My postman is a barbarian.

Abjectly, I must confess, such techniques can be effective. On more than one occassion, I have been confronted with a demand for sex and have cravenly complied. But I am a spineless wretch with little or no self-esteem. She had her way with me, and that’s all there is to it!

Woe! Woe is me!

Methinks thou protest too much.
“Malbarian” is killing me. That might be the funniest thing I read since the wallabies getting high on the poppy fields yesterday.,

In the OP you said it was paperback.

Paperback was the mystery. I was upset when posting.

You didn’t mispost, Bosda–**percypercy **misread.

And you seem to have a lot of trouble getting laid. Perhaps you need to be less of a bullying bitch?

Edit: This was probably a bit too aggressive, but honestly you should leave Bosda alone and pick on someone your own tiddly size.

What crawled up your ass and died, dogface?

Note–postman came to my door today, & gently delivered my Frank Sinatra CD.

Some modern apartment buildings have, in addition to the individual mailboxes, several large, package-sized boxes below the regular boxes. When the postman has a package, he leaves it in one of these, and puts the key for that box in the persons individual mailbox. Then the customer opens that box, gets their package, and leaves the key back inside the box.

Real handy system – neither the postman nor the customer has to make an extra trip over to the apartment complex office, or try to get there during the time the office is open.

Maybe you should talk to your apartment complex about installing a system like this?

I’m afraid that this system would make far, far too much sense to see wide-spread implementation.

When I had a PO box, there was a similar system. I’d find a notification and key in my mailbox, I’d go over to the package-sized mailboxes, open up the correct one, and leave the key in the lock. I was happy because I could pick up my packages at 2 AM, the post office was happy because I wasn’t taking up a postal clerk’s time by presenting a notice and retrieving my package during their regular office hours.

This is what my building uses for small-to-medium USPS packages that are too large to fit in our mailboxes. Larger USPS packages and packages from all other carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.) are all signed for by the front office, which will then (a) hold onto them for you, (b) leave them outside your apartment, or © leave them just inside your apartment. Best system ever.

Same. However it’s not foolproof. I got a large manila envelope in my wee postbox for someone else, very distinctly marked “DO NOT BEND” on both sides.

It’d been folded in half to fit. :smack:

Do you think you could find a mailbox-sized beartrap to greet your mailcarrier next time? Or possibly rig the inside of your box to spray something caustic?

Either of those would probably qualify as a federal offense.

Register a complaint.

Thanks for clearing that up. :rolleyes:
