You’ve Got Mail
…wait…let me rename that title to "You’ve Got[an idiot who delivers your] Mail".
For the last 3 days, none of the people who live in my building have been getting any snail mail. And so…I called the FINE folks at the post office and they told me the mail person LOST the KEY to get in our front door.
I know accidents happen [I can forgive that]but what really annoys me most is that I was told… that I was the 1st person in my building to call about this. Second most annoying part of this is…I was told "Now that we know there’s a problem, we’ll look into it". My response was…"Well, how did you know the guy lost the key if you didn’t know there was not a problem?" The real accident here is that the person’s parents who i was speaking to on the phone, forgot to use a condom.
I’m going to stop writing about this before I show my super evil side….or maybe I already did.
Ha! you go Bob! I agree completely! I like Super Evil side Bob!
hahahha! yeah, it was those evil eyes in yesterday’s post that helped…
the guy on the phone was giving such lame excuses and when i called him on it…he tried to turn things around as if i was the one who lost the key. ARRRGE
So much for that ‘Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night’ business, huh?!
I suppose the obvious question is: did you make arrangements yo get the mail that you’ve missed or will miss in the future…?
‘Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night’ …only happens in a Kevin Cosner movie
we shall see about tomorrow
I’ve seen “Super Evil Side Bob.” It ain’t that scary. Just a lot of ranting and raving and a little kinfe stabbing here and there. Nothing you can’t dodge by pointing past his shoulder and yelling, “Look at that!” He turns around and that’s when you tell yourself….”FEET DO YO STUFF! IT’S SUPER EVIL SIDE BOB GONE BONKERS AGAIN!”
the knife was dull…come on!
“forgot to use a condom” ? really ? .. oh man, Bushie isn’t getting to be our hero..
[scratches head] I guess it could be considered “Safe Mail”
super evil side??? Can’t wait to see ….
hahahah….mwaaaaaahhahahahha [evil laugh]
naw..i’m not that evil 
you may not be that evil, but i have a sneaking suspision that you were a holy terror as a toddler and child, and perhaps through high school and college, and maybe ….
wait.
perhaps you are evil.
LOL 
Bawwaaahhhhaaaaa
Bob, I love ya, I really do!
Bawwaaaahhhhaaaaa
Can’t wait to see? You already saw it. You think yesterday’s pic wasn’t real? That’s what happens to his eyes when “Super Evil Side Bob” comes out to play!
my teeth grow too…and get sharper!
In Japan I received a envelope without contents while I was at work…Later in the evening the postman came and bowed deply and apologixes that had not gotten a letter….Man…canyou imagine THAT happening in the U.S.???
To answer your question: I have lived in the Orient for 15 years of my Looooonnnnngggg life! I love it here…I would come back, but the State Department won’t give issue my Chinese wife a Visa and now she is, at 45, battling cancer so it looks like I will be here a while…
In this case of yours: Shoot the messenger!
no way….that would never happen here…though i’d love to see my mail man bow as he handed be a bill
15 years! I’m sorry about your wife..i hope she beats it!
hugs!
Yeah, well, it’s a government department right ? You can’t expect them to know what they’re doing or people might start to think they’re living on another planet.
you make a good point
i suppose it could be worse…i could have actually had to WAIT IN LINE at the Post Office…i have nightmares about these sorts fo things
I’ve been at odd with my post office ever since they put a hole in my Rolling Stone with Jessica Alba on the cover. How dare the mess with Jessica Alba? Then all I got was a sorry letter from them.
LOL! that is funny…they could have AT LEAST got you a new Rolling Stone
ahhhhh ya just gotta love the government officials; their excuses always brighten up my day!
I just wonder if i’ll get mail tomorrow…i’m doubtful
we shall see
Must be something going on with postal employees lately. Idiots (See my latest blog post)!
wow…i’ve had so many bad times standing in line at the post office too…i used to run a mail order biz and had to ship things to other countries…after getting chewed out by a postal worker a few times I figured out how to avoid them
PO worker and DMV workers sort of rank the same to me….
i’d like to think they are just human and hate their jobs but it’d be nice if they didn’t take it out on people standing in line….i’m a FedX Fan
There’s nothing like dealing with the Post Office for causing one to go postal. Hmm, seems like there’s a definite relationship there. So I prose that we go judge-mental-case when dealing with the courts, im-sure-antsy when we deal with the insurance companies, and law-your-ass when dealing with slimeball lawyers.
there.s a post office here …and if 5 people are in line..it STILL takes an hour to drop something off…
this is day 4 of no mail to our building…i’m hoping the mail man gets the note i left for him :-\
uh…did you forget your friend here is a government employee?
oops did I let your secret out of the bag that you fraternize with such people?
just as long as i keep the high powered guns away from you, i think all will be well
did i forget to tell you that each employee gets a government issued gun?
joking!
and i hear in some states they issue Wrist Rockets
which state so I can move……
I think the postal worker left the keys on their gunrack.
LOL!
Postal workers are the same the world over………in Australia a termed was coined ‘Going Postal’ as several employees after losing their jobs went back to their offices and shot their fellow workers/managers.
yeah…we have that “going postal” phrase here too…i’m not a fan of Gun being mixed with the Mail….just seems like a bad combo…perhaps they need a gun powder stamp
… and the USPS continues to wonder why people send so much more email nowadays and the post office isn’t getting as much business.
yeah…do you remember that internet scam a frew years back where this silly email was going around claiming that they were going to start charging for each email sent..like a stamp? LOL
i should have saved that…it was actually quite funny…some people actually bought into it too:)
Yes, I do remember that. I don’t even see how that idea could be considered. There is no single governing body over the internet.
Even if they decided to charge postage for email, who is to say I wouldn’t put up a sendmail server and let everyone use it for free? If they make that a crime, who is to say I won’t run it from another country?
News just in: your post office contact has relatives working in the UK. I am referring to the guy who refused to accept my form for the Passport Office to issue a replacement for a lost passport. Because, he said, he needed to see my passport as ID.
Oh my gawd…THAT is funny!! i would have killed to see the look on your face
