There are surely a great deal of details like that to take into consideration. That’s a fantastic point to bring up. I offer you the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly one can find questions like the 1 you bring up exactly where one of the most essential thing is going to be working in honest excellent faith. I don?t know if perfect practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls really feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

Hahah, I think this is a great note. If I got a note like this, I would laugh about it and pick up my mail. So what if they’re away or otherwise unable to pick up their mail? It’s hilarious. I love this postman.

Even if I was going to buy rushgirl2112′s argument as to why mailbox-emptying might be an onerous chore (which first required that I look past her username, and try to forget for a moment how deeply I loathe Rush; just sayin’… I did put in quite a lot of effort here), it lost all steam with me when she got to:

People in those situations don’t need to come home to a sarcastic note from the mail carrier.

…SRSLY?
Not only am I unswayed by the guilt-trip of her completely-theoretical health and/or family crises, but I don’t even agree with it.
Sometimes, when you’re dealing with something as heavy and emotional as that (again, entirely theoretically), a sarcastic note from the mailman about your overstuffed mailbox can be just the thing you need to pull you out of those heavy thoughts, and lighten the mood a little with the absurdity of the mundane. I think I’d probably get a good laugh out of that note, if I was in dead-relative mode. But, then, I’m a sarcastic asshole who often laughs at serious things.

“if you don’t like the conditions, find another job” is a disgustingly snotty attitude, fwiw.

Maybe they lost their key. I lost mine and it took the maintenance guy at least two weeks to replace the lock because he didn’t have an extra key. And I lived in an apartment complex with less than 24 apartments

Taxpayers don’t fund the USPS.

The postal worker has NO right to leave such a snarky note – or ANY note at all. It’s their job to deliver the mail – not take the time, trying to be witty, writing a note. They also do not have the right to fill up another mailbox. They’re suppose to stop delivery.

This one made me laugh. I’m with the mail carrier. Junk is junk, but this gets chops for sarcastic hyperbole.

Depends on the setup of the overflow boxes. Where I used to live, they would put the key to the overflow box in the normal mailbox with your mail.

If that isn’t an option, the mailman is by 5 days a week. He can move the mail from the inaccessible box once the resident clears their normal mailbox. They’ll only wait one extra day and it doesn’t seem like they’re in a rush.

Our complex has no extra mail boxes.

OK, to defend junk mail, the reason there’s a lot of it — is that junk mail people are the ones willing to pay to send the mail these days. It’s class D mail, and they pay less for it, but they pay. Otherwise, the post office would be enough in the hole that they would have no revenue.

I’m torn. On the one hand, the public shaming is a little over the top. On the other hand, as someone whose former roommates have left my address on some of their billing statements and whose current roommate never sorts out his own mail, I am deeply sympathetic to the mail carrier.

Not to mention if you happen to have a fireplace or otherwise plan on having a fire, junk mail is a great fire starter.

Considering I have neighbors across the street who let their boxes overfill regularly, I say good on the postal worker and slightly wonder if this is a new england thing.

Yes we get it junk mail sucks. Guess what? Man up and clean your damn box out. Ohhh you’ve lost all of five minutes out of your day, however will you manage?
