Of course our problems are first world problems. Why are people saying that? They are not Martian problems. We are not Martians.

You are right. Junk mail is trash.

Not so sure about those Martians.

NY Yankees have a minor leaguer nicknamed the Martian.

Who tells people not to put their junk mail in the post office trash containers? I believe that's exactly what they are for.

Have a nice day. 😉✌

Yeah, that was the only other option... You got me...

You are aware of the terms "First World Country" and Third World Country", aren't you?

Yes, but why would someone be surprised that people in the first world have first world problems?To me it sounds odd. It’s a bit like a female having “female” problems. Or the Ukrainians have Ukrainian problems. I guess I am not used to the term.

Then you don't understand the premise...

In first world countries, "first world problems" pale in comparison the those in third world countries...

CFrance not making work for the PO but what are they suppose to do with something they don’t want? I do understand the PO are just delivering mail, but you didn’t say why they’re trash cans sitting there. It’s for trash just like we have in our homes! Not trying to pick a fight but I still put things I don’t ask for in the outgoing mail. Then what do you suppose the PO does with it?

I see, the term tries to demean first world people…. Interesting. And that is not political? English is not my first language, so I miss nuances sometimes.

I take all my mail home and sort it where I can destroy my name and address on junk mail. I don’t want my name and address in postal station trash can.

The federal government does not run the post office.
