Wait, who tips the mailman? As a federal government employee, they can't accept tips.

I live in a densely populated area. Maybe in rural/less densely populated areas it's common to "tip" your mailman? Not with cash, but maybe a gift certificate?

People usually give the mailman something at Christmas time, which is fine, but there was a debate about giving cash. I said I never give cash, but make him candy or something. I said it also isn't really necessary, and that, at least here, mailmen make really good money, much more than I do. A mailman's wife took offense, and made a big stink. That's when every time I turned around I was getting an email from AOL for a TOS violation.

People were also talking about tipping any kind of service man, like guys that fix your furnace. I think that's just silly. I basically tip waitresses, bartenders, hotel staff...people like that, but not, say, a plumber!
 
I like my mailman. I've been in the same house for 6 years and don't think I've ever talked to him. Or her. I'm not even sure which it is. As long as I get my mail I don't give a **** what else they do, but I'm not tipping him. Or her.

My mailman is a great guy who I used to work with at the newspaper when I got out of school. He goes above and beyond.
 
I give the UPS guy that delivers to my work a gift card for Christmas. That's where I get all my collectibles delivered and he's always concerned about getting them to me without any damage. I don't know my mailman/woman's name and he or she only brings me bills.
 
We bought a house last fall and this mail guy is terrible. He leaves my packages in the rain and in puddles.
I bought an oversized mailbox because I buy a lot of TPBs and he just smooshes everything in.

I also work out of my house so there's no reason a package should ever be left outside other than pure laziness.

Had the implant already but both the abutment, installed today, and the implant looks like the leaning tower of pisa. Confirmed on the mirror and it matched the x-ray seen at the dentist. Dentist assistant made an excuse that its the angle. Going to have a talk with the dentist next time. They seem to be having a jolly good time today. Should've leave the missing back tooth alone. Mr. Green hates dentist and doctors. They seem to be all about moneys now a days.

I hate my dentist but they all suck in this town. I have 4 crowns and I know they aren't sitting right but I was told I was wrong. BS!
 
My doctor absolutely hates anyone second guessing him. Hates google. Doesn't take u seriously if u ask questions... Lol

Glad I don't have a doctor like that. I love my doctor. He's the reason I stick to the health plan that I have. I could go cheaper but I'd lose him.
 
Yeah i wish i could see someone else but cant. Hes younger too so i dont understand his hate for the internet lol

I can understand his hate of it. Too many people try to self diagnose by using the internet. You can drive yourself nuts with it.
 
I HATE that all of the @ssh-les who make cable modems and routers can't be bothers to have an on/off switch. Resetting the network means reaching around in the f'king dark to unplug and re-plug the stupid power. Give me a power switch! They don't have Radio Shack in China!?
