First amendment to the Constitution? Who decided mailbox stickers cannot be political or say what you believe.

Mailbox Graffiti - it's a Yankee thang! Brings back a little piece of home from anywhere above the Mason-Dixon Line.

Why, when I clearly stated that I had trouble getting my mailbox number after purchasing my house did you

1. Decide to disbelieve me?
2. Decide to post your disbelief publicly?

As I stated that was what we received for the our four houses, 3 new one preowned.
At sell of our last two home we were instructed to leaved Keys on counter, which we left In the original envelope from closing.

If one doesn’t question that vital information is missing at closing, then that’s on the buyer.
If no keys are left at preowned, then simple trip to local Postoffice for mail box number and new locks and keys provided will be installed.

Our garage door openers were missing at preowned. Just stopped at Romac and bought new ones, gave us sheet to program, issue fixed. Not a big deal, definitely didn’t get upset that they were missing. There are better things to think about, that one cannot fix

Giving info on our experience is just that. Seems you made your experience public once you posted on any public forum.

Are those bangers members of the mailbox police? Asking for a friend.

Political Stickers
 
At the LaBelle postal station, there were some that had political stickers. All of those were removed but other stickers were allowed to remain. That's a good policy.

I think that they are ugly!

My parents taught me to respect other people's property. The mailboxes are some else's property, you do not have the right to deface that property. Using the justifications espoused in this thread, I guess it would be permissible for anyone to put their favorite whimsical or funny sticker on your house or car, right? Apparently, entitlement trumps good manners and proper morals.

In our villages it's been "allowed" for 18 years. No one seems to mind (?) but maybe they do and just "suck it up" ? We have really enjoyed having NO sticker as it helps us find our immediately...LOL ! Only there for literally seconds each day, so frankly the variety of alma maters, favorite teams, home state stickers, etc. is kind of interesting and certainly doesn't interfere with my life in a meaningful way ! ?

I wouldn't bother responding to this, but if you take away the golf course complaints (newsflash, the issues have not been and will not be resolved by posting about it more on ToTV) and annoying comments like one, maybe some productive comments will show up on here.

And since you took the time to be annoying by pointing out the mailbox stickers, I'll note you spelled "their" incorrectly. One irrelevant annoying point deserves another in response.

Haha! Thank you..always been a horrible speller.

Not sure I understand, but that's happened to me before. I think MANY people do but whimsical and personally meaningful, stickers and other symbols on their cars and homes( garden flags, favorite team symbols, bumper stickers and window stickers of their preferred political candidate, their choice, even Christians putting small crosses near their homes. To me, putting an NHL team sticker on a pigeon hole mailbox that is NOT in a federal post office, is not really akin to spray painting a statue in the courthouse or spray painting offensive words on public sidewalks, but that's just one opinion !

My wife and I played a lot of league tennis in years past. In one tournament we were matched against a couple with obvious accents. As we met at the net just before the start of the match I commented to the guy that I had a hard time understanding an Australian accent. He replied, very frostily, "I'm British". Don't know why that irritated him.

There is a lot of history, and cricket and rugby hasn't helped.
Next time you meet an Aussie, ask to see their shackle marks! :boxing2:
