  1. Every so often you hear about a postman who is busted for throwing away large volumes of mail to avoid delivering it.
    Other times they raid the dudes house and it’s filled to the ceiling with undelivered mail.

    As a kid I dumpster dove the Post Office’s trash.
    They threw away A TON OF GOOD SHIT!
    My parents couldn’t believe the merch I came home with!

  2. The days of,
    “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”
    Are long gone.
    As are the days of kids “wanting” to work.

  3. I fucking knew it. I saw a dodger in the Post Office a couple days ago that looked just like Locos avatar. Except the dog seemed younger and happier. Bottom line, I’m turning the bitch in and collecting the buck twenty five all for myself. The rest of you assholes, back the fuck off. (Now playing the theme song to Have Gun Will Grovel). Good night evil bitches. LOL

  4. I live in Chicago and things go missing in the mail often.
    Just try to make contact with someone to find out where your stuff is. Time wasted.

    They have automated voting here anyway, so the citizens don’t have to actually vote. The govt knows who you want to vote for and takes care of casting those ballots without you being bothered.

  5. Now Loco sounding pretty damn incriminating. Betcha he stole one of those plastic mail carriers that promise death if you swipe it. Bottom line is, Loco’s worth money to the right peeps. Especially when they find out he never had the JAB. LOL, I ain’t splitting it.

  6. No.

    I did, once upon a time back when I was 18 and paying for my car insurance. Yeah, had to pay again.

    It wasn’t the post office that was dishonest.

    Cash has no trail to confirm in the mail.

    Period.

    Nowadays, I do not trust the post office, to be honest, but they have directives to f**k with us now, officially. So I expect nothing good from them.

    It may be the same game today, but the times are much more evil now, so I expect the worst, from now on.

  7. My mailman is an idiot, I can’t tell you how many times he has confused my mail with a business a block away from my house by delivering their mail to my house. I’ve become a regular taking their mail over to them and did so again last week, the people who own the business are surprised also at the stupidity and carelessness of the mail man. Or I get mail for the same street address a few blocks away both East and West and even North as well of my house. My favorite was the UPS guy who delivered a large very heavy package of expensive equipment to my house a few years ago with an address with an extra digit but the same first 4 numbers for a business way the heck out in the Spokane valley. I looked up the tracking number on the package and called the business and they sent someone to my house to pickup their package, they were very appreciative of that. I still don’t know how UPS managed that screwup. I worked part time as a casual mail handler for the Post Office in the mid 80’s sorting mail and would’ve been fired if I had made that many mistakes in sending mail to the wrong address. It was also funny as hell seeing all the names of cities misspelled (sometimes I swear deliberately) on mail Like Titsville for Ritzville, Wash. or Boners Ferry for Bonners Ferry, Idaho etc. It was never a dull moment working for the Post Office which I used to joke was welfare for disabled veterans and others who were hired only because of affirmative action because of their color or other politically correct victim status.

  8. This reminds me when I lived in an apartment in Florida.
    The Nielson TV ratings company sent out blue/white Fed-Ex sized envelopes to consumers.
    I kept seeing them in the trash near the group mail boxes.
    I opened one up and it had five single dollars in it.
    Evidently they sent cash to encourage folks to respond.
    I kept a sharp eye and collected at least 80 bucks people unwittingly threw away.
    It was weird, some had 3 bucks, some had 7?
    Anyway, I’m sure the postman didn’t know about these or a few thousand envelopes would be accidentally L O S T !

  9. I sent a case of smoked almonds to my elder son. The PO lady stole em!
    No shit. Nuts. She musta thought she had hit the jackpot until she opened that package. Anyway, we put a trace on em and they eventually turned up.

  10. Are you kidding me?
    The postal workers in my town are lazy lowlifes!
    You can’t even trust them to deliver the mail.

    If they weren’t delivering mail they’d be on welfare…. real lowlifes.

  11. Last year, I sent the Trump campaign (to an address in Washington DC), two contributions (checks) in two separate mailings. Neither of the checks were cashed. I then sent a follow-up mailing to that same address, inquiring about the status of those checks. This mailing was certified, and in need of a signature, upon delivery.

    A year later, that last certified mailing has still not been delivered. The Post Office is in, neck deep, on the Deep State swamp.

  12. My mother had a sibling who worked for the usps years ago and she (my mother) told me that those mail handlers could “feel” if an envelope contained cash….. it took me a while to figure out how those handlers knew! A tad slow I am.

  13. USPS won’t deliver packages to my home because I do not have a mailbox at my house – only reason. I have everything delivered to my PO box. Mail theft is rampant here, so I get penalized for not having a residential mail box. I don’t need the aggravation.

  14. I absolutely guarantee that if the PO employed drug sniffer dogs & canceled delivery on anything “testing positive”, within weeks they’d lose half their business.
