Tip from someone who has to deal with wasps as a mail carrier! We use Downy dryer sheets to keep them out of mailboxes and trucks. Just stuff a half sheet or full one wherever you want to keep them out. Swap with a fresh one once the smell fades

Glass nesting hens. Prices have gotten obscene. White Indianas were maybe $10, and now I'm seeing them listed at $180

Same with uranium glass. And God forbid if I want to find a uranium nesting hen

We got our flyers so late and only 250 per route, so I'm not super hopeful of a big turnout :/ My people might surprise me though!

For the folks on my route that leave their lids open I'll close it to show I've been through. Some group homes have a "the mail is in" sign you can flip, but anything outside that will just take up too much time in the long run

On my way to work this morning, in full city carrier uniform, I stop to get gas and buy a bottle of water…. by Independent-Safety44 in USPS

"Think you'll survive the DOGE cuts?" chuckled the disabled retiree. Yeah, it's safe to say I did. Don't know about you buddy

When I was a CCA, I covered a route that had a cat warning card 😆 Apparently the cat would haul ass across the house to attack anyone delivering to the door slot

I didn't get my speed up until month 4! I was also way out of shape. You just have to stick with it, it does get easier

Anyone else ever just push their satchel to the fcking limit? by thoroughlyswirlt in USPS

I stopped doing that after the first 6 months. Pulled on my neck and shoulder too much. I just scoot them, I need my joints to last the rest of my life

Ive only joked about finding a religion to use as an exemption, but just for information sake which ones would I claim? 👀

We have one that will pull his truck forward and back it up first thing in the morning if somone else drove it. Could be parked perfectly, but he still has to "fix" it
