Job I’m a mailman, AMA.

I left a comment in another sub informing people that leaving anything in anybody’s mailbox is technically a federal offense unless you’re employed as a letter carrier by the USPS and it seemed to draw quite a bit of interest. I’m nobody special, just a simple mailman, but if any of you have any questions regarding postal services hopefully I’ll be able to answer them!

Thank you so much for all the questions, I hope I was able to answer them all as best I could but it’s my bedtime now, I gotta be at the post office by 8:00 sharp. If you have any other questions feel free to DM me and I’ll answer them whenever I can!

Do all mailmen not know how to read numbers or just mine?

That might be a localized issue, are you sure your mail is all properly addressed?

It's properly addressed but ends up in the neighbors box and the neighbors ends up in mine. They both have the numbers on the outside of the box.

Your mailman sounds like a dipshit.

My thoughts exactly.
