How many of you have lazy postal carriers? We used to have an awesome carrier but the one we have have had for about the last seven years just plain sucks. I used to try to give him the benefit of the doubt but this last week I'm pretty sure he has confirmed to me that he is on the lazy side. To start off I have four dogs. They are kept inside the house or in the fenced backyard. People can rarely ever come up to my house without them alerting and when our old mail carrier retired and we got the one we have now and when he first started he alerted the dogs every time. He has became very stealthy at delivering the mail and not alerting the dogs and I applaud him for this for it's not an easy task, but that's not where the problem lies.
The issue is we have be receiving more of the 'Sorry we missed you" slips in our mail box lately when we have certified mail. Now at first I thought maybe I just didn't hear him, or I was in the shower, or I wasn't home or something like that. And I'm sure that could have happened some of these times but I know it isn't true for at least the last two times I receive the old dreaded "Sorry we missed you" slip. For starters if he had knocked my dogs would have surely alerted me and secondly I know for a fact I was in my living room the last couple times this happened because I heard him drive off. One of these time I actually got in my car and caught up with him in his Jeep in my neighborhood and retrieved my certified mail.
This is not to mention just the other day when I had a couple hounded dollars worth of computer parts delivered from Newegg that he just put on the from porch without knocking either when it only would have taken a couple of seconds. Good thing I heard him drive off then before some would be thief seen them sitting there for the taking.
Rant over.
Any of you have good or bad mail carriers?
