For different reasons, I have to collect parcels almost everyday at the post office and I am getting well fed up with the customers.
When there is a huge lineup:
– Don’t ask how much it costs to send “something” from the UK to Texas
– Don’t stand there chatting about the weather
– Don’t ask them to get your mail without your key
– Don’t ask them to fill out the address on an envelope for you
– Don’t be a dick —Charles Bukowski

What’s in your parcels? Babies from China?
I love chatting with the ladies at the post office!
going postal, fuck, i think you are already way past that one.
Can I add one? Have your method of payment ready. No excuse to stand in a line for 5 minutes babbling on the phone and then to bumble around in your purse for 5 more, looking for the debit card.
Totally unrelated but we got a parcel today from the in-laws and it was full of chocolate. YUM
I’d say #2 should be the golden rule. I can see that it’s raining outside, or sunny, or cloudy, or if it looks like snow, etc. Hurry the fuck up, grandma, no one gives a shit!
Even funnier is watching Parking Wars at the Impound Lot – now, there’s fucking nutters.
Most of the points could be tweaked to fit any situation where there are cattle calls for the public.
that’s why they have bullet-proof glass in the office b and b…nutters is right
