A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the United States Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. Every day around noon, an old man appeared from nowhere and started rearranging the mailboxes. The delivery driver watched curiously for several days until one afternoon, while the old man was busy adjusting the boxes, his neighbor walked up and asked, ‘Hey, aren’t those your mailboxes?’ The old man turned around with a smile and replied, ‘No, they’re mine now!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been just another friendly neighborhood prank.

2. At dawn, when the mailbags were being loaded, an old stamp collection started whispering strange messages. Suddenly, one of the stamps said, ‘First-class forever!’ and everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old philatelist’s dream come true. The postmaster smiled knowingly and whispered back, ‘Never underestimate the power of a good stamp collection.’

3. At closing time, when the last employee was locking up, a strange sound came from inside the mail sorting room. Suddenly, an old letter stamp popped out of its slot and started chasing envelopes across the table. A befuddled night watchman chased after it with a broom, yelling, ‘Get back in there, you little mischief-maker!’

4. At the United States Post Office, a regular shouted in surprise one day as he reached for his usual spot on the counter. ‘Hey!’ he exclaimed, ‘the stamps are winking at me today!’ A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, shaking his head. ‘You’re seeing things,’ he said with a smile. The regular shrugged, grinning broadly. ‘Maybe so,’ he replied, ‘but it’s sure making my day brighter.’
