This isn't really a horror story but I was once in a long, long line at the local PO and the clerk was attempting to explain to a Latino gentleman who did not speak English that he had to seal and tape the box he wanted to send: He'd brought a box full of stuff to mail but he'd just left it open with stuff sticking out of it.
I've much more horror stories from trying to get my driver's license. That place exists simultaneously in this plane of reality and a hell dimension. |

heh... always the non english speaking people that don't seal their boxes.
no joke. i've seen it a couple times. ______________________________ there was a lady who went through the line in front of me with a stack of boxes. when she got up to the window she proceeded to toss them all behind the person at the desk. and then screamed that they were breaking all her items and demanded $150,000 in insurance damages. eventually (after lots of yelling)... the cops showed up. then she said that that cops were post office workers in disguise... funny right? no. i was sending 13 boxes out that day. ALL SIZES. to multiple countries. sending them out and tracking sometimes means the difference between getting your pay pal money sooner than later. they were gonna close in 30 mins. i had been in line for about 30 as it was. so what happens next? her husband comes in and starts fighting with the cops. obviously they weren't taking any more customers as there was a fight involving psychos and cops. i did not get my packages sent out. not so funny.

No horror stories, but I always wonder why 2 of the 3 postal employees go to lunch between 12 and 1 when all normal working folk do. I know many professions that take lunch and hour later to facilitate those who would come in during lunch break and the PO seems like an org that should do that. Same at the end of the day. We have a Postal Store that is open until 9 and they switch shifts at 5 leaving 1 of 2 at the counters. Christ, all this does is slow it down as those who don't go at lunch go to this location after work.

-Every time I go into the post office to send out a box, I end up waiting in line for at least 20 minutes
-They only have 2 of the 5 windows open -They let people get passports from the same windows every other customer goes to, so it holds up the line

Mail carriers are evil bastards who do not fear and respects my packages...
and with that said, the only bad experiences I've had inside post offices is with non-employees. I often want to deck people infront of me in line for being so damn... stupid. |

Haven't had any real problems with the post office but UPS however have given me opened and beat the crap out of boxes a number of times.
As for mail carriers, I used to be pretty cool with the one in my old neighborhood, but back then I'd get so much damn mail it was hard not to start chit chatting with the guy hah. Same goes for most UPS folks I've met while having to sign for something, I always make sure to say thank you. Last edited by CallMeRotten; 07-21-2009 at 01:38 AM.. |

For a while there were a number of lovely UPS ladies that would drop off at my old house, one in particular I swear looked like some eastern European model, I think she only came by twice and then the drivers switched up again.
I just remember stepping out to get the package she left and did a double take as she walked back to the truck in those super short khaki shorts, in fact I could have sworn she made them shorter by cuffing them. |

My wife has had a subscription for X-Men for the last several years. One month, our postal delivery person folded the comic in half to stuff it in our mailbox. That didn’t make sense because the mailbox is big enough to lay it flat. I took it to the main post office and yelled at the post master for about 30 minutes. She was adamant that it wasn’t their fault even after I pointed to the “do not bend” printed on the package. When I started making a big scene and started hurling some serious insults about incompetence, she finally gave me the money to replace it.
