Here's a story that I keep forgetting to post.
Kenzie had her birthday party on February 23 at Chuck E. Cheese in Cherry Hill. It was a decent time, but the crew screwed up because, well, they are high school kids and they are stupid. But the purpose of this post isn't meant to blast their ineptness. Kenzie's best friend, Aidan, who lives in Pennsylvania, was at the party and he and his parents spent the night at our apartment. Later that week Kenzie received an envelope from Aidan.
Actually I retrieved it from the mailbox to give to Kenzie. As I was looking at the envelope I noticed there was something lumpy inside. I figured it was something like a little plastic ring or something for Valentine's Day. I gave it to Tiff and Kenzie when I got back to the apartment and upon further inspection, Tiff noticed that the envelope was torn on one of the edges.
Tiff opened the envelope to reveal the card and a little bag of M&M's. There was one problem, though: the package of M&M's was open and there was only one M&M left inside. Okay, so who the f^$# in their right mind would open a kid's Valentine's Day card for a mouthful of M&M's? What a friggin' loser!
The next day Tiff called the post office to inquire and complain. The woman with whom she spoke basically laughed at her saying no one would risk their job for a mouthful of M&M's. But apparently someone did because the envelope was open and there was only one M&M left when we finally got the damn thing. I guess I shouldn't be too upset because it's not like there was money in the envelope nor was there a social security number or any personal info inside.
Still, it's obviously the principal of it all. The mail is supposed to be personal and private and it's also supposed to be a federal offense to open somebody else's mail. Yet no one at the post office was willing to even listen to Tiff when she called to complain.
I guess it could be possible that a sorting machine squeezed out the M&M's, just like it's possible that O.J. isn't an insane double-murderer, but the envelope was torn in such a way that it's hard for me to believe that anything other than a person could have split the envelope like that. And why weren't there any crushed M&M's inside the card or the M&M bag?! Seriously?!
Oh well. I hope the fat moron at the post office who stole Kenzie's M&M's is happy. The postal service sucks. We need to get rid of it, talk about outdated. It's useless. The only thing it delivers is consistently higher stamp rates (because people don't use the service anymore because they suck) and junk mail and for everything else, you know, like useful stuff, we have DHL, FedEx and UPS, all much better options than the United States Postal Service.
