menepausal women who take the reins at the local post office  

I would try to find a different post office...or start including the cost of using UPS or Fed Ex because these companies will pick up right from your house.

I have to say, that in my experience their are a lot of women of a certain age that turn into the worst little Hitlers with a modicum of authority. I hadn't considered it but perhaps the reason is menopause?

if you think thats bad youve never visited the west Virginia motor vehicle dept !

Interesting. So if middle age women get to pawn off their irritating ways on menopause what excuse do middle age men get to use for their irritating ways?

Seems to me that I run into just as many crabby men as I do women. And with the men I can throw in the issue of superiority. They of course know more than women by virtue of the fact that they are MEN.

I never let it bother me though. I always worked in men's fields since I worked in construction and I do understand men better than I understand women.

Why don't you just go to their boss and say something instead of harbouring this anger? Or, just say something straight to the women. There are diplomatic ways of taking care of situations like that. It seems kind of weird to go there week after week and not do something.

Worst of all seem to be those that work in admin of the local university here. Not only are they incompetent at their job and rude but they extract great pleasure from intimidating students and treating them in a derogatory and humiliating manner. As a mature student at university I have to say these despicable wretches would not last five minutes if they had to deal with mature adults regularly.

Not far behind are employees of the local council.

Both these groups practice deceit, double speak and injustice, they are a blight on society.
