A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver prepared to leave Proctor Station Post Office, he noticed an old envelope taped to the door. Curious, he read aloud over the PA system: ‘Today’s mail contains secrets so powerful, they must be delivered only once per day.’ After that, every day around noon, people from nearby towns would gather outside the post office, waiting for the mysterious message. One day, an excited neighbor ran in and announced: 'It says today’s secret is “Don’t forget to water the garden”!' The whole town burst out laughing—until the next day's message arrived.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver approached the counter of Proctor Station Post Office with an unusual package. The note on it read simply, ‘For Mr. Smith, please deliver immediately.’ But there was no address or return label. The clerk raised an eyebrow and said, 'Mr. Smith's here every day, but he never gets packages.' They shrugged and called out, 'Hey, Mr. Smith, come pick up your mysterious parcel!' A regular walked in, took one look at the box, and asked, 'Is that for me?' The whole place burst into laughter as everyone realized it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood joker.

3. In the late evening, an elderly neighbor dropped by the Proctor Station Post Office to mail a letter. As she waited for the clerk to finish with another customer, she noticed something peculiar on the wall clock—its hands seemed to move backwards when no one was looking. Finally, her turn came. Just as she placed her letter on the counter, the clock’s minute hand took a sudden leap forward, then backward again. The old lady laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll just have to send it tomorrow.’ She turned to leave but bumped into a delivery driver who asked, ‘Ma’am, is that clock always so… unpredictable?’

4. In the late evening, a delivery driver approached the counter of Proctor Station Post Office. As he reached for his keys, a small voice whispered behind him, ‘Sir, you forgot your smile today.’ The driver turned around with a puzzled look on his face, but no one was there. Just an old lady smiling warmly from the corner. She winked and said, 'Forgotten smiles never reach their destination.' The driver smiled back, realizing that maybe a little cheer couldn’t hurt anyone.
