The stunning thought process of the USPS

[Alex]

I don't think I've ever really had a bad experience at the post office other than slow lines but that generally is more the fault of the people who apparently don't understand that more work is involved on their part than showing up with a present in a milk crate and having a vague hopeful notion that it will go to some other part of the world.

But again, I wasn't trying to say that the USPS isn't stupid or incompetent. Just that if this is stupid and incompetent it is a broadly accepted stupid incompetency.
