    Not quite as fun but my mum works for postal services in Austria and there’s a special stamp for mail accidentally sent to Austria instead of Australia

      The volume of missent mail has certainly gone down in recent years due to both communication moving online and international post adopting more precise adress systems, but 10-15 years ago you could get parcels with multiple “missent to Austria - missent to Australia” stamps on them due to some incompetent people not realizing where it should actually go.
