for doing such a great job delivering all my posters I've bought. He always makes sure they are put someplace safe if nobody is home. And he's a PJ fan. :D

    My mailman can do whatever he wants with his 20$.


    Besides 10$ is kinda cheap.

    Mine gets nothing. She keeps giving me this other guy's mail that I have to drive over to his house every other day. :p

    now your mail comes 1.5 seconds earlier.

    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    my brother is a mail carrier....has been for about 20 years.
    underpaid federal worker? hardly...he's makes a sh*tload of money.
    technically, he's not supposed to accept tips, gifts, etc. but he does
    and last year took in over $1,000 in cash tips alone!
    he gets every major holiday off, & has extremely awesome health benefits. sure, he's got a 350+ house route that he walks everyday, rain or shine, but that's his choice. he said the best gift his customers can give him is to shovel their front walks.

    the brother of our neighbor works for the trash company that picks up our garbage. they make more money than you think. again, their job isn't glamorous but it's their choice that they do that for a living.

    My mailman has a cushy job, he doesn't even have to get out of his truck to drop off my mail !

    God forbid you park a little too close to the mailbox he will skip your delivery that day instead of getting his lazy ass out of the truck !!

    $20 for the mailman and my pet sitter.....
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Mine won't shut my mailbox all the way and it's rusting out on the inside. Plus the mail gets wet. I wrote a polite note, but to no avail.....and no tip (not that I would tip a mailman anyway)
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    that was how our mailman was back at my parents house...now I never see the mail mail...we have those community boxes since we're in a townhouse.

    I'd be careful if I were you. Mailmen are all part of a secret society that know you're every movement and most intimate, confidential secrets.
    If you're not careful, you may one day find yourself surrounded by a group of 'friends' who are all actually posing under fake identities while harbouring heinous intentions.
    Never fuck with postmen! They know where you live!

    so i take it tipping is a big thing over in America? and you have the same postie every day? that's funny to me 1. i would not know what the postie looked like if i fell over him 2. I can't say i'd even ever think of tipping a postie.. and 3. I got nothin... and 4,. i think our posties ride motorbikes...
