A resident of Quickborn, Germany, experienced an astonishing administrative glitch when he requested online access to the tax portal. Due to a malfunctioning automated system, he received 1,700 identical letters, delivered in ten large boxes, after a processing error during the switch to winter time. Initially alarmed, the taxpayer was relieved to learn it was a mistake. Regional authorities have offered their apologies and suggested he return the letters, but he plans to use them for his pellet stove instead, turning a bureaucratic blunder into an unexpected heating solution.
