I work for Uncle Sam now. Empty your fucking mailboxes, heathens, or I send your mail back (Seriously, empty your damn mailboxes. I don't like delivering the spam mail just as much as you don't like getting it, but I hate overfilled mailboxes more )
Can you just not put that shit in my mailbox? Seriously. If it's not addressed to me, don't put it in my box.
New On Route. I don't know who lives there yet. Also, spam gets around that with 'or Current Resident' on it.
Unlike some government workers, mail carriers actually provide a service to society. Besides, I'm pretty sure mail service is a guaranteed right in the Constitution!
Yeah, it is. The Constitution says Congress will create post offices and postal roads. Much like it says to provide for the common defense.
True story - years ago, my car had some issues (don’t remember now) so I had arranged for the vehicle to be picked up and taken to a mechanic. It happened that the same day, I woke up with a nasty sinus infection. So, when the mechanic’s tow picked up my car, I answered in my tweety one piece pajamas and big fuzzy tweety slippers. When presented with the bill days later, I was told there wasn’t a charge for the two because I had answered the door in my tweety one piece pajamas and big fuzzy tweety slippers.
The Preamble is the mission statement, not law. The part you want is Article I, Section 8, Clause 12.
Yeah @Bickendan why is my ebay purchase stuck in our local post office for the second day now? I want the Transformer I bought, dammit!
You in an apartment building? Do you use a multi-box unit for your mail, and if so, have jerkasses been breaking into it? Could be worth calling up your office and chatting with a supervisor or the station manager. Hopefully your office does Amazon Sunday and will deliver it tomorrow.
I live in one half of a double. Actually this is normal in our area. The best one is my wife sent Christmas presents to her aunt in Colorado, but when it left here in Pennsylvania it went to a post office somewhere in New England and stayed there a few days. Oh, and congratulations on the new job.
If Bickendan starts accidentally killing wedding parties on the other side of the planet with his deliveries I promise to rag on him.
Gotta love that .gov life! But, being a mailman can suck. I'm friends with our mailman at work. We joke around a lot. He's retired Army and less than a year away from retiring from the USPS. His saying is a play on the traditional motto. He says, "Rain, sleet, or snow, the mail must go." But, what he doesn't say is that he has enough seniority that if the weather sucks, he just takes time off. If it's hot, you're hot. If it's raining, you're wet. If it snows, you're wet and cold. You'll certainly get your steps in though.
