Don't you worry about concussions, let us worry about blank.

Damn fun police ruining everything.

This isn't as true as Reddit likes to claim it to be. It was very rare, very niche. By "rare" I mean 7 recorded instances. https://www.history.com/news/mailing-children-post-office

It might just be a USPS thing.

I can't tell if my by ground only you mean trucks, cause I work for FedEx and we fly bees for USPS on our planes

Am I weird for knowing that USPS still ships livestock and all kind of things? I'm a beekeeper that regularly has live bees shipped through USPS.

Bees! bzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzz 🐝

I usually give my post office a heads up with my info. My info is usually on the outside of the box anyway but they appreciate the notice and I've never had an issue. I tell them to call, regardless of what time, and I will come pick them up. You can usually hear them when you walk in the building.

I kid you not, every time I go to the post office in my smallish city, I can hear little baby chicks cheeping away somewhere behind the counter. Is this why?

Really? I figured they’d be much less dangerous after you grind them.

I'm not sure if it was a duckling but I remember one time. My friend who worked at the post office carried a rather large duck to someone. Apparently there was supposed to be a male hold and they were supposed to keep it at the post office but he rushed it to their house first thing. They showed up at the post office while he was at their house so they rushed off to get in. I'm not sure if he stayed with the duck or not.

BEADS?

Fresh chicken nuggies!

I worked loading trucks at the UPS back in the day and came across a busted open box of tiny hermit crabs packed up in a mesh bag.

Pfft as if the player don't get paid enough to take the risk. Who the hell is is dumb enough to still be crying about this?

Awe I remember when we use to get ours as a kid!

the NFL is a shit product. Most games are decided by an interpretation of a call late in game. it's rare that refs don't decide games, actually.

i still watch, but the game is shit.

We do this in Canada too. The box can't be sorted like regular parcels for obvious reasons so we usually put them on a Supervisor's desk until pick up occurs. Chirp chirp chirp.

Canada post does too. And bees. I once accepted a package of crickets. They’d cling to one corner of the box inside and make a sound like a rain stick. Customer made me guess what was inside.

I’ve told this story before but it’s worth sharing again. I used to work for a major mail order DVD company. I’d spend a fair amount of time picking up and dropping off red mailers at the postal distribution centers. That’s when I learned that they shipped chickens! The postal service used carts approx 6 feet tall that would hold many smaller mail bins. Sometimes they would be filled with cardboard crates just peeping away.

Except for one day after a holiday weekend. That bin should have been peeping. It was not. It was completely quiet. And it still had to be delivered. It was a difficult day for me after that thinking about that silent cart.

I've had chicks delivered. And crickets. So many crickets.

Same, i was just done taping the box shut when they announced the law

i still got my 3310 from 1865

Until very recently the USPS was legally required to pre-fund its pension plan for 75 years, which is unheard of in private business. It was an enormous drain on capital that prevented them from being able to make those kinds of investments.
