Quoted: I keep getting mail for a homosexual that apparently used to live where I do. 60% of my mail is his, shit I've lived there 6 months already.
I've received numerous mail for gay porn and what not. I tried to tell the mail man that this wasn't my mail and that this jackass doesn't live here. The mailman which barely even spoke English mumbled something like "I don't know...I don't know...how you say uhhh..." I said "fuck it never mind". Now I just throw it away.
Is there some sort of way to stop it without having to talk to the illegal alien mail man?

First, call the postmaster and explain it. They did some thing for us where we gave them the four or five names that were always showing up at our address for former owners, and they sorted (most of) them out.
Second, for those that do get through or if the postmaster doesn't fix it, go get one of those "make your own stamp" kits from an office supply store. Also buy a fat sharpie or a marks-a-lot marker.
Set up the stamp to say:
RETURN TO SENDER
ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN
Mark out the address/zip code on the envelope, including the light orange barcode that might be on the front or back. Stamp the front of the envelope with the stamp, somewhere near the original address. Circle the stamp with the marker, and draw an arrow pointing to the return address.
We sent back EVERYTHING. It took about six or eight months, but eventually the various companies stopped sending stuff to us. Now, three and a half years after we moved in, we only get something for someone else once every week or two. We just stamp it and toss it in our outgoing mail pile.
