We have a circular drive thru the front yard so we don't have to back out onto the road. We are usually parked in it. Yesterday we went out and on the way back we stopped at Glenda's. As we was coming out of her drive to cross to ours the mailman pulled up to the bank of mailboxes. They are the last ones on the road so he usually turns around in Kevin's drive and goes back. Yesterday he turned into our drive and went all the way through and out the other end. I wonder if he does that every time we aren't in the driveway. I guess it is easier than turning around but it is private property and the mailboxes are on the edge of the road across from us. I like your signs Toni. dooley
Postal inefficiency most likely. Our street is 6 blocks long with half of those blocks having houses only on one side of the street and our end of the street joins two other streets at a three-way stop and those streets are only one block long each. In the rest of our neighborhood of several hundred houses, there are two carriers but neither of them does these three streets. So we are usually given to whoever doesn't leave the post office building fast enough and they have to work this route in between other routes they do. And sometimes about 5 p.m. when the carriers are returning to the post office, someone will find the box of mail for this route sitting in the back undelivered so our mail gets here around 6 or after. The first time our mail was forgotten, I saw the carrier coming and was waiting for him. I joked that we had been forgotten and he got all upset. I reminded him that it was almost 7 p.m. and asked if he had any other reason...he just handed me the mail and walked away.
I found this piccie on the net and immediately thought of your mail carriers Toni. Do you think it would work?!!
Good luck Toni. Just don't give up. If they can learn to place mail in a mailbox, they can surelyt learn where to walk.
Toni, why don't you put up a 'Private Property' or 'No Trespassing' sign? There is no reason for that! :-x
Unbelievable, Toni! Those signs are a hoot, but I can't believe those postal guys could be so rude. I'd be very prickly about that - stomping on my plants. I guess ours are lucky to be delivering by car.
