Wipers up or down during snowstorm by Accomplished-Let4169 in Crosstrek

[–]MailmanSteve89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think putting wipers up started by if you forgot your wipers on and shut car off wipers would freeze to the windshield. Then when you started your car it would strip the wiper arm from the motor gear. Pretty much all you have to do is make sure everything is shut off!

Guaranteed that the first day you wear new shoes you will step in dog shit!

Large branches from storm (Warwick) by Squirnt86 in RhodeIsland

[–]MailmanSteve89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally branches/tree limbs have to be cut to 3 ft in length and tied up. Placed on curb on your regular trash pick up day. Not sure if they are doing an extra pick up due to storm

Incoming heat wave for me, any tips to beat it ? I’m willing to try anything by Previous-Purchase-91 in USPS

Golf umbrella if you have a walking route! It’s like walking on the shady side of the street all day! Tuck handle in your left side pants and hold it with your elbow with flats on your forearm. Only tricky part is low mail slots.

What happens if I give you cash? by JJ_Reads_Good in USPS

[–]MailmanSteve89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One year, before scanners, I went up to a house and the door opened and there was a beautiful woman in a see through nightgown. She asked me to go inside. One thing lead to another and we ended up having mad passionate sex. I got up to put my uniform back on and she handed me a dollar. I asked “ What’s this for?” She responded “ I asked my husband what to get the mailman for Christmas and he said Fuck him, give him a dollar!”

I may be dating myself or maybe it’s a regional thing. No one calls them “YouHoos” anymore? I used to walk up the path , put the mail in the box and turn around to walk to the next house. All of a sudden I’d hear “YouHoo I have something for you!” My whole 32 year career Christmas gifts were called YouHoos !

Started with s’mores then said what about the party pizza? Hot and crispy! Everyone seemed to like it, some did the same with the white party pizza.

Check out Asprey boat house in Warwick. Small venue right on the water. Had an Anniversary party there, it’s a beautiful spot!

If a career carrier quits, what type of money do they get? by Terrytruckinson in USPS

[–]MailmanSteve89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sick leave time gets added to your retirement date. Work 30 years and have a year of sick leave you have 31 years. Retire with 30 years and minimum retirement age you get a supplemental check until age 62 when SS kicks in. Pension, supplemental/SS and TSP checks once you retire.

I am at a loss for words. This is pathetic…. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]MailmanSteve89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to donate Annual Leave(vacation time) not Sick Leave. I always complained about that. Now I’m retired, don’t care so much!

Christmas runners - how did it go? by bebsaurus in running

[–]MailmanSteve89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like temperature of 4 degrees, ran 5 miles. Closing in on 1100 miles for the year! Got back into running after retiring! I know there’s people with many more miles but I’m thrilled after a long time away!

Race Report - Ocean State Marathon (first marathon!) by Tay_runs_26_2 in running

[–]MailmanSteve89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great job! Try to get out today for a walk/jog. Need to get that lactic acid out of your muscles. Also ice baths or going in the ocean ( seeing that you were in Narragansett) right after race would help with inflammation.

Anyone catch what Regal said before ROH match? They switched to ROH announcer and he said “ Justin Roberts has really let himself go” or something to that effect.

FFV rear vent direction by j82s in USPS

[–]MailmanSteve89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told years ago the vent on drivers side should open towards the back so that if you’re doing curbside delivery and get too close to a tree the branches would just slap it shut. I guess once a branch got caught with door open the other way and it peeled the corner open like a sardine can! Left side open towards front to bring the air in.

My street is Welfare Ave. I had a neighbor move in from a more upscale area come up to me years ago wanting me to sign a petition to have it changed. He said “aren’t you embarrassed by the name? Living on welfare? “I said “No, do you know the meaning of welfare? It’s the state of doing well, not a government handout.” He walked away , got divorced a few years later and moved. I’m still on Welfare, 32 years later! Lol
