USPS Strikes AGAIN!!

I was a city carrier for the USPS for several years.
The OP made the statement the carrier ran off before he could get to the door. The question I have is, what if you would have caught him? Do you seriously think the carriers do this stuff?
Don't get mad at the carrier, they very likely got the package damaged.
I can't tell you the number of times I received a damaged parcel, I didn't damage it, but I had to deliver it.
I've been screamed at by people for it though. Those people usually ended up picking their mail up at the post office for a few weeks.
