Adventure at the post Office...

LOL. I know just how you feel, though it my case, I think it's just old age slowing down the mental agility to remember that just because our stores are open 24/7 and on holidays, doesn't mean the government employees are working too! ROFL

I had an appointment to have my hair cut once and, when I got there, the place was closed. There was a note on the door saying "It's such a nice day today that I thought I'd go fishing." Boy! Was I mad!!! This place was about 20 miles from my home and I didn't have money to waste on gas. I wrote the guy a note back that expressed my sentiment about his going fishing and not notifying me before I left the house. I let him know that I wouldn't be back. I also received a notice to appear in court for a child support issue I had with my ex. The notice told me to appear on a specific date but that date was on a Sunday! I called the courthouse and told them that I was sure I'd be the only one there if I appeared on the date they had written. They corrected it. I'm glad I realized the error before I ventured out! Other than that, if there's a chance that something will be closed when I plan to go to it, I'll call or look it up before going, just to be sure.

Hello elitess. I don't have such an experience and I feel sorry that you did not get it because it was closed. I guess that you got it later on and are still enjoying the stuff you got. Good day, friend.

That is such a pain in the Rump I was supose to call my worker about my SSI on a friday so I waitted till fri an called an guess what Friday is her day off so I tried again monday an they said she only works tues thu thrsday must be nice to be her huh

HI THERE, yes, i have gone to places & found them closed. i'll have to admit it was very aggravating. Alot of the time if i had just stooped & thought about it i would have realized they were closed for a holiday or whatever so that's evn worse to be aggravated w/yourself, lol.

Yup. i experience it and it is annoying when my brother send me money and i think it is half day the shop still open. when i went their it is already close could not get the money.

well,i do not really remember but it really sucks that these offices also remain closed when we get a holiday!!!

Hi, elitess. Yes, this has happened to me quite a bit. But I have gotten into the habit of calling places before I decide to go there. I do this so much when I am home. I will call a store just to ask them their business hours. I don't want to waste my time and gas going over there only to find that they are not open. I am sorry that you missed the Post Office this morning. Maybe you can catch up with them tomorrow.

Happy National Day to you!^_^ I think that has happened to me many times that I couldnt even remember just how many or on what specific occasion that it has happened. Whenever that happens, I think it would be those times when: - I dont have any contact with the office that I cant confirm whether they're open or not. - I just remembered that I need to pick up something so I go there on a whim hoping that it was open. - I have some business to attend to at a government office but only just remembered that its a weekend when Im already at the gate. - I wish to go to some place and forgot that they only open at ___ or are already closed at __. - I forgot that today is an official holiday and most of the offices are closed. That's about all the scenarios I could think of that that could possibly happen. Happy Holidays!^_^

hi elitess, I haven't been caught short as in our country when its Bank holiday most of the offices, Banks and post offices are shut, but suppermarkests are all open so I know as not to go to thosed place that are shut. Tamara

There's a couple of times when I went to a store thinking they open at 8am but they don't open till 9am. They usually announce on the News what businesses are closed on the Holidays so you don't make an unnecessary trip.

Yes i personally had bitter experience. One day i got up early in the morning and dressed myself with good casuals. I went to college to attend the classes and to chit chat with friends but when i entered into the premises i did not see any one and the caretaker reminded me that it was sunday.
