In most states, the mail is PICKED UP and DELIVERED six days of the week. Why do you only pick up and deliver when you feel like it? Is it a mood thing? Hormones?
Or simply that you want to beat Alaska for the worst mail service in the country?
Inquisitively,

Oh, PLEASE, post any answer you may get… Am dying to know!
We have a mailman that can’t tell the difference between our address and someone that lives miles away, we get these peoples mail almost on a daily basis. The number is the same but the street name isn’t. Maybe English isn’t a requirement to deliver mail.
When we lived in Alaska, I fnally just had to have all of my bills auto paid…because I would get them AFTER they were due! Ooops…
Ah yes, not to mention taking a week to deliver an express overnight letter!
Uh-oh! Have been there! Once took 2 years to receive a package I mailed myself from another part of the homeland. I had forgotten what was in it by the time it arrived.
Reminds me of a letter to Santa that will end up in the North Pole slush file.
Let us know what they say.
Krissa – There’s no answer to the great mysteries of life.
Janeywan – We get the exact same thing. Half the time we’re delivering mail to them. Grrrr.
Tommie – I wondered what it would be like to live in the worst service state, not the second worst service state. I guess I should count my blessings.
Claudia – Grrrrrr….. Gosh, that’s so frustrating.
SandyCarlson – WHAT?? OMG. That’s unbelievable.
Colleen – Indeed. Plus it’s like a conversation about ‘why you suck?’ First we have to both agree that the situation sucks which is not going to happen.
We used to have that problem, but after moving to small town la la land, we know our mail lady and she will actually *gasp* bring our mail to the door if there is too much to be shoved into that little green box.
I hate it when she’s on vacation!
Oy and GGRRRRRR to your mailman!
We have the same problem. Apparently it is no longer required that mail delivery persons be able to read English.
This has caused me countless hours of angst and frustration but the Post Office seems to think I shouldn’t complain because I do get my mail sometimes. I wonder how they would feel if they got their paychecks only some of the time.
Perpstu – I know our regular guy because he delivers the bees. He must be sick or be on vacation. It just sucks.
Heart in SF – I bet it causes you angst. Can you get the checks auto-deposited??
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail but not budget issues…..our regular mailman is great, substitutes are a different matter altogether.
