mel, do N O T get me started on the U S mail service today. My regular
carrier, who has been to my house many times (mel has been here before so he
knows, but for those of you who haven't, our driveway is about 1/4 mile
long, and we have guinea fowl that run loose) and always either blows the
horn or brings the package to the door has suddenly turned lazy. I ordered
a front door pick up on Friday for 11 packages to go out Saturday a.m. Got
home, there was a note in the mailbox saying she could'nt get my packages
because the turkeys attacked her.
1. We have n o turkeys.
2. The birds we DO have do N O T attack anybody (unless they happen to be
holding a handful of millet, or mealworms).
Tuesday, I got an orange card in the mailbox, one of those "we tried to
deliver but you weren't home" things. BULLSHIT. I was here, all day long.
She never bothered to come down the driveway, too f*ing lazy. I filled in
the card, signed, and put the card back out. She puts it back in the
mailbox with a brighter orange "animal hazard" sticker.
Called the postmaster. Told him she has been down here before and no
problems, just suddenly she is "terrified" to come down here. He said it
din't matter; he's not going to make her go where she is afraid of the
animals. Can you say lazy? That's ALL it is. I know it's the holidays and
they're busy, but there's just no excuse for this sorry attitude. I'd like
to sic some turkeys on her butt myself!
We have had trouble with this post office off and on ever since we moved
here. They got a new postmaster and things were better for awhile. Then
this delivery person tried her "I'm not delivering" crap and I had to write
a demand letter to the postmaster to get her to deliver (this was awhile
ago). This is just more of the same, only this time she's getting away with
it.

One way to approach this might be a few free small pieces judiciously
given...a mug to the postmiss, one to the postmastress....wherever. Dale
(our postman gets his package very faithfully....and occasionally misc
things. He and his wife have ordered several things.
Use their anger against them....right Lee?

Guinea fowl are very territorial and I would not get out of my car
if I were surrounded. There is one (count'em... one!) that lives by the road
across the street and if you drive your car to close to the curb, it
comes runnin out at you like its gonna rip your throat out. I only have
two or three hundred pounds on her, so I am not even gonna try it...
I don't like the tarantula sized spiders, and fast, beady eyed birds
give me the willlies.
on the other hand, it IS her job.
See..look here...wha-ch-need-der is a shoot runnin from the house to
the mailbox with a pully system or a motor.
I signed away my right to good service when I said "sure, they can
leave it without them signing for it." Of course I had to sign and date
the form saying that I said this.
The dog may eat my homework and then I have to send mel
another one of these things!
Merry Christmas!
(yeah, I said it...it's just gonna have to be ok to
wish someone a happy time without being PC. Dammit.)

ya know, before this happened, I had it in my head to give the woman a mug,
but now I'd just like to slap her instead. :( Yesterday was NOT a
good day; first the credit card crap, then the mail crap, now our favorite
pet guinea was killed by a hawk.

Lisa, that's a GREAT idea! Give her a mug.
Hold it in your right hand, and THEN slap her with it.
She gets a mug, you get satisfaction...
And a rap sheet for assaulting a federal employee! Two for the price of
none! (I'm joking folks, I would NEVER suggest getting physical with the
postal people, that's why we invented guns)
Or, just wait until winter, and order tons of heavy clay, and have them
send it USPS with a delivery confirmation (signature) required.
That'll larn her! Especially with YOUR driveway, and those attack
turkeys
you have been breeding.
LOL
