96. Hell mine won't even drive down my DRIVEWAY.

Fri Oct 4, 2013, 02:24 PM

Oct 2013

I have a mailbox on a post at the end of my driveway and half the time he leaves the package on the curb next to the mailbox (50 yards from the house).

You can literally drive TO MY FRONT DOOR and he won't do it. Just leaves them up by the road, where any passerby could take them.

The last mail carrier I had always brought the packages down the driveway and left them on the front porch.
