These are the remains of a postcard I sent to a customer that the U.S. Post Office inadvertently destroyed and sent back to me. Apparently, when the post office accidently mangles a piece of mail beyond recognition, they send it back to you in this neatly packaged window envelope with an apology on the back.

While it's a nicely worded apology, the whole thing leaves you a bit nonplussed. While you're obviously po'd at the fact that the post office shredded your mail, yet managed to return the pieces back to you in this nice envelope in pristine condition. Though you have to appreciate the fact that they took the time to retrieve the pieces and return them to you so you won't wonder what happened to that missing electric bill.
I'm not quite sure what disturbs me the most. The fact that this is a postcard that I sent over two months ago or the fact that this is the fifth envelope I've received in the past three months.
