You think that's bad!? I personally KNOW my mail-man. He lives in a house my aunt rents to him & his wife just down the street from my own. He speaks to my mother & I as frequently as we see each-other. WELL, when I have a package in the mail I have to be extra careful to catch him, as he has done some very ODD things in the past. When he 1st became our mail-man (& this was before we had gotten to know each other, having just spoken casually once or twice) I had tracked my package to a specific day. The tracking said it was en-route to be delivered. WELL, my mail was delivered, and NO package! I was very bummed-out, thinking that he had overlooked it while sorting at the PO... Or that it may-of fallen behind bags within his truck? Or that the tracking was wrong & that it was not going to be delivered that day at-all. WELL, that night was garbage night... I took the trash-cans to the road, & for some-reason I decided to check the mailbox. (Just.... because... lol) THERE was my package!! He must-of realized that he had forgotten it in his truck, and he must-of delivered it sometime that evening! What the HECK!?

So I never spoke to him about this incident... We received a few packages w/no-issue after this. Then, I was to receive another vape-mail package. I was very excited yet again, & had tracked this one to the very day it was to be delivered, yet again.... This time, mail was delivered... NO package!! (what the HECK is going on NOW!) I wondered. I walked back to the house & entered through the garage. Later that evening, I have some outgoing-mail to put into the mailbox. As I'm returning to the house from placing the mail in our box, I notice a small PACKAGE, in a FLOWERPOT, between our two garage-doors. He must-of AGAIN, forgotten to deliver my package, & this-time, he left it in my flower-pot at the foot of our garage-doors?? What possessed this man to walk up my drive-way, and place my package in a FLOWERPOT, where it could-have been RAINED ON, nowhere NEAR my front-door?? I just don't get it... lol.

On another occasion after this, he delivered my package to my next-door neighbor's mailbox... I don't know if he did this on-purpose, (he is very close with my next door neighbor) to find-out what was in it? I have no-idea WHY he would do this... but he managed to do it! What is UP with this guy?

Flash-forward quite a while. I am expecting yet another package on yet another specific, tracked day. I'm very excited... Yet AGAIN, NO package. NO package in my flower-pot, NO package on my porch! (WHY must he come BACK to deliver my packages? WHY can't he just deliver them with the mail!" I wondered) ALL of these packages were sent via USPS, no special services. (they SHOULD be delivered w/the mail) Later that night, KNOWING that this man likes to play games, I walked outside to try and SPOT my parcel.... WELL what do you know, there it was, in the CENTER of my driveway -______- RIGHT where my mom would NO-DOUBT run it over, if she were coming or going. (we're talking about a woman that could find a crack in a 2000 square-foot granite museum-room-floor, & trip on it.. we're talking about a woman that can & WILL find the one uncovered beverage in the fridge - and spill it, without fail, every SINGLE time) So I grab my package from the middle of my driveway, and bring it inside... WHO does that? WHO picks a random spot on an individuals property, and drops their package there, rather-than using the mailbox or porch? Is it because we're friendly? Is he trying to save me steps? I don't get it!! USE MY PORCH, IF U MUST! lol.


It isn't over yet.... Now, it's been a year, since these occurrences... I'm still vaping, and I'm still receiving the occasional package. Now, he usually remembers, & places them in the mailbox. :D However... & this is killing me inside... HOWEVER... This man... (I'm sorry, I'm a little nerved-up) This man... now PARKS at his house.. GETS OUT, goes inside, and takes up-to an-HOUR to come back out, get into his truck, JUST to deliver my neighbor's mail, and ours. He has TWO MORE HOUSES to go, before he can go home and end his shift... and yet he STOPS at his house, 2 houses from mine, goes inside, and takes an HOUR LONG BREAK, before delivering my mail.... Ohhhh this angers me. :) You literally have 2 more houses to go buddy... You can't just finish-up your route before you go home?? ESPECIALLY on days that you KNOW there is a package sitting next to you for your neighbor's box.... ??

AHHHH I don't believe some people, sometimes. I just don't believe them....

This creature is still alive? You are indeed, a gentle soul!

This creature is still alive? You are indeed, a gentle soul!

It gets worse... when he first became or mailman, I used to have to wait for him to finish taking a leak in the woods, just a road and curb skip across from my front yard and drive way... my house faces forest, and this man used to park his truck literally ten feet from my driveway, heyy out, and PEE behind his truck, in front of my house, every single afternoon. This went on for MONTHS! and I used to wait to head out to get my package so as to not disturb him! The one time I did disturb him wss the one time I did retrieve or mail while he was still... exposed... and that didn't stop him. Nope. & this wss MONTHS before we had spoken, months before he began renting my aunt's house... he thought it alright to pee, in uniform, in front of my house, onto my property line (we own dune feet into the forest... or house wss built on a junk yard, we used to own the entire road) unbelievably strange, this man...

& please don't get me started on his WIFE, whom knocks on or for every 4 or 5 days to ask... to use.. or telephone.. because she doesn't have her own home phone or cellphone when her husband is at work! I should say she USED TO do this... I day used to, because my mother finally told her off, not because she was asking to use or telephone, but because twice... TWICE... TWICE!!!! ...she used the same story that her daughter was stranded downtown, out of gas on her way to work, and that she just needed to borrow 40 dollars ti help her daughter out....

Now, my mum, dearest mum, is a devout Christian, and lent her the money both times...the first, the $$ was returned the next morning. The 2nd, she promised us shed return it "when my husband gets home" no money the next day... no sign of her the third day... finally my mom knocked on her home door.. & she tells us that her husband has been on vacation in Florida for a week, and he will return in one week... -_____- ugh... turns out, he really was in Florida... But get this.. our town community forum had someone from a NEARBY neighborhood post a wall post stating that this woman has borrowed 40 dollars from her, and several other neighboring houses, promising to return the money when her husband returned from vacation! Wow, she was literally knocking on door after door after door, even outside of or immediate neighborhood. When her husband returned, we did get or money back, but it took or aunt (their landlord) asking them to please repay us first.... wow huh? Kind of out of the ordinary, right...? After that, the next time she knocked on or for my mother have a speech that rivaled the great Lincoln, Washington, Kennedy, Nixon speeches before hers.. lol. Told her that we dint want to help anymore LMAO. Strait up. And she walked away... But get this.. She STILL knocked on our door twice after that, that we know of, but we ignored her, without shielding our voices lol, and she hasn't knocked since. Haha.

so we don't know... that couple is very strange, haha. I just hope he remembers my porch or mailbox rules from now on. Lol.

Oh, and one final piece Dee resistance... I visually watched this guy deliver or mail in a rainstorm and drive away from or house with our mailbox door down just 3 weeks ago.. by the time I got my coat and shoes on and made it curbside, or mail was SOAKED! I don't get it.. I just don't get it.. And yet we talk like we're best freaking friends when I catch him as I'm pulling in or out of the driveway our when we're out in the yard when he arrives.. I dont get it.
