Don't send them their own junk mail back. Send someone elses.
Credit card companies may have rising damp, need their chimney sweeping, have a desire for the special offers at the supermarket
Your insurance company may need some double glazing.
The loansharks providers may just fancy a pizza.
Not so much anarchy as a public service

At school I used to walk the wrong way along the corridors, they had an idiotic one-way system that could result in walking five-times the distance if you followed it.
When a teacher said 'You're walking the wrong way boy', I said 'Yes, I know' and kept going. They never came after me.
I also used to take the screws out of classroom fittings and throw them away. I carried screwdrivers especially. I don't know why I did that.
A year or so ago the pastor at our church was laughing and asking if Kieran, his son, had told me about what had happened to him and his pal the week before. The two teenage boys were standing there looking sheepish so I asked what they'd done?
They had been at another church the week before and Kieran's pal was wearing a T-shirt with "Jesus Loves You" on the front. Whether he did it deliberately or just forgot was not made clear but later on, when they were having tea, Kieran's pal took his jacket off revealing the back of the T-shirt which said..
"Everyone else thinks you're an ar**"

Clever anarchy - reinforcing the rulez - bid of a double bluff!

I sent a formal request to my former employer - an FE college - to see my personal HR file, quoting the Data Protection Act 1998. When, as expected, I received no reply - despite a telephone reminder to the HR Manager - and the deadline passed, I made a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office who then required them to let me see the file. I was contacted in such a helpful manner to arrange an appointment and requested photocopies of every document in the file while I was there.
Why did I do this? Just to be a nuisance really, and because I could.

I was once working at an office and due to leave. They had treated me like crap while I behaved professionally. So, knowing that my office base was connected to head office via a narrow band microwave link and then broad band, I did the sensible thing and backed up all the hard drives in the office to the main server at head office as I was leaving. It made sure that all the work was safe and must have taken hours hogging all the band width.

Breaking the speed limit is not anarchy, it is following the flock. Adhering to speed limits , now that is anarchy.Night Train said:

Send anything you don't want back to them. The heavier the better. Tape the freepost envelope to a brick wrapped in brown paper, or fill it up with strips of steel, or something like that.
