the post office hate thread.
 
I hate the post office. I mean, how simple can it be? take a package ------> deliver a package. Wankers.

I was at indoors, the doorbell rings. some mailman trying to deliver something.

I get my hopes up thinking it was the fucking HM-2 that i've been waiting for like a month. The guy calls out a wrong name over the intercom, I say 'sorry?' and the guy's just silent for 2 minutes while I watch him on the cam. He rings another doorbell and just stays there not saying anything in a package in his hand.

And not just that, its that the other guy who sent the thing clearly wrote NETHERLANDS on the package, and the stupid cunts send it to FUCKING CANADA. HOW DUMB CAN A PERSON BE??

so basically,


FUCK

THE


POST

ehh, they are not so bad.

lately, they have been painfully slow, though.

Italy is having major postal issues from what I understand. A lot of people selling stuff on ebay won't even ship to Italy anymore.

Disgruntled Youth 10.25.2007 06:38 PM

Yeah I have major issues with the post office delivery it's pure fuckary but, I feel as if they've gotten a little better. I feel the whole Italy thing on ebay. I heard it takes a real long time to deliver to that country(Italy).

Savage Clone 10.25.2007 07:24 PM

I wouldn't mess with him either, but I was talking specifically American.

pbradley 10.25.2007 07:26 PM

Apparently everyone who has ever lived in this apartment had never thought to change their address.

I love the post office.

Everyneurotic 10.25.2007 11:29 PM

ohh fuck, i have to send something to italy!!! hope it does get there.

they have been changing the way the mail is being handled here, that's why things are taking long to arrive.

I've never had any trouble with my mail to Italy.

The postal service in England is fucked up at the moment due to the fact that the postal workers decided to go strike for nearly a week because they didn't like the idea of having to update their working practices from the way they were in the 1950s. A huge backlog of post built up and the Post Office managers are, quite rightly in my opinion, refusing to pay overtime to the formerly striking workers to clear it. I have mail that I've been told was despatched from the US by air mail three weeks ago (usually takes 5-7 days to get here) that hasn't reached me yet.

We also have a few problems with posties beleiving that the purpose of the postal service is to provide them with free gifts to give their wives and girlfriends - the jewellery that I bought for my girlfriend for her birthday, for instance. Thankfully the package was insured so I was able to get a replacement, but it was a month past her birthday before she got her present.

But I wouldn't go so far as to say that I "hate" the post office, more that it can be slightly irritating sometimes.
