The postal service is a service it does not "lose money" as its purpose is not to make money but to do something for people.

If it's not helping a rich person get richer we don't want it!

mailbox

not in my god damned house

technically the truth, Mailboxes are usually by the road.

Now I'm imagining it was just a mail slot, which is now a giant shotgun hole in the door. And the mail man flicks a letter through, further infuriating me.

Now the delivery person can just put the packages through the new package slot on their door.

How dare you post comments in a community... That's like... community-ism!

But yourr righ. I don't think this guy watched his commercials and clicked enough banner ads to get here. Probably has one of those blue state credit scores too. I bet he can even afford to buy things outside of the Walmart poverty cycle. He might even be one of those people who calls out my idiotic gender assumptions! Probably uses that lipstix OS too. /satire

OMG my mom, when I was in school in England, only sent one letter while I was there - addressed it to my name and "the college in Yorkshire". No street no number and there is more than one college in Yorkshire; but they delivered it to me.

That would never fly in the US.

Im in the greatest and freest country with no problems at all in the world, America, and our local fedex called me and figured out where I was since i basically have an unfindable property in another unfindable property which is indistinguishable from 7 other neighboring properties. My guess is they did something like this map because now they arrive without issue. Was a pleasant surprise since i thought they would not care and not deliver

Btw you can add your driveway/ access road, building and address on www.openstreetmap.org

But then you have to use OSM

Cool idea, dogshit execution.

There are several Apps using the map data from OSM so you can pick one you like

And every single one I tried has been hot garbage.

Damn, dude. Our USPS carrier can't even bother to put things in our mailbox or pick up the outgoing mail that's been sitting there for half a week.

Reminds me of one I saw years ago from Ireland with a similar address "you know the lad with the glasses, goes to the university and his da' runs the bakery" or something to that effect. And having lived there, I have no difficulty this would find it's recipient, haha!
