Another Irritant
Well, this is not so much irritating as baffling: On magazine subscription postcards -- such as the one that I am currently holding from the most recent issue of The Atlantic -- you have to check one of two boxes: "Payment enclosed," or "Bill me."
How exactly does anyone "enclose" payment in a postcard? Does The Atlantic expect to find a 20-dollar bill duct-taped to the postcard? Or do they expect me to create a little pouch by using a supersharp razor blade to slice the postcard edgewise? Isn't the whole purpose of a subscription postcard to give people the option of subscribing while having the magazine "bill" them later?

Well, as I say, that would defeat the purpose of having a pre-addressed and postage-paid postcard in the first place.
