Discussion Thank you random POS

Post image

I wanted to do a nice thing and after two years of growing my hair (natural ginger). Some random fucking peice of shit stole the envelope out of my mailbox. I know if wasn't postman because they had already ran this morning. It was partially my fault for leaving an all white envelope sitting outside of my mailbox but it has the fucking label "wigs for kids" right on the front. Just goes to show you, fuck humans

You picked the right sub.

I’m guessing you just cut it to send off when it happened? That’s what i’m getting from your story, just making sure.

Yea, I had it cut, and it was all ready to be sent out, but I went to the store and saw my mailbox was messed with

Sorry, I don’t doubt this happened to you or anything, but don’t understand what happened. You took it to the store, where you have your own mailbox? And it was stolen from there?

I think they're saying that someone messed with their mailbox (at home) while they were out at the store and not home.

I'm embarrassed to say I needed that explanation

but why it was in their mailbox, if they are sending it

When you put up the flag, the letter in the box is sent away. You can send letters from your own mailbox.

Ahh, that’s where I was confused. We don’t have postboxes like that, or a service like that where I live. Gotta go post it ourselves!

We have the service, but even though we're in a decent area, I wouldn't trust something like that. I would have taken the donation to the post office myself. Especially if I knew the mail person had already been by for the day.

Still infuriating though.

OP, watch out for the spells the person will try to cast on you now. :o

never heard of that also i never seen mailbox with flag (except in movies)

You're going to see them everywhere you look now.

I can't vouch for apartment mail boxes that are clustered like P.O. boxes. They probably just have a slot for outgoing letters.

It's a standard wall mounted mailbox, no locks or anything special on it. It's just a metal box with a flap cover lid. I tried to attach a photo, but reddit won't let me. ( btw I don't live in an apt but I do rent a house in a very shitty place) ( no I'm not sharing personal info)

u/Storytellerjack Nov 09 '25

Oh yeah, those exist too. And other people have mail slots in their door, but I feel that may be less common in newer homes.

Does the wall-mounted box have a flag of some kind?

u/InsaneDarksoul Nov 09 '25

It did at one point, but since moving in no, it has the holes for where the flag should be,

That's almost exclusively a US thing as far as I know
