First you bring me a stack of movies in the middle of finals week. Now that I have a month off and nothing to do, you’ve failed to get another package to me from an adjacent state for a week now! This ALWAYS happens when I try to get something to fill up my empty time!
And somewhere, a disgruntled USPS worker loads his shotgun…
Better not pout, motherfucker!!
Three months and four phone calls, and I still can’t get them to forward my damn mail.
Shotguns? Just try it.
… have you gone into the P.O. and filled out their nice little change of address forms? I know my local office won’t do much based on phone calls.
The reason the Post Office won’t accept Changes of Address over the phone is because you wouldn’t believe the numbers of ex-wives, ex-husbands, old boyfriends, former girlfriends, and recently laid-off factory workers who think it would be stone hilarious to call the Post Office and have their ex-husband’s/ex-wife’s/old girlfriend’s/former boyfriend’s/factory supervisor’s mail forwarded to Moosefuck, Alaska.
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift ass-fucking of a Space Vampire.”
Better than forwarding your Ex’s mail to Moosefuck, is telling the carrier they DIED!
I’ve had people do just that. That’s why unless I’ve seen the death certificate or the body, I don’t mark anything “deceased”. Most actually dead peoples family forward their mail to the next of kin or the executor.
And no you cannot put “deceased” on a change of address form as the new address.
Although I DID have someone forward their dead mothers mail to the cemetary, using her plot number as an apartment number. THAT was at least clever.
Absolutely I did, before I left. I still have the confirmation letter they mailed me to my new address, and they say they have the request in their files.
Kind of hard to go back in person, since I’m now approximately 430 miles from my last address.
Well drewbert, I guess there’s nothing left to say except “Fuck You, USPS”! Those cocksmokers.
Lest anyone get too touchy, I am a postal employee’s spouse and therefore can get away with (a certain amount of) these assertations.
I filled out a change of address form about 6 months ago, and I have yet to receive a letter forwarded from my old address. My wife says it’s because I turned in the change of address form at the post office near where I live now, not at the one in my old town - aren’t they supposed to have some kind of national database for these?
Every time I’ve filled out that form, it instructed me to mail it to the post office of the old address, as that’s where the mail is forwarded FROM. But maybe I’m remembering it wrong.
Anywho, it seems sensible the OLD post office would be the one that would need the info more than the new P.O., because mail with your old address would be going through the old P.O. for processing.
