Otherwise known as any branch of the

Otherwise known as any branch of the US Post Office. What is it with our official mail system that turns people into morons? Maybe "turns people into morons" isn't the right phrase; how about "greatly enhances and evokes their moron-like tendencies"? Yeah, that works better.

Went to the base Post Office a few minutes so got the prime parking spot, and as I walked getting out with my sister packages to mail (already sealed and labeled, and I'm shipping them first class, get outta my way!) two pregnant girls (you can tell in the Nav because after the first five they wear their shirts untucked) got in front of ג€˜The-Man-Who-Defeated-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Namedג€™, Arrgghhh! Whenver ANYONE gets in front of ג€˜The-Man-Who-Defeated-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Namedג€™, at the PO they are morons.

The two girls were doing to mail one package, fairly large. The girl carrying it put the box on the counter and just let it sit there, and stared at the clerk. Here's the thing: her box had no label or writing on it, and it wasn't even closed. It had the temporary-close done on it where you are the corners of ten flaps underneath the next flap. And now there was a standoff: the two girls were saying anything and the clerk was dumbfounded. After about 10 seconds he told them they package wasn't ready to mail, it needed to be taped closed. It took a few seconds they that to sink in, and then dos pregnantos took their box over to a table and motioned I was getting weary my car after my speedy transaction (if you have to have tie in front of ג€˜The-Man-Who-Defeated-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Namedג€™, in a line, you want me), I saw them waddling out still toting the unsealed box.

Sometimes, people baffle me.
