    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 ppl go through trash to find useful data which they can use to steal your identity.

        If you consider yourself careless in regards to your privacy, you should probably presume to already have a criminal record to your name in countries you’ve never visited.
