They suck

Some friends sent us a card by USPS mail. It took 15 days to go less than 10 miles. It didn't have to leave the Parish.

But I also got a USPS priority mail package that went from Oregon to SE Louisiana in 3 days.

Just admit it, you didn't see my package until you were in the next neighborhood. It was late. You were tired. Or high

I used to work for the USPS. I can assure you this is what happens. They likely forgot you had a package and instead of driving back to deliver it, they'll just bring it back to the post office.

Post Office Stories - whatcha got

A good portion of their workers are lazy, worthless cocksuckers.

My wife ordered something from an antique store in the middle of November that was going to be a Christmas gift for her sister.

It didn't arrive until early January.

It sat in two distributions centers for a combined 44 days.

They used the China Virus as an excuse but fricking junk mail came like it always does.

What USPS inside joke did I miss yesterday??

Our first carrier was great. If we were in the yard, she would say a friendly hello. She knew our dog, and would let him get into the truck to get a milkbone and a good pat on the head. We never had a problem getting our neighbors mail, etc. She got transferred to another route after a few years and ever since then we have had a series of mediocre at best carriers. One fricker drive onto the grass in front of the house, leaving ruts, to deliver a two pound package because he was too lazy to walk thirty feet from the driveway. Another told me "It's not that good" and gave me the dagger eyes when I happened to be outside and said "Good afternoon" to her. Bad day, I guess. Typical stuff like that. As far as inside the local post office, the workers at the Covington branch seem to hate their lives. Every time I walk in there to mail something for work, they look at me as though I just kicked their dog because now they have to push some buttons on a computer and give me some stamps.

Mailed a birthday card to my sister in California. She didn't get it so two weeks later I sent another one. It arrived 4 days later, the first card then arrived about a week after that. Mailed from same place yet one takes 4 days the other about 4 weeks.

Postal delivery. A-hole mailman has left packages:

Under forsythia bush near front gate - I live 400 feet off road, it was a friggin miracle we saw it driving out. Who the hell does this? How long had it been there?

Left a package on top of my pickup truck- It was raining

Propped up against garage door- I have to check now when backing out for packages as I ran over one the first time they did it. They have done this 5 or 6 times.

Received allergy serum in the mail, broken vial. Called post office. They were sorry. Yes they are a sorry outfit.

Have called about all these issues and every time it is a "substitute mailman" and we will take care of this. But they don't.

I have a covered front porch that UPS and FEDex and Amazon Prime have no problem finding. It is as easy to get to as any of the other places where USPS have put my stuff but maybe 8 steps further. My stuff doesn't look like it has been used in a game of dodge ball or soccer either.

But twatter told me for months that voting by mail was safe & reliable?

My postal carrier talks about how strongly their union runs the P.O. To the extent the General Mgr. has little to do with the day to day activities of his own office. She also said there are supervisors, who are paid near the top of the pay scale whose only job is to follow mail carriers around on their route, clocking how long it takes to get from a truck to a mail box. This happens 5 times a mth to each carrier. Each Post Office station in cities with populations over 75,000 spent $100 K on security cameras....in the employees'parking lot: to combat employee theft.

My place mid nowhere, had FedEx leave a PC Motherboard under a Holly Tree at the highway end of the driveway, about 90 yards from the house. A week before they had delivered to the bench on the front porch. Before cousin across highway died they had delivered my entire Dell system to him, except for one small box they left on that porch bench. No notice/note the rest was with cousin (different last name, and weird numbering system so his address appears as if a couple miles away, example: me 101, him 863)
