Posted December 18, 2012 Me too. I smile when the envelope I hint isn't necessary but is included anyway is unsealed, because then I can reuse it for real world purposes. Too bad that your frugality also applies to your website. It's not working... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2012 I like to place the cash in a thank you card in an unsealed envelope. Old school manners I guess. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 24, 2012 Putting the donation in an envelope (at least to me) adds a veneer of classiness to the whole thing. I've always felt it was a bit ghetto when I hand the cash (without an envelope) to a provider. But that's just me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 25, 2012 Never have used an envelope to hard to get the rolled coins in it. It does come in handy though if you don't bother rolling the coins. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 28, 2012 I still say no envelope! Just put pieces of paper under the soap dish if you want to help with my collage/art 378 project due next week. Plausible deniability - tipping the washroom attendant or the maid maybe? Plus, if the money is wet, we know you really did wash up a little. :-) Even if your hands don't look dirty, there's something sexy about a guy who smells like fresh soap and water. The envelope thing descends from fourth amendment blah blah about locked containers requiring a separate warrant. Initially, it may have provided a novel and potentially useful defense; however, now that it's become a cliche well documented on the internet, I would think that the caselaw has already negated the envelope thing. In fact, the very presence of an envelope could possibly be seen as "indicia" of intent to commit a crime. Cops can google, too. Also, I have heard that the envelope thing has been misused as a scammy tool for some guys who put one dollar bills in the envelope, or xeroxed copies of real money. I like my soap dish idea. I keep a counterfeit pen in my makeup case, and I haven't used it yet but I could if anything looked weird under my soap dish. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
