I was the 3rd car in line at the post office drive through mailboxes. The driver of the 1st car had gotten out and was trying to stuff his letter in the overstuffed mailbox. There were also 2 more mailboxes. He is finally successful, gets in his car and drives off. #2 pulls up. He has 3 mailboxes to choose from. Care to guess which one? Yep, that's correct - the same overstuffed one.

Well, Christmas is the season.....that brings the wacky folks out. Just smile, head home and celebrate a successful run!

There are people who will put moving parts on ballpeen hammers.

There are also people who will buy those hammers.

I worry about both kinds, but especially the second.

Yeah, and odds are they vote too!

There are also different mailboxes for different things. We have the same set up and only one is for mail....says so on the box. I don't know what the others are for but apparently they are not for typical mail.

How many people have you seen press an already lit elevator button?

I was outside a local pharmacy one morning waiting with three other people for the door to be unlocked. Another woman walks over, past us and tries the door then goes to the back of our line. Seconds later an older gentle man strolls up, looks at the line then goes ahead to try the door. He says "It's locked!" as he turns to walk away. DUH! why would we all be standing here in this silly line!

The last time I went to the bank there was a line waiting to get in... I walked right up to the door and walked right in. Seems the ones in line had not tried the door. So sometimes.....

All 3 are for mail.

Of course all three are for mail.

A lot of post offices have one box for stamped letters, one box for metered mail, and a third box for express mail. Sometimes you'll even see a FedEx box (the USPS partners with FedEx for delivery of certain types of mail).

So yeah, one box might be stuffed full...probably the box for stamped mail. So especially at Christmas time, people are mailing cards with stamps on them, and they want to get them in the right box in time for them to be collected. That doesn't mean they're "lemmings" or lack intelligence.

In this case stamped mail can go in all 3. Inside there is 1 slot for all mail. They don't distinguish between stamped, metered, etc. No FedEx boxes.

Were the other mailboxes visible?
Not everybody who make a bad choice is a moron. They could be having an off day. It happens to the best of us.

What'd you do?

 

[RobertJ.]

Yeah, and odds are they vote too!

They do, but not quite enough of them did!

How many people have you seen press an already lit elevator button?

Or hit the crosswalk button twenty times?

To make it worse, I read somewhere that a lot of those buttons are dummies put there to make peds feel like they're doing something.

Yep. There was recently an article about the door close button on the elevator....it doesn't actually do anything. There to make you feel better

They USED to have......

They used to have different boxes for out-of-town mail and local mail and something else, maybe special delivery. I can't remember persactly. But I don't think they do that any more because everything is sorted and directed (and torn up) by machine now.

Went to a government building today with my Wife. I opened the door for her and then I tried to pull it closed because the ice cold air was blowing in. After a couple of attempts, some fella sitting there told me it closes by itself. I said, today?
Man sometimes I think I need to get out more or something.
Peace,

I'm not a "lemming" ( as in yes men-no thinkum-bobble head- followers), but how many times have I pulled to open one side of a double door with huge letters posted "USE OTHER DOOR"
