11 Reasons To Show Your Mailman/Mailwoman Some Love

Mail carriers have it tough. The government is always telling them they might lose their jobs, dogs seem to hate them, and they have to deal with your attitude after you’ve had to stand in line for 20 minutes to buy a stamp. But you know what? Your mailperson deserves your love -- not least of all because they’re the ones delivering your birthday cards full of money. Is this post random? You betcha, but here are 11 reasons to love on your mail carrier today:

1. Because you don’t ever have to worry about causing a traffic jam of this proportion.

2. Because “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night” will get in the way of you getting your mail. Nor will missing tires.

3. Because they’re just like us and harbor fantasies of being the next American Idol.

4. Because, even though your mailbox is usually full of bills, bills, bills, it isn’t right to shoot the messenger. Amiright Bey?

5. Because they provide stability to latchkey children everywhere.

6. Because they know how to utilize man’s best friend to get sh*t done.

7. Because they can help you decide what to wear in the morning.
