It could have been the one who rendezvoused with a female in the 100 block of Maplewood every day at lunch, or it could have been another.<br /><br />But I can't tell you how many 'tickets' my kids would get for parking at the curb! He would finally withhold our mail. The paper he'd leave would explan that the USPS REQUIRES 20' on either side of a mailbox because, you're right--the mailman doesn't want to step out of his truck! There were four mailboxes in front of my town house and there was maybe 20'-30' inbetween each. He wanted to just dive and put mail in the boxes without ever getting out!<br /><br />Of course it did me no good to complain about getting others' mail.Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-70237324564922454022011-12-17T17:30:33.306-06:002011-12-17T17:30:33.306-06:00My friend was a bit of a sexist who couldn't g...My friend was a bit of a sexist who couldn't get along with his female supervisor...He eventually lost this route because he didn't agree on the new alignment.<br /><br />I used to cal him "Section 101 sub paragraph c " because he was always about how the people on his route were violating postal regs by putting their trash cans too close to the mail boxes because he had a mounted route and didn't have to dismount.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-75686749949000391402011-12-17T17:06:48.275-06:002011-12-17T17:06:48.275-06:00This buddy of mine delivered in our area; I hope i...This buddy of mine delivered in our area; I hope it wasn't a bearded know-it-all ,friend of mine...:-) One day he was as hot as a firecracker because he had just written up a truck driver for blocking the access to some mail boxes.

You don't mean the "ever so frien...Mike?<br /> You don't mean the "ever so friendly" mailman that delivers, sometimes, in Tanglewood do you?<br /><br /> The one with the salt and pepper hair, sorta beard, and glasses?<br /> You can't mean him can you?

More and more the USPS is delivering my UPS shipped packages. <br /><br />Yes, the price of a stamp--44 cents for anywhere in the US--is a bargain. <br /><br />Now, the employees, on the other hand, are something else. I won't even start. It will just make me mad!Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-64051890254542343432011-12-17T15:33:41.287-06:002011-12-17T15:33:41.287-06:00That's UPS.That's UPS.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-76963313184951079132011-12-17T15:32:51.924-06:002011-12-17T15:32:51.924-06:00I used to tease a postal friend of mine about UPS ...I used to tease a postal friend of mine about UPS being my delivery option but he always responded that UPS routinely brought their packages to them because of their overload...As you might expect that led to another friendly argument...He would say that USPS was cheaper and I said USP was the carrier of choice.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-7609881225340102862011-12-17T15:14:39.001-06:002011-12-17T15:14:39.001-06:00I received a package today that was ordered to shi...I received a package today that was ordered to ship on UPS... but UPS didn't deliver it USPS did, that's a first. I take it USPS got a cut of the shipping fees. <br /><br /> The only thing I can figure out, is that the UPS truck from Houston got to Victoria at 7:31 AM Friday and UPS loads it's delivery trucks at like 4 AM, so UPS took it to the USPS for Saturday delivery. Even though Monday would have been within the promised delivery date.Legionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943732661912414361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-25509445795464640812011-12-17T14:55:38.901-06:002011-12-17T14:55:38.901-06:00Wow,talk about dead,I believe the VA went about 8 ...Wow,talk about dead,I believe the VA went about 8 hours without a comment,the other day....I don't know if they are having technical difficulties or something else besides lack of interest....Saturday is usually a slow day but maybe it will pick up.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.com
