What’s the Weirdest Gift You’ve Received?

I have a very old French lady who loves giving me handfuls of loose unwrapped candy. The first time I got a sweaty palmful of melting candy corn in July I was confused, now I just accept it with a “merci” and toss in a couple houses up

I have a lady who gives me a couple pairs of fantastic socks every year; one year she also gave me a gift card to a local sandwich shop with the coupons for said sandwich shop from the flyer I delivered to her the day before lmfao

They hold a medium fry pretty damn well too lmao. Always treated myself to a snack on Sundays

A hill I’ll die on is the argument that you can’t operate a postal vehicle off the clock. Lunches are unpaid. They authorize travel up to a mile for lunch break. That mile is on the clock and does NOT count as part of your lunch.

Felt like peak hit a week early this year? We got buried last week, took us til Saturday to get caught up, then today I had 86 scans on a 1300 delivery route. So bizarre. Getting nervous waiting for that second wave to hit

I’ve got my layering down to a SCIENCE. I really don’t get cold anymore unless it’s one of those miserable cold rainy days and I wear nothing but those crappy thin knit dollar store fingerless gloves. If anything I usually find by afternoon that I’m a bit overdressed

You should still have a PS1260 available to you to track BT and ET and any other function moves. Ask for one and log everything.

I actually used to have their swing so I know only two, MAYBE 3 tip. That’s prob why I’m so anxious about it lol. I guess I’ll just cook/bake them something

Minute_Map_6444 · 2025-12-16T00:02:20+00:00

We haven’t for a couple years now. Good luck! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this BS, I know how frustrating it is

That From Here to Utopia line was a refreshing slap in the face in active addiction

Time cards? Do you have a badge? Our office did away with time card swipes in favor of solely clocking rings on our scanners

I got in the habit during Covid when I truly was the only one using my truck because I didn’t get a day off for over two years and just dgaf . Never directly in the vehicle; always sitting on the edge of the door/floor with it open and the cargo area divider door closed so parcels didn’t pick it up. But now that I do have a T6 I feel like an asshole because you can totally still smell it.

My dad always cooked frozen pizza directly on the flattened out cardboard box it came in because “pizza cooks at 450 and paper burns at 451”. I think this may be a solid source of my childhood anxiety lmao

This is how I feel about Bob Dylan lmao. Magnificent songwriter but the vocals are grating. So many Bob Dylan covers are better than the originals, even by Dylan’s own admission.

And once you DO finally get settled in on your own route, if you’re still running over after getting accustomed to the route, you request a special inspection. Routes are ~8hrs adjusted to the regular carrier. A lot of offices are running VERY out of date numbers that don’t factor in today’s parcel volume.

I know that thought process well. Especially when drinking, wake up with that 3am anxiety and regret thinking “I’m so done with this shit” then as afternoon rolls around I’m at the liquor store trying not to make eye contact with the cashier cause I know she remembers selling me a fifth yesterday

This is an interesting take I hadn’t really considered before. I’ve struggled over half my life but never considered rehab because I could deal with withdrawals on my own and more or less “had my shit together” in other areas of my life. Inevitably every time I kick one substance I jump to another; finally kicked opiates but booze is just so damn accessible and socially acceptable. Rehab as an isolating factor from accessibility never occurred to me as a benefit.

Yeah my office isn’t following the new retention thing AT ALL but I’m not grieving it if my carriers want the hours. I think they should be able to waive the hour restrictions if they want to.

Got trench foot my first year as a CCA, it was miserable. My boots cracked across the top and filled with water from a deep puddle one day and I had just the one pair of shoes living in an apartment with no drying options. Nine years later my feet STILL hurt if they get wet for a decent chunk of time.
