This makes me want to write a thank you note to my local postal inspector. Fortunately we have two very good rural carriers (a man and woman who alternate the route) who will bring grandaddy packages to the door or leave them in a safe place. The guy even loves to get out and spend a couple of minutes playing with my chocolate lab. my carrier growing up was my PawPaw ... i miss those days terribly now!

I think I would wait by the mailbox to have a talk with that mail carrier or do like I did and go to the Post Office the driver comes out of and raise hell at everyone there. Seemed to work for me.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

The guy even loves to get out and spend a couple of minutes playing with my chocolate lab. There are a lot of good folks in most jobs and then a few knot heads who mess things up for everybody. Wish there were still local postal inspectors but as B.G.D. will find out with so many cut back and changes they are now only in the largest offices with huge areas to cover.

I also have good carrier’s, probably will be passing out some modest gifts for Christmas. Everyone likes a gift. I definitely will pass a $20.00 bill to both the garbage men. These guys are great and very under appreciated.

Our carrier sucks.....we've had them refuse to leave our mail because our car was parked on the street............ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY FROM THE MAILBOX...claiming it was in the way. Also had them say they couldn't get the mail truck to the mailbox because "grass clippings were obstructing access to the mailbox" (keep in mind, this was not even a "pile" of grass clippings, but just where I'd edged our curb an hour earlier and hadn't gotten to blowing the clippings away yet.)
Never underestimate how hard lazy people will work to avoid doing their job, even when the job itself would've taken less effort.

The link below is what I went by after I got my note from the Post Office... https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

USPS left several of my packages in the rain. Too lazy to walk to the front porch. Lazy is an understatement. Had a buddy a few years back come home and the 3 AR uppers he had ordered instead of taking them to the house they left them sticking way out of his mailbox. Its a wonder no one stopped and got the packages. UPDATE: this is unbelievable ... the carrier left me a note - no mail - saying my mailbox is 40” ... this is absolutely insane ... i’ll post her note tomorrow, she said she wants it 43” high LOL...if it's in regulation, tell her to damn bad. Agree with that. id have her note and be talking to the higher ups.

I met my carrier out at the road and got her to show me how high SHE wanted the box set and I set it there. I've got a good carrier. Now the West Blocton PO is a different story. My brother sent me a package, got it back no such addy. Sent it again , same thing. He had the correct addy. I had to go to the PO and yell at folks , never happened again.

I went through the whole mailbox not the right height thing. The note had lil boxes but nothing much was checked. They certainly didn’t fill out the date I needed to have it fixed by. They didn’t do anything they were supposed to do on the little note but cut my mail off for a week. I was so mad I could have chewed nails.
