It read: ‘Free cookies for anyone who can guess how many stamps are in our vault!’ The delivery driver counted meticulously but found only ordinary stamps.

A neighbor later confessed it was their way of saying thanks for always delivering packages promptly.
2. Late one night, a mail carrier pulled up to the Parkrose Post Office and noticed an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door—and found no lights, but the sound grew louder. Inside, everything was pitch-black except for a dim glow coming from behind the counter. The mail carrier called out, ‘Hello? Is anyone there?’ Suddenly, a sleepy voice replied, 'Oh, hi! Just finishing my shift early.' A neighbor had locked himself in after hours, dozing off on the job—again.
3. Late one night, a mail carrier pulled up to the Parkrose Post Office and found an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Night Mailman Who Works Here.’ Curious, he opened it. Inside was a note that read: 'Dear Mailman, I owe you a package.' The next day, everyone in town received a small gift from someone they’d never met before.'
4. Late one night, a mail carrier pulled up to the Parkrose Post Office and found that someone had left a mysterious note taped to every mailbox. The note read: ‘Your next letter will arrive exactly when you least expect it.’ The next morning, as the sun rose over Portland, the first letters started arriving—just like clockwork, right on time. But instead of important bills or packages, everyone received an envelope containing only a smiley face drawn in marker and the words: ‘Happy Monday!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who loved making people smile.
