Today, in the mail, despite a not-entirely-correct address on the label, I received an issue of mental_floss magazine - feel smart again. It looks like someone subscribed me for the new year. I also have subscriptions to Inc. (going on two years) and Details (close to a year now). I have never subscribed to any of these magazines. They just start showing up and then continue to do so. I’m not sure if one of my friends is gifting these things to me (although Details goes straight to recycling most times), if someone on the internet decided to send me some freebies, or if this is something that just generally happens to people.

Anybody else out there randomly receive subscriptions you never asked nor signed up for?
