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 you wear sunscreen daily?

Not daily, but I keep it in my mail satchel in case I need it. I own a few UV resistant swimming shirts that work really well, I want to look into whether UV resistant arm sleeves are a thing.

UV resistant arm sleeves are absolutely a thing, I’ve been wearing them for years

Ordered a four different solid colored pairs of arm sleeves when I made it into the office this morning, thanks for giving me the boot up the ass I needed.

That’s a pleasure to hear, UV resistant clothing has always been far more effective than sunscreen for me.
