Dear Mailman: Thanks for once again ensuring that my mail gets wet. Appreciate it.

I think your mailperson is probably more concerned with meeting his or her daily requirements of filling a gazillion mailboxes than s/he is with getting yours perfect. Special you and your special mail need to get over it.

After awhile, mailbox lids warp from weather, opening and closing, etc. The mailperson should not have to fidget with your lid to get it to close

They are forced to deliver mail as quickly as possible and no longer really have the luxury of even those few seconds it takes to adjust your mail a second time because over the course of a day, that would add another hour or two to their day.

If you really want better mail service, try lobbying your Congress representative and Senator to get them to allow USPS management to set postage rates so that they can actually pay the carriers a reasonable rate, and hire enough carriers to adequately deliver the over 600 million pieces of mail to over 142 million locations it handles daily.

And, no, I am not a postal employees, I just happen to have a couple of friends who are postal employees. I know one that barely sees his kids anymore because he leaves for work before they get up and gets home after they get home. And he's a mailman for crying out loud making middle class wages, not an overpaid lawyer.

If I had actual representation in Congress, I might do that.

Signed,
DC resident

(But seriously, that really sucks for them. I didn't know their workloads had gotten so huge.).

Postage has increased consistently in our lifetime, by a COMMISSION.

And the mailman is wet to...

Well considering that they are cutting so many jobs, maybe he is just worried his job will be gone and is distracted at work.

Solution: Move to Phoenix. No rain, but your mail may catch fire from the heat. Wet mail you can read, ashes, not so much.

Try again - NASCAR race last November, it was a long rain delay in Phoenix.

I guess you don't get birthday cards. Sorry no one loves you.

Ugh I hate my mailman. He purposefully leaves the glass storm door open (caught him on security cameras opening the door as wide as it can go before leaving), leaves packages in plain sight, Misdelivers half our mail, and spends a lot of time with his girlfriend in the mail truck. I have complained many times as have others on my block to no avail. Hate this dude and don't care that he gets wet delivering mail. Come to think of it, I haven't gotten my mini Boden catalogue in over a year.

OP I am praying for you in your time of great need. Hugs to you.

May God provide peace in the world and dry mail.

I wish the mailman stopped delivering junk. I think I'd pay $50 a year just to stop the junk mail from coming to my house. USPS is just as bad as telemarketers IMO.

Is there a GoFundMe site where we can contribute to a new mailbox for OP?
