    Point number one: throwing boxes into the bin with your address labels on is fucking dumb.

    Point number two: throwing boxes into the paper bin without flattening then is also fucking dumb.

    Obviously, if that’s all the guy did (provided this story has any basis in reality at all) sending a letter from a lawyer is totally over the top and in no way justified. I also doubt any lawyer would stoop to that, but then, they’re lawyers, so there’s that. On top of that, unless that neighbour owns the property, they have absolutely no business trying to enforce any rules there.

    All in all, either there’s more to this story, or OP met an actual crazy person. These exist everywhere and their craziness manifests in a variety of ways. Sending legal letters is one of the less scary ones, if you ask me.

      Why should I have to pull off the DHL stickers of my cart board boxes before I throw it into the trash???

        Because then anyone who is able to come to your house can just find your address for free

          If they come to my house they will be at my address and if they look at the doorbell panel they will have my name with first initial… Why go through the trash for that??

          Sheesh good thing then there is no panel with neatly arranged clear names written on it next to the door or something.
