
i've tried to express my 'displeasure' by yelling at him and threatening that it's illegal to read other people's mail.
he stopped for a little bit but looks like he's reading it again.

not like i get anything really personal, but still... it's fking irritating

Conventional mail? Do you have pen friends or something?

Aryn · 15 Aug 2003, 03:34

yah you know.. 'snail mail'
no i don't have penpals.. and even though it could just be bank statements.. it's irritating htat he's reading them.

today i got a letter from my union and from starbucks (coffee shop.. not coffee nut) and he read them both. they might not be personal... but they weren't addressed to him either.

the_dastardley_chihuahua · 15 Aug 2003, 03:42

start opening his mail, that'll learn him.

Dead_Meat · 15 Aug 2003, 03:46

My mum used to do that kind of thing, thinking we didn't know.

Then my brother opened a letter, wrote 'WHY ARE YOU READING MY LETTERS, MUM?' at the bottom and left it invitingly open on the table.

We left it and waited for her to come in from work, heard the laughter, case closed, no more reading.

Dont forget he is canadian

Pm me your address and i'll start sending fake lesbian love letters to scare him.

Dead_Meat · 15 Aug 2003, 05:09

I'm sure I could put some letters in the post with Arabic scrawls all over them and 'Toronto: CN Tower: Sept 11 2004.

Wait until he calls the police, when they ask him,

'How did you get this information?'
'I was opening my daughters mail without her knowing'
'Come with us'

Sorted. Thank me later.

ParraCida · 15 Aug 2003, 05:17

Just collect evidence and report him to the police, that will do it.
If you told him and he does it anyway, what the **** is he thinking?

Dead_Meat · 15 Aug 2003, 05:29

I like the way you apply multihunting tactics to the problem of parents opening mail.

Woof · 15 Aug 2003, 08:47

Send an envelope full of talcum powder with a death threat letter cut from newspaper headlines, for a comdey fake anthrax moment.
That will scare you dad from reading your mail in future!

Go with this one.

In this thread, Ærin explains that her dad reads her unimportant mail. She does not like this.

Aryn, just roll with one of the comedy fake letters option.

My own personal idea would be to try and fake something from your local solicitor responding to your inquiries about what could be done about invasion of your privacy.
Obviously this would take a bit of research, but it's less likely to scream "OBVIOUSLY FAKE LETTER!" in big red text.
If you can find out whatever law in Canada deals with privacy (preferably a subsection of it you can mention - or just make one up) and quote it then that'd be great.

Oh and put a real solicitor's number on the letter - it'll be funny if he decides to phone up and try and find out what you've been up to.

death threats, arabic scrawls and fake lesbian love letters?

meglamaniac · 15 Aug 2003, 14:19

All in a day's work.

Lord Talon · 15 Aug 2003, 14:20

Why not just invest in a post office box?

Why does this thread, written by a moderator, about relativly unimportant spam, recieve 20+ replies?

Eternity · 15 Aug 2003, 14:35

because we foolishly believe that responding to posts by female commenters somehow places us in like for any free sex they may be giving out in the near future, this is similar to the 'if I fluffle her I will get sex0r' phenomenon experienced on Irc.

meglamaniac · 15 Aug 2003, 14:42

Speak for yourself.
I'm just replying cos I'm sitting here bored so I might as well help out a little. Also every other thread is ****.

This pretty much rates men as ****wits in general terms. Luckily for me, I'm not like you!

Aryn · 15 Aug 2003, 20:17

hahaha.. nice ideas.
i should write one of those death threat letters done from magazine clippings :P

ofc then he'll prolly think he's the 'saviour' by finding it in my mail and contacting police or whatever

maybe someone who has my address can write a letter to me saying 'hi dani's dad.. you shouldn't be reading this...'

Nodrog's thread on "Can I stay on someones floor" got a hundred replies. Matrim's thing about Norway too. Random subjects seem to interest people from time to time. I'd imagine quite a lot of people have experienced some kind of invasion of their privacy.

Anyway, my mum used to do the letter opening thing. I found severing all relations for the last two years has worked well.

Have you had someone continue to read your mail after asking them to stop?

Move out?
Kill him?
Become president and make opening of other ppls letters illegal?
