About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a little boy walked into the Sherwood Carrier Annex and pointed excitedly at something on the counter. The postal clerk looked down and saw nothing but an ordinary package. But when he glanced back up, the boy’s pointer finger had vanished from sight. The clerk scratched his head, then noticed that the boy's other hand was holding a candy bar. 'Son,' he said with a smile, 'your finger's right here.' The boy grinned sheepishly and nodded, taking another bite of his treat.
2. One morning, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve received an unusual package today. It’s addressed simply as “To the person who needs it most.”’ After much confusion and laughter, it turned out that the mysterious package was just a box of donuts from a local bakery, delivered anonymously to boost morale. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they found out it was actually done by a regular who always brought pastries but never got credit for it.
3. One afternoon, a regular approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘I just saw a man walking out of here,’ he said, ‘carrying a package that looked like it belonged to him… but I’m pretty sure no one ever ordered anything.’ The postal clerk smiled and shook his head. ‘That’s because he was our new delivery driver,’ he explained. ‘He keeps forgetting which packages are his own.’ A few days later, everyone in town received a friendly note apologizing for any confusion—signed by someone named “Sherwood” and addressed simply as ‘Dear Neighbor’.
4. One night, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, it seems our new package is a bit… peculiar.’ Upon opening the box, everyone gasped—inside was nothing but an old, crumpled note that read: 'Dear Sherwood, I hope your carrier annex gets better service than my last delivery.' Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who’d had bad mail experiences himself.
