About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm autumn morning when a regular customer arrived early at Geary Post Office. As he approached the counter, he noticed something peculiar: every mailbox seemed to be slightly ajar. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that each mail slot contained a tiny note saying ‘Your package is around back.’ The clerk smiled mysteriously as she told him it was just another day at the Geary Post Office—where packages always arrive with a little extra surprise!’

2. A curious postal worker noticed that every Tuesday afternoon, exactly at 3:17 p.m., a mysterious package would arrive without any address or sender's name. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver decided to follow the package. He found it being delivered to an old lady’s house who greeted him with a smile and said, 'Oh, it's for me, dear! I ordered some special cookies from my neighbor.' The whole town burst out laughing when they heard the story, realizing that the mysterious packages were just her secret way of sharing freshly baked goods.

3. A little boy walked into the Geary Post Office one rainy day, clutching a letter he wanted to mail. As soon as he entered, the old clock above the counter struck three times—even though it wasn’t even noon yet. The postal clerk looked up from his stamps and smiled warmly at the boy. 'That’s because I just wound it,' he said. The little boy nodded wisely, then turned around and left, leaving behind a note on the counter: "Dear Sir, please set your clock back to reality." A delivery driver passing by chuckled and muttered, ‘Kids these days... always trying to fix things.’

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Geary Post Office and asked the clerk, ‘Do you know why our mail truck always honks three times before delivering letters?’ The clerk thought for a moment and replied with a smile, ‘Of course I do. It’s because your horn is broken.’ The delivery driver looked down and realized his horn had been making that peculiar sound all along. Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the usually serious postal workers.
