Our mail carrier has been going in circles lately

I am thinking we must have a new mail carrier, or a substitute carrier that isn't familiar with our area. Today I have seen the carrier go in circles twice, having to put more mail in the box that they had forgotten. I've seen them do the same thing yesterday as well.
I hope this carrier gets the hang of it soon, and that they are a better fit than what we have had in the past!
Have you seen anything weird going on lately?

That happens to new mail carriers here. It is just bad luck that the new carrier would always knock on our gate to inquire about the addresses that he couldn't find.

Oh wow. That's never happened here, I think they just put the mail in the wrong box and expect you to deliver it to the right one here.

@Alexandoy Okay I see. I think it's required to have a mailbox here.

@ScribbledAdNauseum the mailman rings our doorbell because we have no mailbox. If we had then they would just leave it there, like giving us the problem. That is the reason why we didn't put up a mailbox.

No news is good news, or so they say.

Well the mail is always off here as they never seem to keep the same mail person.
Weird? Around here? Just the neighbors next door

There is always someone coming and going from our neighbors house. It's a constant topic here in the house "Who was that that just left?" is what's mostly asked.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I had to get security cameras here there are so many of them.

@RebeccasFarm Oh! Well it's good you have those cameras. The only trespassers we have to worry about are the feline variety here.

I am not quite sure whether it will our new one, or if it's just a temporary one. Either way, I hope they figure it out soon. I hope it's a new one though, and hope they'll treat our packaged mail better than the last one did.

@rakski I agree with you, but they didn't treat our packages well.
We have about two that usually come around to give us our mail, or atleast I think we do. Now there seems to be a third person, and maybe they are our new carrier. They seem to bring the mail earlier too, which we are happy about.

I'm sure that is what it is. I'm also hoping that they aren't just a substitute driver. We need a driver that will actually care for our mail.

Oh dear. It must be amusing after a fashion though. Nothing too odd here

It's sort of amusing. I am hoping that if this is going to be our new mail carrier, they'll do a better job than our old one.

@FayeHazel For some reason I am now picturing a butler handing me my mail on a silver platter, one gloved hand behind his back, a finely trimmed moustache in the french style!

It's been a weird day here. Our neighbors (aka my cousin's husband's family) had an ambulance visit them earlier.

Nothing weird here. The mail carrier will get settled in.

Glad nothing weird is going on. I do hope that the carrier gets settled in soon. I am hoping it's a new carrier that will do a good job.
