1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived at the College Road Post Office with an unusual package. The note on it read: ‘Open only when no one is watching.’ The delivery driver shrugged and decided to open it after everyone had left for lunch. Inside was a small box containing a handwritten card that said: 'To the friendliest postmaster in town!' Turned out, it was just a prank from a regular who wanted to brighten up everyone’s day.

2. A regular customer entered the College Road Post Office one day and noticed something unusual on the counter: a small box wrapped in brown paper with no return address or label. The customer picked up the box curiously and asked the postmaster, ‘Who could’ve sent this?’ The postmaster shrugged, ‘No idea.’ Later that afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with another identical package. Smiling, he said, “Guess someone’s having a laugh!” And indeed they were—turns out it was just a prank from a neighboring pub, delivered daily as part of their friendly rivalry.

3. A curious neighbor walked her dog past the College Road Post Office every afternoon. She always noticed the same old mail truck pulling up around sunset. But recently, she started seeing something odd: the mailbox on top of the truck seemed to open by itself just as it approached the entrance. One day, the neighbor ducked behind a bush to catch the mysterious act. To her surprise, an elderly delivery driver emerged from the truck, unlocked the mailbox with his key, and carefully placed each letter inside. Turned out, he had a secret love for puzzling neighbors—and a hidden fondness for practical jokes.

Curious, the driver checked his schedule and found everything in order. Just as he was about to leave, an elderly gentleman approached, smiling broadly. ‘Ah,’ said the neighbor, ‘I moved them back last night. Been meaning to tidy things up!’
