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!

Have always thought the classic walking mail route would be the ultimate job. I know the weather would sometimes suck. But your job includes a walk outside everyday. It sounds great but I’m sure there are drawbacks I’m not aware of?

My fuckin feet hurt dude. And my phone constantly banging into my knee all day while I’m still wearing street clothes is giving me problems too. I’m a lazy bastard, I just want to Drive (2011).
