A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone always wave and smile when they leave here?’ An old neighbor overheard and laughed: ‘They’re not waving at you, sonny. They’re waving goodbye to Irving’s nicest postman!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing he’d been missing out on the small town charm.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived early in the morning, carrying a large envelope addressed to someone named ‘Postmaster General’. As he approached the counter, the postal clerk noticed something peculiar – every time the old man entered, mail mysteriously disappeared from other customers’ boxes. Finally, after much confusion and laughter, it turned out that our elderly gentleman was simply helping himself to his own letters, which were accidentally sent to him as ‘Postmaster General.’ He had been retrieving them for years without anyone noticing! The whole town ended up calling him ‘Mr. Mailman,’ and everyone agreed it was just another charming little Las Colinas mystery.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Irving Post Office with a package in hand. As he approached the counter, he noticed something peculiar: every employee seemed to be humming the same tune while sorting mail. Curious, he asked one of the employees what song they were singing. With a smile, she replied, 'It's our secret code for when we're short on stamps.' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking to himself that some jobs never change.
4. One morning, a little girl walked into the post office with her father. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at a package wrapped in bright paper. 'Daddy,' she whispered, 'why is that box talking?' The clerk smiled and leaned over the counter. ‘That’s not a box, honey,’ he said gently. ‘It’s just a package with a recording.’ The girl looked puzzled for a moment, then giggled and turned back to her dad. ‘Oh, I get it!’ She waved goodbye to the clerk, and they left, leaving everyone in stitches.
