Y kant my mail carrier read?
While I was talking to Larry on Yahoo! Mess-up-enger, I heard the mailtruck outside. I went out to get the mail and found out that half of it was for the two houses next door.
We live at 1801 on our street, and the mail that was misdelievered was for 1805 (right next door) and 1809 (next door to 1805).
We had all of the mail for both addresses and our own, too. What is so flipping hard about reading the numbers 1, 5, and 9? Wouldn't the names on the envelopes be a big clue, or don't they read those? If they're just reading numbers, then maybe the mail carrier should go back to Kindergarten to relearn their numbers. As far as I'm concerned, 1, 5, and 9, don't look anything alike.
This isn't the first time this has happened, either.
The thing that gets me is that mail for the previous owner of Mom's house still gets mail here. And Mom's lived in this house 6 years! You'd think that if you were the mail carrier and you were delivering mail to the same name for six years, then you get something for the previous owner of that same address, that you, as the mail carrier, should not bother to deliever it just because it's the same address as the person who currently lives at that address. But, that only proves that the mail carrier in this neighborhood doesn't read the names, only the addresses.
If the mail is not addressed to either Jean, Stephanie, Jeffrey or Daniel (because he still gets mail here), then send it back to where it came from. Because that's what we're going to do anyway. Why should WE have to do your job? Hmmmm?
That's all from where I sit.
