I check my box every day when I get home from work. ---

[QUOTE=vix] We **get** mail six days a week. Maybe once or twice a year, there’s nothing, but most days there’s at least some junk mail or a catalog. I **check** the mail daily, always hoping for something interesting. [/QUOTE] Same here. I’m surprised at how many people don’t check their mail every day. I guess that this is just the routine I’ve grown up with. ---

I check the mailbox on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My roommate supposedly checks the mailbox Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and sometimes actually does. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-often-do-you-check-your-mail/383329.md?page=2)
