Brickbat: Special Delivery

WINK News

The U.S. Postal Service has fired a postal carrier who dumped hundreds of pieces of mail into a Lee County, Florida, dumpster, and she could face federal charges. The owner of a nearby pizzeria saw the carrier, whose name wasn't released by the postal service, dump an entire bin of mail containing bills, letters and business fliers.

Morning, good enough for government work.

[straffinrun]

Morning. Nice metaphor for govt: Here's what we think of people's thoughts.

[Adans smith]

So true. Maybe Hillary can hire this women to dispose of emails.

[WTF]

What, like with a cloth?

[EvaRoss]

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... http://goo.gl/vLekWl

Did anyone bother to check to see if the mail was addressed to the dumpster?

[Adans smith]

They were addressed to a Dr. John A. Zoidberg.

[Mr Lizard]

Hoooray!

The post office used to fuck up very frequently with both delivery to work and home. Now after many complaints, including a couple I made through Amazon, they only fuck up occasionally. I've always suspected for packages that went permanently missing, that shit like this is what happened.

Apparently there is anecdotal evidence from one other commenter on the source site:

This is more common than you think. I knew a family member who did this. He is no longer with us. Passed away. That is when the info all came out by his wife. He would shorten his hours daily by throwing out ads and keeping small packages including CD's in the trunk of his car.

Reasonoids, I need your advice. With the release of Leslie Jones nudes, I am so confused.

If I don't look at them because she is an ugly, I'm racist.
But if I do look at them, I fear that will make me sexist.

What am I supposed to do?

[Ted S.]

Tell everybody you identify as a blind person and are sick of their ableism.

[Adans smith]

Strap on a pair and say 'I don't do ugo's '

[WTF]

^This

[WTF]

Although it can't be any worse than reading a SugarFree story.

[UnCivilServant]

Yes, breaking your leg is not as bad as torture, neither is particularly fun.

[MetalBard]

I think you may have discovered the reason why Milo is gay.

[Agammamon]

Don't look at them.

It doesn't make you racist because its perfectly appropriate to turn away even from the hottest chick if she's been exposed inadvertently. It makes you a gentleman.

[ant1sthenes]

Don't look at them because looking at involuntarily leaked nudes is like a mix of being a peeping Tom and receiving stolen property? There's plenty of women who voluntarily put naked pictures out there for you to fap to.

[Ted S.]

If a non government sector worker did this, we'd have their name and mug shot already.

[Adans smith]

+ 1 perp walk.

[The Hyperbole ((Very Tall))]

This really pushes the envelope of bad behavior.

Seriously though, we should address this kind of behavior and make stamping it out a priority.

[Adans smith]

Are you proud you posted that?

[The Hyperbole ((Very Tall))]

Expressly.

[Adans smith]

UPS yours.

[Adans smith]

I thick we've parceled out enough puns for one day.

RETURN TO SENDER

[AdamJ]

Yeah, zip it

[Lee Genes]

Why did the hooker tattoo zip codes on her thighs?

So the mailman would come faster.

[Jimbo]

These used to offend me, but I am no longer offended. In a way, I am EX-Fed up.

[Pat (PM)]

While this post certainly delivers, the tape is what really sealed the case.

[Adans smith]

It's the glue that holds it together.

[Adans smith]

They did fire her ,so, she's a fed ex now.

[The Hyperbole ((Very Tall))]

You're 'spose ta keep that on the DHL.

[Jimbo]

So how will I mail my boxes, etc?

[Suthenboy]

In her defense I will say this: The river of useless shit that never stops flowing into my mailbox goes straight out of the box and into a burn barrel. I would actually appreciate if a mail carrier did this for me.

[UnCivilServant]

The problem is, they do it for the stuff I want to have arrive!

[Rich]

I heard about a guy who purposely got on as many mailing lists as possible and burned the junk mail to heat his house.

[Rich]

she could face federal charges.

No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case: There's no evidence of *intent*.

[Radioactive]

neither rain, nor snow, sleet, nor dark of night shall delay the postman on the swift completion of his appointed rounds...sexist, ablest bullshit...gotta b racist too and oh yeah that's a serious trigger there, expected people to do the job they're paid for...RAPE

[Flemur]

Black writers are boycotting "The Birth of a Nation,"

Black post office employees are boycotting mail delivery.

[Agammamon]

As for possible punishment, "the postal worker is looking at a maximum penalty of a $250,000 fine, or five years in a federal penitentiary."

A sentence Rondao believes fits the crime. "It's absolutely unacceptable, it should be prosecuted..."

What an asshole.

Look dude, 95% of that stuff was the sort of junk mail that you'd have tossed into the dumpster immediately yourself - while bitching about the paper spam. The other 4.5 % was probably bills - which you received an electronic copy of and had probably already paid anyway.

The remaining .5% are letters from Grandma because AOL shut down so she can't email anymore and had to close their Facebook account because Grandpa kept confusing it with Google.

'piss teen vidoe hairless' is not an appropriate thing to be searching for dad.

[Agammamon]

'Course he probably is against privatizing the postal service completely - then there'd be no need for $250,000 fines and the threat of jail time to get unionized delivery workers to do their jobs.

[Cute Little Bunny Rabbit]

It was born mail, but it identified as garbage.

[jackrose]

nice post
