Just thought if you guys and gals are like me you'd like to rant about your mailman(or woman) every now and then. Well, now there's a place for that! lol

We just recently got a new mailman and not only does he come down the opposite side of the street first(used to come down my side first) but on average he's about 3 hours later than the old one.

Yep I hear you on that. My mail gets delivered between 1pm and 5pm. When I lived two miles away, across town, I could always count on my mail being delivered between 11am and 1115am.

Mine is always an afternoon delivery, I hate the wait, especially when I check the shipping information and I know I will be getting items that day. Of course it always arrives and I'm happy. But always impatient.

If I could go to the sorting office and get it, I'd be annoying them at 7:00am every morning.

Why can't they see it from my perspective, these little pieces of cardboard are very important to me!!! and I don't like the wait, why do they have to deliver mail to other people, they are just utility bills and junk, mine is really important stuff!!!! LOL

So basically what we've established so far is... cardboard > bills and all other mail

well.....my mailman rocks....he remembers my name....and i live in a suburb of atlanta.

two years ago we put a card in the mailbox for santa that we had planned on getting out before the mailman got there. whoops. mailman actually got it.

3 hours later, i go to a family owned convenience store (he knows everyone's name too) - and the mailman is there eating a snack. i ask him about the card.

so he proceeds to say: "yeah, you didn't have a return address on it, but aren't you .....and don't you live at .............? what i'll do is write your daughter's name on it - its ........., right? and i'll put a return address on it and she'll get a letter from santa." So, he knew my name (i've walked out from time to time when i hear the mail truck and get the mail from him personally) - and knew my daughter's name because she was getting children's magazines sent to her.

right. like that will ever happen. yup. one week later, my daughter got a letter from santa.

watch out - those postal workers remember all!! seriously - he is a class act, and as nice as he can be.

Mail carriers get no love. They bring you your cards from thousands of miles away for $1.64 and we complain because the new guy learning the route is 3 hours slower?!?! I, for one, am happy that I can get a card from here to anywhere else in the US in less than 3 days for under $2!! She can bring my mail at whatever time is convenient for her, I don't care.
