As a mailman I deal with the public a lot. I don't really mind people using this joke "Oh any cheques in the mail today? Har har ha" or " I don't want any bills today har har har !" I'll even fake laugh at these people because they don't know that I hear the same damn joke three times a shift. One guy even uses it an average of two times a week...but I even let that annoyance slide. What really gets me is the ridiculous questions that they obviously know the answer to....
It's an official holiday, Islander day, the whole island pretty much has the day off, except Canada Post. I'm at a community mailbox, my truck is right there with the Canada Post logo all over it, I'm in a mailman uniform but that won't stop the stupid question...
"Are you delivering mail today?"
I close my eyes.
I feel like saying "No lady, on my days off I practice my deliveries by writing hundreds of letters to people and print off Canada Post decals and stick them on a fucking rental truck."
"How come I'm not getting my mail anymore?"
This one was pretty fantastically stupid, the guy was still waiting for his home delivery mail that stopped two years ago, either he just doesn't watch the news, go outside or be awake most of the time to understand anything.
