veXXXing situation

Dana and I live in a duplex. This basically means someone built a big house and split it down the middle. The address is somewhat confusing - both our neighbors and us are 1605 but we are the "B" side while our neighbors are "A". So if you wanted to send me something, (like a high quality fake mustache - thanks Martins!!) you would need to make sure you put "B" on the address.

Someone attempted to send something to our neighbors who have very recently moved in. This something is small, the size of a magazine, and is covered in an opaque, black plastic.

Unfortunately, our new neighbors neglected to tell his correct new address to whichever adult magazine he prefers.

So here's the dilemma, what do I do now? Do I walk over there and say "hey, I'm Jason, I live next door - here is your pornography. (by the way, I am a minister)" Or do I do the old "doorbell-porndrop-run"?

When you return the magazine gently remind the neighbor that he might want to get the address corrected. If the magazine continues to come to your home you have some choices tell your neighbor again, that you would prefer the magazine not come to your home or cross out the address, return to sender & send back.

I used to live in a duplex and was also the �B� in the equation.

I think you have a few options:
1) Stick it in their mailbox/door/what-have-you with a friendly note reminding them about the A/B address situation.
2) Dump it in the trash.
3) Cover their door with XXXchurch.com stickers.

Magazine? What magazine...I never saw a magazine. (Because I threw it out...)
Glad you got the mustache. :) Have you started the adventures of Jason & The Mustache?

I personally would love the "ding..dong...ditch" methodology to returning the magazine....watching you run away from that would be freaking hilarious!!!!

You guys seem to have the most exciting adventures... uh, I don't know what I'd do. I'd say knock on the door, wait for face to face interaction, remind him about the A/B situation, encourage him to get the address changed. And tell him you're a minister! Ha! That'll freak him out. But no, seriously, if he has to meet you face to face, chances are, he'll be embarassed about the fact that his neighbor intercepted his porn, and will most assuredly change his address. Now, as for the fact that by doing this he'll continue to get porn... I don't know. That IS veXXXing (very clever by the way)

I would trash the real mag and put a Field and Stream in the ominous black cover and place it in the mail box.

Then I would secretly tape his reaction and put in on Youtube.

Return to sender dude.
