My god. The whining doesn't stop even when they get what they want,
does it?
You confuse whining with being facetious/sarcastic. (Tell me you
aren't a university graduate? please!)

Now if that's what annoys you, then you are too easily annoyed.


I wasn't annoyed by *you* not knowing where the mail box was. Didn't
bother me a bit.

Can you explain to me why someone would go out of their way to respond to my post which they believed to be whining---it was not----and say, "lookee here! someone's whining!" and even get a response from another dare-I-
say-loser who agreed with him?

I am continually amazed at how people scream out how unimportant something is but gave it enough importance to scream it out so.
Ignoring the side threads here- original post shines a light on something that has displeased me for years- there are a LOT fewer drop boxes than there used to be, and they are not collected from nearly as often. Back in the stone age when I was young, in most towns, you could not walk 5 blocks in any direction without encountering a box. They even had cute little boxes mounted on telephone poles, for areas that had low volume. (probably collectors items by now). Now, I have to drive a mile to the nearest box, or all the way downtown if I miss a 1 pm pickup at that box. Crime rate in my neighborhood is pretty low and I have a rural box by the street, so I usually just put it in there and put the flag up. But note they only pick it up as a courtesy- they only HAVE to stop if they have a delivery.
