Are they actually talking or do they just have the phone to their ear?
I'm convinced a lot of people just walk around holding a phone up so they don't have to talk to anyone. Women alone will sometimes have a phone in their hand and put it up to their ear whenever someone is near, like in a grocery aisle or a parking lot. It doesn't ring, they don't say hello or talk, they just all of a sudden put it to their ear to act like they're busy talking to someone. I used to do this at my old job every time I walked by the managers office.  Weren't you your manager?  Not at this place.

Never had it happen with any of our delivery drivers.
Every time a new driver pulls up they always ask the same question; do the dogs bite?
I always give the same answer; they haven’t bit anyone yet.

Being a mail person is not what it once was. Turn it over to UPS, Amazon, or Fed Ex. The same people may deliver the mail, but they will be held accountable. USPS is supposed to be privatized, but it ain't.

Our mailman's the best. I live almost 1/2 mile from our box out on the county road and he'll drive down our driveway periodically to deliver. Anytime we have a package to big for our big box he brings it out. I have no complaints. He's even the local Pentecostal preacher and doesn't attempt to proselytize. I have no complaints with my mail delivery.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

The union guys are thugs.
The contract hourly rural carriers are great.

We had a great mail carrier....then she went to work at the post office counter for several years...I think she's back delivering now, because we've actually had good luck getting our mail and the packages are back to being delivered at our door.

We are on a rural route, our mail carrier is a good guy but when he as to deliver a package to the house he u-turns in the driveway then drops it on the ground. He is better than the first one we had would not even drive down the street to deliver. We had to go to the post to pick it up.
