He is the *exact* opposite of our mailman. This week, one on the contractors parked near the mailbox, so our mailman didn’t have room to just pull up next to the box. Instead, he would have to *gasp* get out of his car— as he has to do for the nearby neighborhoods and as he does when there is a large package. But being his typically lazy, picky self, he just didn’t deliver our mail and when he finally did deliver a large stack, he left us a note complaining about the situation.

It looks like in the Postal Workers handbook, the postmaster can stop delivery of mail if the mailbox is obstructed and it is unsafe for the mail carrier. So officially, he could be deemed in the scope of his job.

But unofficially, come on now. Look around. Obviously having hardwood floor trucks outside our house is not an every day occurence. Obviously, there is something out of the ordinary going on. You can’t just suck it up for a couple of days and put the mail in the box (which by the way was not fully obstructed and certainly wasn’t unsafe)?

Jerk.
