1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone always wave at that old lady near the Richmond Post Office?’ The old lady waved back cheerfully and replied, 'She's my signal to start my day with a smile!' Turns out, she was just waving at her own reflection in the post office window—until everyone else joined in.
2. A curious delivery driver pulled up to the Richmond Post Office one day and asked aloud: 'Why do people here keep stopping their cars mid-street just to look inside?' An old lady, noticing the commotion, popped her head out of a nearby window and yelled down: ‘They’re waiting for the mailman’s dance recital poster!’ Turns out, every Friday afternoon, the postal worker hung a new artistic display in the window—much to everyone’s amusement.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Richmond Post Office one day and asked with a smile: ‘Why do I see an old lady waving from the same window every single time I come here?’ The old lady smiled back and said, 'I’m just waving hello to my friend across the street!' The delivery guy looked puzzled but shrugged it off, thinking maybe she was a bit forgetful. Until he noticed that her wave was always synchronized with a neighbour’s wave on the opposite side of the road.

A delivery driver pulled up to the Richmond Post Office one day and asked the mail carrier, ‘Why do people here keep waving at us when we drive by?’ The mail carrier smiled and replied, ‘Oh, those are our neighbors. They’re just saying “thank you” for delivering their packages safely.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but then realized with a laugh, ‘So they’re not waving at US, they’re waving at THE PACKAGES!’
