Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old lady sorting letters with remarkable speed—except she wasn’t there during business hours. Suddenly, the old lady turned around and smiled warmly. ‘Just helping out,’ she said in a twinkling voice. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing it was probably just an overzealous volunteer. As he left, he waved goodbye to the mysterious figure, who winked back and went back to her letter-sorting magic.

The delivery driver burst out laughing so hard he almost forgot why he was there. Turned out, it was just an elderly woman rushing home after a late movie. She dusted herself off, gave him a playful glare, and said, 'Next time I'll use the front entrance!'

Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the Albuquerque Main Post Office and noticed something odd—a small dog was staring up at him from behind the mailboxes, its eyes glowing eerily in the dim light. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it might be a stray. He opened the gate, and the little creature bounded towards him, wagging its tail furiously. Turned out it belonged to a regular who worked late shifts there—everyone knew her as ‘Mailbox Maggie,’ and she’d been leaving treats for the poor pup every evening.

The delivery driver waved, thinking it was just some local prankster having fun. But when he opened the door, there stood a regular neighbor, who’d been waiting for their package all day. ‘Finally!’ said the neighbor, grinning sheepishly. The two shared a laugh, and the driver thought, “Next time I’ll deliver packages with a little less haste.”
