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

You're not very good at analogies, are you?

Hey, at least they didn't leave your checks that you reordered out on your porch!

Well at least your mailman can read. Mine can't seem to understand the difference between the letter A and B. My office has mailboxes right on top of each other, labeled with A (for suite A) and B (for suite B). Suite B is empty and has been empty for months, and I just discovered several pieces of important mail in the other box.

The postal carriers now have double or triple routes to handle. Many of them work 12-15 hour days at the same pay scale (no raises) that they used to get paid for 8-10 hour days. 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.

The pay difference is they get paid HOURLY meaning more money and overtime pay.

I'm sure I'd be pissed too, but his job delivering the mail is probably a greater pain than you getting wet mail.

You have n idea the strain mail carriers are under. If you are putting a mailbox with a lid in an area that is not covered, make it large enough so that the mail can easily be placed in and closed. Do not expec5 the carrier to spend extra time at your house every day because you have the wrong sized box.

Who the hell writes checks and who the hell gets mail?! Checks are always wrapped tight in plastic.

At least you get YOUR mail. My idiot postman delivers others mail to my box.

1) move your mailbox so it's attached to the wall by your front door so it will be covered by the awning and stay dry. Unfortunately the mailman will have to walk farther but that's the breaks.

2) I live in Los Angeles now, and our house is on a corner lot. The "backyard"--meaning, the lawn, the swings--is on the corner part facing the street, and we have a 15 foot high hedge. I've had the mailman throw the mail over the hedge into our yard, where the sprinklers get it. Amazon boxes, too. I just want to say, "how much of an idiot ARE you? Do you think we jump over this 15 foot high hedge every time we want to get in and out of our house? Have you looked around the corner and noticed our driveway, front door, and MAILBOX?

yeesh

and to 14:25, hello, that's THEIR JOB--they get paid from our taxpayer money to walk around all day long. C'mon.

I once had an affair with my mailman, AMA.

Oh, shut up with the taxpayer sh*t. As if the mailman is also not a taxpayer. Loser.
