A USPS postal worker who reportedly struggled with alcohol addiction and depression was caught hoarding over 40,000 pieces of undelivered mail that were intended for the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. over the course of ten years.
At last, the unattainable glamour of the mailman is within your sweaty grasp: the U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday plans to release a fashion line for men. (Estimated delivery date for a women's line: unknown.)
The US Postal Service is preparing to announce its decision to stop delivering first-class mail on Saturdays in a last-ditch effort to save itself from total ruin.
Here's an unsettling mail-related story in which the postal worker is the victim.

When Portland's Don Derfler looked out his window and saw the mailman lingering in his neighbor's yard, "I thought he had a bunch of packages for us." Oh, yes, he did. Derfler continues:
Things got ugly when a black mail carrier refused to take back a letter he'd delivered to a lady in Hingham, Mass. She went on a racist rant and slapped him. He secretly taped it all on his cell phone.
A New Jersey postal contractor driver has been charged with the old-timey crime of "desertion of mails," for a May incident in which he just dumped 32,000 pieces of mail into the woods. He was having a bad day!
The U.S. Postal Service, which is a thing you will enjoy describing to your grandchildren, wants to raise the price of first-class stamps by two cents, to 46 cents. That is still a huge bargain! Go write a letter! [WSJ]
So, there's this band, Owl City, and they have songs, and teenagers like them. The song is basically a complete ripoff of the Postal Service, a great act. Given the chance to speak? More music dumbquotes to the Times, GO:
