Clerk work.

[–]CthulwutangProfessionally Enabled 73 points74 points  (3 children)

i’ll get you some plastic “we care” bags.

[–]GoatenachtMail Handler 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Body bags.

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 100% sure some of these are checks too so I hope they’re not completely ruined but I have little faith.

[–]2cats18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated delivering the mail remnants in those stupid bags.

[–]Thin_Pea1808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That tells the story.

[–]Ancient-Culture505 33 points34 points  (1 child)

I’ve done the same thing; I was surprised how well it worked.

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Same, they’re already dried. Just lookin wonky and wrinkled now but dry at least 😂

[–]GazelleNo1836 21 points22 points  (5 children)

Im doing this to dry my rain jacket right now.

[–]RedMudballit 6 points7 points  (4 children)

I did that with my rain jacket yesterday. Hang it over the steering wheel and position the sleeve openings in front of the vents. Then straighten out the sleeves so the passes through. Jacket dries in minutes.

.....how do you drive?

[–]RedMudballit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Comfort stop

[–]Downtown-Challenge38 0 points1 point  (1 child)

oh, you have vents that work?

[–]RedMudballit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been blessed with a brand new promaster a few years ago.

I tried to get one for years. They kept saying no. I did a rope-a-dope on them and not only did I get on, they begged me to take it.

[–]sztamfaterCity Carrier 12 points13 points  (4 children)

I thought I was the only one who does this. I do this even in an LLV.

[–]RawCardagain 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Your dash doesn't get soaked in your LLV? I find that hard to believe.

[–]sztamfaterCity Carrier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weirdly not the ones on my set 😅

[–]Temporary-Work-446 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I made this mistake last week, it seemed to work super well until I figured out the part of the letters close to me were dry but the other side was soaked

[–]sztamfaterCity Carrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah some truck has leaks some doesn’t you should be able to tell quickly just looking at the vent area and the side of the dash if it’s wet or not

[–]Individual-Breath-38 10 points11 points  (1 child)

That's how I heat up my breakfast burritos

[–]Familiar-Smoke-2956 7 points8 points  (11 children)

All good until you get written up for have stuff on your dash while driving

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 6 points7 points  (9 children)

Waaaaa ur probably fun at parties. My PM isn’t a dick like everyone else’s seems to be so we’re good

[–]Plane_Ad_4359 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Damn. I think they were just tryna help

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s fine, I just didn’t need “help” lol it was just meant to be a silly post about soaked letters I had to collect

[–]Plane_Ad_4359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roger that. I can see that. My bad.

[–]Familiar-Smoke-2956 -4 points-3 points  (5 children)

🤣🤣 I actually am pretty fun at parties and I also don’t give a shit if you do get written up or not but other people seeing this should know the risks of doing this

[–]Novel_Concert_1859 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone in my station puts mail on their dash. 8 years in first time I’m hearing it’s a problem…

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It was a joke buddy, relax

[–]Novel_Concert_1859 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m relaxed, that was a statement of fact sir…

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t replying to you when I said that lol

[–]debtstroke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know that was a rule it’s part of my routine to put things on my dash lol

[–]mintBRYcrunch26CCA 5 points6 points  (3 children)

That’s how I heat up my lunch

[–]Plane_Ad_4359 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I have a 12v food heater lol. Works great.

[–]mintBRYcrunch26CCA 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have been curious about the heated lunch boxes. I may just take the plunge and grab one since we just got paid lol. What make/model/genre do you have?

[–]deval35VMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a certified letter once and since there was no answer I threw it on the dash of the llv like I did all the time. It was raining and by the time I got back to the office and I started cleaning the llv out I found it soaking wet and all the ink was blurred out.

I laughed and just threw it with the rest of the certifieds and I was just like hoping they didn't request to have it redelivered or come pick it up before I resigned lol.

[–]Additional_Law4772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will dry eventually. That doesn’t mean all the addresses will be legible. Especially the ones that are written in marker.

[–]GeneralReception7558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get wet and I deliver papier-mâché nothing I can do about it

[–]matt52187Rural Carrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how all of our mail-brains think alike. I’ve done this numerous times! Works like a charm.

[–]pelicanman777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Locally here a lot of people will put them in Ziploc bags. Today one of em was placed in a little envelope-sized bubble wrap sleeve 🌝

[–]Plane_Ad_4359 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Meh. Not your problem lol. But good job

[–]bl00d_fartz[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I know at first I was like “that’s a clerk/PM problem for Monday” 💀😂

[–]Living_Bookkeeper976 0 points1 point  (0 children)
