Curious, who is "you"?

Kindergarten is being bothered by something so trivial.

For me, I get a chuckle seeing all the different stickers when I pick up my mail. In the split second that the stickers actually cross my mind, I see who are sports fans, Disney fans, rainbow lovers, etc. I guess I'm an optimist - glass half full - look on the bright side kind of person.

Yea.
Yeah, that could work too. But for those who don't have the location and elevation programmed in to their GPS, they may be reading numbers on nearly identical boxes.
Imagine a lot full of identical cars and to find yours you have to walk the lot checking license plates. Easier and quicker if you had a scrunchy or tennis ball on the antenna so you could spot it from a distance, don't you think? |

Just out of curiosity, is it really that hard to remember your box number? It’s always in the same place.

Not really, for some.
For me, I have the exact location and number memorized. I am the one who most often gets the mail. Wife seldom gets the mail and to have a visual "marker" helps since she doesn't know the precise location or have the number memorized.

Looong number, going up and down (not the way we usually read), and in my case at the very bottom so you have to bend down to see it, low light in evening even more difficult to read. And then you wonder why people don’t use the number? The Villages is a city now population wise, it is time to get urban door to door delivery, and stop this rural type postal boxes service.

However I am tired of getting the previous owner's mail. Now I get 12 cremation letters every week instead of 6!

Lol, I challenge anyone to show me anyone who has been arrested or cited for putting a sticker on their own mailbox. What is the code section? What agency enforces this? USPS Postal Inspectors? They're about as likely to arrest for a street crime as the Secret Service. Vandalism? Not if it's my own mailbox. Ya know the mantra: "No victim, no crime."

I totally agree with watch dr. I don’t think the mailbox center is a place I bring guests to show off the beauty of The Villages. It is there for a purpose, that’s all. Riding by on the street they look nice and you don’t notice the stickers. Some people might need something to help their declining memory and mobility find their correct box. Some might like it because it is cute or meaningful to them. It’s not on yours, so get your mail and move on. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Some people love bumper stickers, some don’t, some antenna tie ones (scrunches or flowers), some not so much, go home read your mail and worry about real problems in life. Go visit a shelter, do help at a senior center, enjoy what little time you have left on this planet, and smell the roses. Live life to your fullest. The clock is ticking people......

Deep throat mail box conspiracy

And also to video the delivery drivers who kick the boxes into the smaller bins so that you can't fit a nickel in there and need wd 40 to get it out. Also video the delivery drivers with open doors who kick the red button to gain access thru the gates. |
