Which is fubby, cuz all our mailmen who actually deliver the mail have been really nice......weird......and it's worse now here since they centralized the phone number so you can't actually call your home branch to ask questions, you get sent to central customer service and those people are REAL assclowns......at least all the ones I've talked to are. |
The ones that deliver prolly volunteered for that job to get away from the ignoranuses that man the counter. Our last year's guy was really nice. This year's is a little more serious.

I'm surprised Green Bay isn't on the list...the saying about Green Bay is that if a Brinks trunk ever lost all it's money on the highway, people would get out and help, and they would collect $20 more than what was started with.
Ok, maybe Green Bay isn't the best mannered, but they sure are the nicest. (This is being compared to Madison, where I am from)
