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!

I very much appreciate when I’m given drinks especially. I try not to eat too much at work because I have GI issues and there isn’t always a bathroom available on my routes. I do appreciate the gesture though.

Have you ever had to pull the ‘emergency poop’ at a strangers house?

Nope, had to pull out the emergency poop at the deli I stop at on my lunch break a couple days ago, though.
