Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML

Today, I was doing weird voice impressions for my friend right before the doorbell rang and I had the front window open. The postman looked at me strangely, handed me my parcel and didn't say a word. FML

Today, I rushed to the post office to mail an important document for the study abroad program that I'd applied for, which was due in a few days. Just as the envelope slipped out of my hand and into the mail box, I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner where there was supposed to be a stamp. FML

Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work. The delivery guy left a note saying he'd left the package with my neighbor at #10. When I went and knocked on the door and asked for the package, my neighbor said "Nope, nothing delivered here." and quickly shut the door in my face. FML

Today, I woke up feeling great. I opened up the blinds and looked out from my window just in time to see a man ripping my mailbox from the ground and sprinting away with it. FML

Today, I went to check my mail but there was a guy standing at the mailbox. I said, "Hey, get the fuck away from there." It was the mailman. FML

Today, I got a notice on my apartment door that I'd received a package when no one was home, and it was left at the backdoor. I don't have a backdoor. FML

Today, on the way to work, I pulled over at a postbox to post a letter. I walked up to the box with the letter in one hand, car key in the other. Guess which one I posted. FML

Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML

Today, a couple of packages were stolen from our apartment doorstep shortly after being delivered. A little while later, the thief brought the torn packaging back and left them at the bottom of our stairs. FML

Today, someone stole a package off my doorstep. Too bad, it was the video doorbell to prevent my packages from being stolen. FML

Report that to the postal service! Make sure to include date and time so you have as solid of a story as possible.

he knocked? I once watched a postal worker get out of her van with only an attempted delivery notice, which she stuck to my door without knocking, and left while making eye contact with me as I ran out the front door to stop her.

I get meds from the VA every month. I have caught my mailman doing this many times, and have reported him each time I have had to go down to the post office and waste an hour standing in line to get them. They don't care.

Ours has done that too! Except I got to the door in time and they gave me my package and the failure to deliver slip.

He came to your door and remembered the tip you gave him last Christmas: nothing. Tips are not just gratuities, they are also a kind of extortion. It’s a shame you didn’t play along — a damn shame.

Maybe he realized he was at the wrong address?

Follow and confront him. They usually do not get so far before the next delivery. I am living in a dead end road and managed to stop them. Never happend again.
