When you live in an apartment building, it's not uncommon for you to get other people's mail. Sometimes your neighbor's mail finds its way into your box, sometimes it's an envelope addressed to a previous resident, and now there's apparently a third scenario in which you start receiving a subscription to Entertainment Weekly under someone else's name. This is my current situation. The magazine is addressed to my apartment, but there is no one in the building who has the name on the subscription. To my knowledge, there's never been anyone called Marcus Mungiole in our apartment, and we've been here for 3 1/2 years, so it's a little strange that these magazines just started coming a few weeks ago.
I'm not complaining. If anyone can appreciate a free subscription to an entertainment magazine, it's us, but it does seem highly suspect coming straight out of the blue like this. Somewhere there have to be strings attached. It doesn't seem like it could be a mistake because we have a very distinct address and the building only has 4 units.
Who are you, Marcus Mungiole? Reveal yourself and I will turn over back issues of the magazine you ordered. Also, maybe look into getting a facebook page because a google search of your name revealed nothing.

Forgive me

It was a very plum plum
ReplyDeleteRandom subscriptions to Entertainment Weekly are very common. We got it for three to four years, having never subscribed.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Marcus Mungiole has been found!! He got in touch with me after finding this blog post. Now I feel bad because I no longer have his magazine since we moved. :-(
