The U.S. Postal Service - a Complete and Total Disgrace

[Captain Creeper]

Last week I received what appeared to be a Christmas card incorrectly placed in my mailbox. It was addressed in handwriting to a retired Brigadier General, and the return address was to a man identify as a retired colonel. I live in a military town, btw. I received this, not the least bit surprised that our post office had fucked up yet again. The street address on the envelope was the same number as my street address, though the name of the streets are very different. Also, the first names of the addressee and myself are a little bit (LITTLE bit) similar, though I am not military and, therefore, have no such titles.

I went to the post office the day after I received this lost mailing and re-mailed it. Imagine my surprise when I received the same envelope in the mail AGAIN yesterday! Now the USPS had fucked up twice on the same item. LOSERS!!!!

So, I was just going to look up the address and deliver it to the correct mailbox. While looking (my assistant was actually looking at my direction while I posted shit on here and keep checking my stocks) it appears that the addressee passed away in February of 2025. So, they were obviously not close. But clearly there was affection to the level of sending an annual Christmas card. He was survived by a wife, but it appears that nobody lives in the house anymore to where the envelope was addressed.

So, I have 2 choices. First, I can take it back to the post office so they can re-deliver it to me a third time; or I return it to the sender. I figure I would enclose a little note saying, "Sorry, this was sent to me; I tried to deliver to the intended recipient but was unable to do so because it appears he may have passed away."

I normally would not be so concerned about seeing this through. But I have respect for the military, and especially someone of such a rank. I will not lie; if the addressee was "Tyrone Muhammad Black", or the address was to a penitentiary, then I would have tossed it already. But here I feel some sort of responsibility to get this piece of mail to where it should go. Unfortunately, the USPS lacks such feeling of responsibility.

Return to sender. Don't mention what you assume.

Admit it. You took $100 bill out of the card and threw it in the trash.

try writing delivered to wrong address on the envelope....you either dont have a regular or you have subs who dont pay attention and if you do have a regular he should have caught it the ist time a second time definitely he should have, if he let it get by him twice... ...you have a shitty carrier....

I gave up on the P.O. Box. Terrible service! The home deliver is somewhat better.

They handle millions of mailpieces a day. A few get mis-directed.

Clearly not a “total disgrace”.

Socialism. I thought we lived in America!

I constantly get my neighbors mail and sometimes the same house number but blocks away.
The post office also lost an insurance refund check worth 3 grand and had to have insurance company resend the check. That was a 6 week ordeal when I needed that refund back in escrow.

Get rid of them. They just deliver junk mail to let thieves know if you are home.

Yeah, that is probably best.

I certainly could live without the dozen credit offers a week.

TWICE they delivered it to the wrong address. That is disgraceful. I guess I have higher standards than you.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Just the other day, I had a package delivered to my front porch, along with several other package. The postman must have had dyslexia because he reversed the digits in the address, so I drove it down the street. I live at 445 and the correct address was 455.
