Went to mail a package today and was amazed at the amount of retardation in line. Directly in front of me in line was T-shirt man. Just a T-shirt and nothing else. Waiting to get to the counter so he can be instructed on how to label and box a package. In front of him was duct tape boy. He had no clue why all his duct tape was coming off a well used carton that was way to large and beat up to ship his contents. At the counter was return address lady who for some reason does not understand how to properly label a package to ship (although it was well taped with the correct tape and practically an entire roll of packaging tape).
WTF!!! Is how a post office works 101 not taught in fucking school anymore ??  It turned my 5 minute trip into a half hour because I showed up behind three retards ! I just don't fucking get it I guess. I learned about the post office by age 10. These fucking retards were all in there twenty's. How fucking hard is it to select a proper box, use correct tape and properly label the fucking box ???!!! Oh, and be fucking ready by the time you get to the counter so you don't hold up non retards behind you !! Maybe I am just a grumpy old guy...
Rant over.

Most of the people you see waiting in line are the same people who aren't smart enough to buy stamps or create a shipment online. I'm just messin' with ya.
Actually, I think I can top you. I went in there the other day to ask if they still accepted firearms shipments (long guns). 30 minutes later ALL of the people that were working the counter had gone to the back for a quick meeting to try and figure out IF they did in fact accept such shipments, at the end of which they bring a form to fill out that starts with (and I shit you not): "I hereby affirm that I am a licensed manufacturer of firearms..." This was after I had told them I was not an FFL (and then I had to explain what an FFL is) meanwhile the line is growing out the front door, and I'm somehow the bad guy because these people have no fucking clue whether they accept such shipments or not. The funny thing is, if I would have just gone in there and kept my mouth shut, they would have shipped it no problem I'm sure of it. |

If you go back on Tuesday you'll see a bunch of people standing in line with their tax returns when they could just drop them in the box because, you know, they want to make sure they're postmarked on April 15th. No wonder the fucking post office is losing money. They spend 15 minutes every fucking package instructing retards how a post office works !! I would send the illiterate out of the fucking door and wait on the next customer who actually has his shit together ! I was really pissed off and took it out on the counter lady. I felt bad about that but she should have sent these fucking retards out the door until they can learn post office 101 !! OK, Now I feel better...

One of the few places that I interact with the idiots that make up 52% of the community.
The post office and in the grocery store are where I hate life most often. Thankfully the military base I work at has a tiny 500 sq.ft. one person post office so I only have to go to the public post office to pick up my Deal-Extreme packages. |

Yeaoup! Recently I was behind some Mezkin woman, I would say, 30ish, mailing 'A' letter and wanting to buy "A" stamp. But the Mezkin lady wanted the clerk to post mark the letter before buying the stamp. It took a good 15 minutes for the clerk to get this Mezkin woman to understand she actually had to buy the, singular. one,.stamp first, then the, one, singular, letter would get a postmark.
What rock do these people crawl out from under, having never had to mail a Fn letter in their moronic worthless existence on this planet. |

Probably the same ones for whom it would be an unfair burden to require a driver's license or state ID for voting.

Customer goes to counter w/hold mail form:
Customer: I'd like to pick up my hold mail. Clerk (checks for held mail, comes back): I'm sorry, sir, there is no hold mail. Customer: Why not? It says right here on the form for you to start holding my mail 3 days ago. Clerk: Sir, when did you give us the hold mail form? Customer (looking disgruntled): It doesn't matter. Clerk (looking puzzled): Sir, if you haven't given us the hold mail form yet, how are we to know that you wanted us to hold your mail? Customer (looks at clerk as though he can't add 2+2): BECAUSE IT SAYS RIGHT HERE ON THE FORM FOR YOU TO START HOLDING MY MAIL 3 DAYS AGO!!! ---------------- Customer to clerk: I need to pick up my welfare check early today because we're leaving on vacation to Las Vegas. ---------------- Customer to clerk: Why are you sending my mail back? Clerk: Did you move recently, ma'am? Customer: Yes, a few weeks ago, why? Clerk: Did you give us a change of address card? Customer: No, I thought you'd notify all my friends. ---------------- (I've seen this or variations of it while waiting in line more times than I can remember): Clerk: Please sign and print your name in the box then press "accept". Customer: (signs name then presses accept) Clerk: Please SIGN and PRINT your name in the box then press "accept", we need them both, please. Customer: (signs name then presses accept) Clerk: Sir/Ma'am, I need you to sign your name AND print your name in the same box BEFORE pressing "accept", please. Customer: (prints name then presses accept...) Ad infinitum... ----------------- I swear that when I retire my favorite form of entertainment will be to stand in line at the local PO (if the general downward trend in customer IQ/common sense doesn't depress me...)

 If the game developers get on the stick, more people will be able to function in public.  Can you imagine the long lines at midnight when "Grand Theft Post Office" gets released or perhaps "Super Mario Goes Postal"....maybe "Call Of Packaging - High Altitude Low Fiberglass Tape v2.0". |

I Loath nothing more than the PO. Here is a snapshot of my last adventure for Passports
1st visit Fill out forms, told to re-do because blue ink Re do in black ink, told to re do because one fucking letter was crossed off and corrected. Told them to FO and left. 2nd visit to a different post office Get in line at 330. Told they don't do passports after 3pm. 4 other people groan as they had to fucking wait in line and no one told them Went to a county rec office and got everything done in 10 minutes with a woman who's sole purpose in life wasn't to be a fucking cunt and say no all the time. Wife made an error at the end of the application and was near tears at the prospect of having to do it all over, and was told to just put a line through and correct. I wanted to throat punch the bitch from trip one at that point 
TL/DR Fuck the PO, fuck them straight to hell. |

I shake my head when I go to the post office to pick up packages. People are so unprepared and act like they've never used a post office.
I feel like the post office should have two lines. One for people whose are there only because what they need can't do done any other way, and one for retards. |

One line if you have no fucking clue about a post office and one where it is expected your package is ready and labeled to go. I guess that would be racist under the new administration...

| "I went to the post office the yesterday. The post office is now beyond slow, it's inert. The Wilfred Brimley on 33 and a third look alike behind the counter went into the back room, which by the way must be a fucking time space portal, he was then able to Fitzcarraldo my registered letter out to me in a mere 8 and one half minutes. You know ironically in our highly driven culture it would appear the only people not interested in pushing the envelope are postal employees." - Dennis Miller |

Wait... just a tshirt? No pants or shorts?
And duct tape? Holy fuck. Did they even let him ship it? and frankly this is why I often go to the UPS store before the USPS. (the one here ships both) |

I was never "taught", but after a lifetime of looking at countless packages I sorta got a clue. It's like so many people can read certain words thousands of times over the years but they can't spell that word when they write or type it. It doesn't stick, doesn't register. I'll never understand that. Sort of like this, only not as incredibly stupid.  |
