I must say - the kitty is great! and I'm sick of aol mailings too.

Here in South Africa you just lucky if you get ya mail at all. LOL

LOL - hilarious list. I hate it when my mail carrier stuffs a ton of stuff (esp if it's junk mail and coupons) in my mail slot, and then when I go to open the little door it all springs out at me and all over the floor. Sooo annoying even if there's not much else the mail carrier can really do with all that mail.

Thanks for the visit :)

LMAO at the POSTAL KITTY! Ya know what,I hate when I get the neighbor's mail. Why do they deliver it, if they know that person doesn't live at my address. Same delivery man for the past 6 yrs.He knows everyone who lives here.LOL, Enough allready with the AOL!

Do we have the same mail carrier? lol

Great list. Mine are up :)

Hilarious! Makes me love my postman. In fact I'm going to write him a little love note right now. ;)

Wow, that's pretty bad!

I HATE HATE HATE it when I get a note when I've been home all day. Why walk all the way up to my door to stick a note on it, then not knock? I swear I have good hygiene...

Thanks for the laughs, my T13 is up!

[chuckle]

So I'm not the only one with these questions running through my head, I see. Too funny. And yet, so sad.

We had a problem with our P.O. delivering the wrong mail to several people in our neighborhood. You know, I would get Sally's mail and Sally would get Bobs, and Bob would get Jane's, and so on and so forth. So, I went in to complain and what did they do? They gave me a card to fill out which would state the names of everyone in my household that would receive mail. Huh? Shouldn't they already have this information? And, um... couldn't the postal carrier just look at the damn address section of any given piece of mail and figure it out from there? That IS what they're paid for, right?

[sigh]

Yeah, I'm ready to go postal on the postal service too.

that's a funny post and a hilarious cat! haha!

by the way, how was the digging?

Wow--you've got issues! I'm going to hug my carriers next time. Once in awhile we get the neighbors' mail, but that's usually a sub.

Thanks for visiting my TT.

Wow, I kinda like my mailman, but reading horror stories such as these makes me LOVE him!

And did they really pepper-spray your cats? I find that outrageous, and I would certainly file a complaint about that.

Sounds like Newman from Seinfeld delivers your mail...

Hi! First time Thirteener here. It's scary that I can relate to those. I usually get my 24 disks, but two or three times they haven't shown up as received by Blockbuster. And number 3--I just can't even stand this!

A) the photo is hilarious.
B) They pepper sprayed your cat?
C) Call and complain. It worked for my crappy postman. :) They often didn't want to walk up the steps to leave my package. They did that with my last Harry Potter book. Dude, it says it's the new HP book on the box. I'd been waiting for 2 years. Walk up the steps!

Touche! All great points. Funny, my TT mentioned the USPS, too. I just don't want them to go belly up so my NetFlix arrives.

Thanks for visiting.

Know what I hate about the USPS? Aside from the fact I have a PO Box and YES they do try to make ANYTHING fit even if it says fragile, do not bend. I hate the fact (on my list no less) that on Sat, my local PO is only open from 10-12. Hello? I work 9-6 everyday but have to leave the house before they open to get to work on time!! Grr!!

And I am NOT anonymous! LOL

LOL i think we have the same mail carrier! :)

OMG! You poor thing! Our mail service is great here but I've had some of this happen before and it is frigging annoying!!

Love the list, Margie! Have a good day!

That's one mean looking kitten.

AC @ bloggedy blog

We've lived in this house for over a year and we STILL get mail addressed to about four different names that AREN'T us! I told my husband I'm just going to keep a pen tied to the mailbox so I don't have to keep bringing those letters into the house. I'll just write "NOT AT THIS ADDRESS" and stick them back in the box. Some guy is not getting his Home Depot bills and I think, from the look of the last letter he got here, he's in big trouble.

MY TT is up too!

What a great list, I was LOL at almost every one of your 13 items. I hope you were kidding about him pepper-spraying your kitty. That's horrible if it's true.

Hope you get a new mail carrier soon, hehehe :)

Have a great day!

Boy, do I miss our mail carrier at home, but heck, I'd almost put up with yours. Almost. Getting my mail now (I have an APO address) means driving 10 miles, going through two military checkpoints, finding parking in the overcrowded hospital parking lot, showing my ID yet again, walking a half mile through the hospital to the mail room, hoping I remember the combination, then if I have a package, waiting at the window for someone to find it, juggling packages all the way back to the car, and driving back through the gates and home again. It's about a 40-minute process on a good day. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Funny list...we have a P.O. Box so don't have any of those problems.

Do you think that if we all write "return to sender" on those dicks from AOL, that they might get the idea?

My TT is up!

We have a postal carrier that doesn't deliver most Fridays. Seriously. But otherwise we get our mail okay.

At my old place, we had a FABULOUS carrier...Ernie. He would put packages on the back patio when we were gone, ring the bell if thigns didn't fit through the slot...he was great.

That was so funny. My stepdad is a postman and he would get a kick out of this. He really doesn't like the post office and complains about the issues with it all the time. Great list! Mine is up!

ROTFL, #2 happens to me all the time!

OMG, too many of these things happen to us, too! Where we used to live, the carrier was awesome, but since we moved, it's sooo bad!

That was funny to read. Thanks for that. I am sorry you have so many issues with your mail man.

OMGosh..I was laughing just a bit there, but honestly, if I had to put up with any of that, I'd go postal! I played. Stacie

I hope my brother's not your mail carrier!

I have beefs with the USPS, too. I'm afraid to complain, though, for fear of them "going postal."

Enjoyed your list!

thinking of going postal on the postal worker? enjoyed your list!

OH I used to HATE that

being home all day
and getting a "sorry we missed you" notice

AAAAAAA

If only your mail carrier would read your blog.

That was good! What a crappy carrier you must have. I would complain to his bosses that he pepper sprayed your cat. That is the kind of thing that can get someone fired here in Canada!

Plus, I love the suggestion to write Return To Sender on the AOL disks too!
