while paying his old office a weekend visit, jimsu from katy, texas didn’t catch the original note (or, perhaps, conversation) that precipitated this huffy screed from the mailman…
…but he did spot the follow-up from the office smartass.

Dear Mailman,
Please don’t kill me with an automatic weapon.
I love you.
God Bless the USPS!
Thanx!
And what’s with all the damn underlining? Isn’t that supposed to accentuate a point within a paragraph, instead of actually being under almost the whole letter??

“any mail left on the ledge will remain there.” Yet they continue, as evidenced by the source pictures, to leave mail on the ledge. Maybe that is why the altercation happened anyway “We are TRYING to create an air tight seal around this door half using junk mail and you keep taking it!”

The price paid for hiring office staff for their looks rather than their talents.

Oh yes, Customer, you are completely right. I should have been more considerate of your needs. On the other hand, you’re a doofus who 1)forgets the key to the mailbox and 2)leaves mail for pick up in inappropriate places. Nyah-nyah

Does he intend to post a guard?

We could avoid all of this unpleasantness if postal workers got better tips and were allowed to use the decorative towels!

Are you sure that first note is signed “Mail Man”, and not “Mad Man”?

Wonder why the mailman put up a sign… instead of MAILING his screed? THIS is why our mail rates are going up, mail usage has dropped so much.

so is that why price of postage is going up?
To keep up with the price of specialty coffee?
Well, that sucks about as good as one of those itty bitty straws!

Most of the letter carriers I’ve dealt with are pretty cool and some will go beyond the call of duty. It looks like this guy tried to do that only to have it blow up in his face.
A while back we had a really nasty mailman who would not deliver mail if he felt his path to the mail box was obstructed. He skipped our house because there was a bike too close to the walkway and when I went out to get the mail from him he told me it was too late. One day he refusesd to deliver to all the houses on one side of the street because there were kids playing on the sidewalk.
The local postmaster took complaints but never did anything about it. Nobody liked the guy and eventually he snapped and punched somebody. I wish it had been me. I’d have tapped a keg full of whoop ass for him and then I would have sued the Postal Service for hiring captain flashback.

My mailman peed in my mailbox. While I have no actual proof I can tell you that the neighborhood cats were really interested in my soggy electric bill and KFC coupons. I think it was to get back at me for leaving a Slurpee in there one hot summer day before I went on a vacation.

Postmaster Flash leaves The Message
P-A notes everywhere
Customer wanting flowers, you know I just
Don’t care
I can’t take the smell, I can’t take the crap
Got to be considerate, I guess I get no nap
Fool wants a café latte like it’s free
Smartass in the office without their damn key
I tried to leave a note, but it didn’t get far
Underlines, punctuation … you know this means war
Don’t push me, leavin’ mail on the ledge
I’m trying not to lose my head
I’m like a madman sometimes, it makes me inquire
Why the hell I don’t retire

Hey all - just got home from work….
Zzzzuup with the little thumb-rating thingie?
Is this new or am I totally deranged?
(Don’t answer the second part of that question unless you want me to go Postal) Then you’ll never get your effin mail.
So there.

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down. Seems to be thumbs up — it’s that rating number that makes me question…. I mean, how can you get a zero and still have a thumbs UP? +
