Postal worker queryFollow

My personal human mail delivery system left me a communique in my mailbox today saying:

NO MAIL AFter Tomorrow IF nAmes not inside MAILBOX

LAST WARNING

I figured I didn't experience a pointless feud with a semi-literate postal worker yet so I started to prepare labels and a response. And then I stopped, is there any end game to this? Is there a good reason for me to escalate for no relatively reasonable reason?

I dunno, I guess the question is, in the end, is it all worth it?

I think I just officially became 50.

Any of you dealt with a rebellious postal worker that refuses to use verbs?

Pick and choose your battles.

I mean, do you get anything good in the mail anyway?

I don't think I would even notice if they stopped delivering mail to me. Maybe my recycling would shrink.

If you live in an apartment complex or something with 20 mailboxes, just put your name on a sticker. If, like a normal person, you own an antique colonial that you're restoring while raising your children tell him you're going to cave the side of his skull in with an aluminum baseball bat unless he stops fucking around and waves to your kid when comes up the stairs to deliver the mail.

It's effective.

I actually don't; gf does get some bills that way, but we could prolly go paperless yesterday if we needed.

I am just wondering if the postal worker would manage to make the connection between people stopping to use them and losing a stable job.

Couldn't you afford a new house instead of buying a used one that needs restoring? Hobo. Mailman is probably ashamed to look your kids in the eye as he delivers your welfare checks.

Baseball bat does seem more personal than a note.

For some reason we have like 12 different mailmen. It's almost never the same person two days in a row. They must rotate or something. I know because the playroom has windows adjacent to the front door and my son loses his mind when he hears the mail person coming up the stairs and yells "MAIL!!! MAIL!!!!" about 900 times.

Drill a small hole in the back of the mailbox, tie a small string to the door and attach that to a paint grenade, and zip tie the grenade using the hole in the back of the mailbox to keep it in place. My mailman doesn't bother me anymore.

I would never advocate the use of anything else. Really. Move along.

I'll admit. I'm slightly confused... the address isn't enough for them to deliver the mail? Admittedly I've never lived in an apartment building, but I'm assuming the mailboxes are addressed by room number, no?

A while back we all got request for names from the post office at our place. I filled out their card and sent it back to them. It worked surprisingly well, and there was much less anger involved.

But you know, whatever floats your boat.

This is probably the most sensible thing to do.. I am going to visit the office.

( right after I take out the note from the mailbox; turns out I don't have it in me to escalate )

We are losing our mail delivery. From now on mail will be dropped off in a centralized location and it is up to you to go pick it up. Since all I ever get in the mail is bills I don't think i will bother.

And by now I mean whenever the change actually goes into effect (this fall or 2015 I think don't know, don't care, haven't used mail in a decade.)

Maybe your postal carrier is pissed because you apparently ignored the first, second, third...., requests to bring your mailbox into compliance?

Why do you dis the guy for his grammar when there is a legible message stating a real problem being brought to your attention? A problem that you're causing out of apathy.

How many times do you have to be dissed by a dumb-*** before you realize the value of other peoples?

Go without mail. I bet the mailman that you treat like crap could care less. We're not going to give up on mail service during this guys career so you can stop pounding your chest, or patting your back or whatever....

Couldn't care less. Not "could care less". I'm sorry, it just grates me so far up the wrong way because it's so illogical when written the wrong way.

It's actually meant sarcastically when used the "wrong" way. It peeves me, mildly, when people don't get that.

And now we can tall about peeves and carrots.
