Yep, with the snowbirds gone there just isn't enough to whine about.

I'm glad this isn't the first thread I ever read on TOTV.

But lots of Steeler stickers?

How about a sticker on your dog. Lots of talk here on TOTV about dogs, must be millions of them, a sticker would help you to find yours. Better yet, have the dog swallow a sticker then you would know what poop to clean up.
I think I will open a villages sticker shop, seems there is a big demand

We don't place stickers on our golf balls but we do mark them so we can differentiate from others on the course. If the sticker does not interfere with the operation of the box then what har. Also some folks have a medical reason to use stickers as markers...remember our age group. i have seen where folks have gone to Publix walked out with a cart full of groceries and drove off with the bags of groceries still in the cart. Also have witness five different times in five years were people left their keys in the post ofic ebox the folks at the Wellness Center encouraged members to add a sticker to their pad locks, especially the ones they were selling since they were all alike.

It appears that other than the USPS had removed these stickers based on earlier post ings. Since it has not occurred in other villages then it is local. It may be that it comes down to an individual or a decision made by the reprsentatives in that region

I am about as fussy as one can get and i like rules but rules that make sense. I will respect and not critique what others do as long as it is not illegal...and I thought someone wrote that the USPS didn't car

By tne way be sure to use D-40 on your key lock to keep it lubricated so the key will turn easy

Default Door Number One, Door Number Two or Door Number Three?

We don't have a sticker. We just keep trying our key until one of the boxes opens.

Default Ode to Mailbox Artifacts

Stickers, Stickers everywhere,
What a sight to see,
Yes, they help me find my box,
Please just let them be!

They don’t really even look that bad,
Not every box is stickered,
My next door neighbor has one on his,
Which helps me find my box much quicker!

I knew that they were pasted there,
When I bought here in T.V,
It was no surprise at all,
Might have been for you, not me!

I looked around before I bought,
Few surprises did I face,
I knew that stickers were on the boxes,
And the Buffalo had been displaced!
(thought I’d work in another hot button issue)

Frankie say "Relax"
Enjoy life, Don't sweat the little stuff!

Methinks me read some words of wisdom,
Right here on this thread,
How can stickers on boxes cause such a schism?
I'd rather be golfing instead.

Rubicon,
I wouldn't bet on it...

I golfed Saturday, Sunday and today,
This Wednesday and Saturday I play.
I might do just fine,
Or I might lose my mind.
... Ain't that why they make Chardonnay?

We can all relate. I'll toast to that.

I'm going to put a matching sticker on my mailbox key so i know which sticker is mine at the postal station. But if I do that I'll have to put different stickers on each key so I know which one is the mailbox key. This could be bad - where does it end!

I see some of the oddest behavior only in TV

Well, you could put a sticker on your toilet seat to make sure that the seats not up when you go to sit down on it!
