celticeagle @celticeagle (189819) • Boise, Idaho 21 Apr 22

At the beginning of the month, when I got groceries, I added a specialty bag of chocolates to it. I noticed that it would be shipped, not the usual delivery status. I didn't think that much of it, as this has been done before and...

I really wish they'd stop doing this

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 26 Jan 21

USPS driver saves packages from being burned in Kansas

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (122070) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 27 Dec 19

To the best of my knowledge, since Sunday is an off day for employees of the United States Postal Service, it is kind of odd for a delivery driver to take packages on the days before Christmas. However an unusual story that comes...
