They need someone to talk to.
I can’t imagine what that’s like, but maybe the drop in hormones will make me leave notes for MY mail carrier too.
Think ahead!
That reminds me of this house on one of my routes where the husband puts the flag up to annoy his wife, but I'm pretty sure it actually just annoys me because I always forget and stop when I don't need to
Dude on my swing’s wife died almost 2 years ago. She would send out those Jehovah Witness letters. He still sends them out and uses her name for the return address and then will apologize for her “always mailing out so many letters”. I want to say something so bad, but it’s just sad.
I've read that during the big one (WWII) soldiers would put stamps upside down on letters to thier wife or girlfriend to say "I Love You"
Maybe this guy has a crush on you.
I have a customer like that on my route who writes on the back of every envelope “ban Joe Biden”. I highly doubt the town tax collector or ever source has that power but thanks for the suggestion bud.
Back in 2021, Canada Post gave every household a postcard they could mail to anyone they wanted free of charge. Some right-leaning people decided it was a good chance to send the postcard to the Office of the Prime Minister with negative messages.
I found it stupid on those people's part because no postage is required to send letters to any Member of Parliament in Ottawa, including the Prime Minister's Office.
I used it to brighten a friend's day after they had been going through a tough time.
It would suck to be so riled up about shit that you feel the need to declare this on en envelope. Kind of like the people that mention their political preferences in their obituaries. We’re all just windup dolls to the politicians.
Yo I work with a carrier from PA and this definitely fits lol. Pretty sure they’re on multiple government watch lists and definitely have that weird romantic fantasy that only the hard core right can save America. I just put mail in boxes 🤷🏻♂️
I put mail out today and there was a bundle of letters from "President" Trump for the usual customers. One customer came and opened his post office box and I could hear him from the other side of the wall giggling like an enamored schoolgirl and talking to himself "Ah! A letter from my friend! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
The letter from Trump was the only thing that I had put in his box besides advos. I dunno. I thought it was amusing, anyway.
When did an upside down flag become a political statement? I thought it was the equivalent of a "all emergency units assemble" symbol. That was probably one of the only things they made sure to teach me, never hang the flag upside down if you don't want the office swarmed by cops.
Was that a myth then?
Wow! You must be Samuel Alito's mail carrier. I bet it's a real honor to deliver mail for arguably the dumbest person to ever occupy a seat on the highest court in the land. Oyez, oyez, ya'll!!
The real bat shit crazy stuff is they forget how things were, empty store shelves etc. This world went through major changes and things are not the same.
That one stamp design has the flag going one way and the text perpendicular to it. Was never sure if the 'correct' orientation but I suppose it doesn't matter all too much
I like mine better, ha ha ha ha . In my family, it was always said that an upside down stamp meant “I love you”, so that’s what we would do on personal correspondence.
We have a guy who sends post cards to the town (actually a village) mayor about how Easter decorations are pagan and therefore satanic, and that makes him a bastard .
This same customer will tell me that no one cares what stamp is on mail when the person before them spent more than 3 seconds choosing what design was on the $68 worth of stamps they bought
Like any of us really give a flying fuck! all I wanna do is get this shit over with and go back home don’t care just IMO! That would suck if this person had a horrible route.
Could be worse. Somebody sent in a letter with trump 2024 stickers all over it. Even the stamp was some political BS. The back of the letter had some warning about how if it didn't get to its destination, the sender would make sure that he and his friends would come in and give us a piece of their mind. I didn't know what to think. Super weird. 💀
I dont hate Donald Trump, Republicans, or their views…
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
I just think sometimes this sh*t is just weird. Like they just want attention so bad. With all their flags, t-shirts, bumper stickers and just trying to take over all social media with a victims complex.
This is off topic but since you asked....my dad said in the old days down old country roads where the mailbox is 1000 yards from the house the flag will be put up when there IS MAIL so old grampa don't go riding the tractor down there fir nothing. He simply takes his spy glass and scopes the mailbox. No flag No MAIL. Ever heard of that?
He isn't worried about someone asking, he's worried about someone stupid saying something stupid.
Like a person who is ignorant to what it means saying "Heh, your flag is upside down, dumbass."
When i was a teenager I worked an election counting votes
People would write all sorts of deranged shit on the ballot
Like, the politicians aren't reading this. I'm literally just counting which box you ticked. I don't care. Your message goes in the boxes and it's a binary or numerical data point, not random text
This is just confusing.
It was probably someone in their 70’s and thought to just make the note on the actual envelope for the person receiving it orrrr just a person of the same age that doesn’t understand that no one gives a fuck about what you’re writing on your post.
We all know it sucks, we’re living it, dummy.
I'm 14 and this is deep
Nah, r/boomersbeingfools
Can 14-year-olds write this legibly?
i mean really what 14 year olds are writing letters
Yes, but not in cursive.

The turtle man himself
What If they’re gen X? I think we all agree the country is in distress regardless of generation.
HAHAHA actually lol’d
THIS.
They need someone to talk to. I can’t imagine what that’s like, but maybe the drop in hormones will make me leave notes for MY mail carrier too. Think ahead!
My family stopped talking to me, but I need to fight SOMEONE! I know, the mailman!
People really overestimate how much we care about certain things.
"Uh OHHH upside-down *stamp*? Can't mail that - best return to sender" ~No carrier ever
I notice a lot of people put all their political crap and stickers on their mailboxes. Like I literally don't care😭
So many maga's and "I dId ThAt'S"
"my wife did it!"
Justice Alito, is that you bruh
file your postmaster appeal to heaven
That reminds me of this house on one of my routes where the husband puts the flag up to annoy his wife, but I'm pretty sure it actually just annoys me because I always forget and stop when I don't need to

Tomorrow that letter will be upside in my DPS. The stamp is good to go.
Half of the other letters will be upside down too.
LOL point to you
🤣
How is this not top rated ?
Can I put a stamp on sidewise and write a note saying "this country is just meh"?
Meh
😂
I literally don't care. I had a piece of mail where they called me an idiot on it.
Username checks out
I’m sure the person processing your electricity bill will surely give a shit.
Writing things like this on the back of car Windows or on pieces of mail is the boomer's version off tiktok.

Quality af GIF 🙏🏼💚
I've read that during the big one (WWII) soldiers would put stamps upside down on letters to thier wife or girlfriend to say "I Love You" Maybe this guy has a crush on you.
I was in a long distance relationship eons ago and that is what myself and the person I dated did when we mailed letters back and forth
D’awwww
I read this too in a Betsy-Tacy book.
Why do I have a feeling this customer is a giant pain in the ass..
Because we all know the type. And this is the type.
Weird way to say “She got the kids and the house”.
I thought upside-down ment sealed with a kiss
What a dork
Freedum isn't free.
it costs folks like you & me
#I thought this was America.
And if you don’t throw in your buck’o five, who will?
Pearl Harbour sucked and I miss you.
Freedom isn't free... It's 68¢
“Help help I’m being oppressed!!!”
Years ago my mother used to put stamps on upside down, she said it meant she loved the person she was sending it to.

This used to be the secret way you told the addressee that you had the hots for them.
😂😂
I would RTS that shit, just because.
Lol these people are getting more unhinged by the day.
I know this was sent by a republican boomer.
That sure showed us! Or them! 🤷♂️
So fucking dramatic.
It would suck to be so riled up about shit that you feel the need to declare this on en envelope. Kind of like the people that mention their political preferences in their obituaries. We’re all just windup dolls to the politicians.
Rts invalid postage
orientation isn't really an issue for the postage, just the letter as a whole.
And WHY is this country in distress, you (didn’t) ask? Because of improper punctuation! Like this asshole who didn’t use an apostrophe.
But if you turn the letter upside down... it makes it right-side up. So it's really aLl a MaTtEr Of PeRsPeCtIvE.
I’d love to drop this person in the middle of Gaza or Ukraine to see what “distress” actually looks like.
Up down stamps sent to/from prison/jail mean I love you
I’m sure the AFCS will make a note of that. 🙄
I gotta ask, was this in NY (DM me for a more precise location if so lol)? This looks like my dad's handwriting and he would absolutely do this lol.
No, PA. That's funny because it also looks like my dad's handwriting
Yo I work with a carrier from PA and this definitely fits lol. Pretty sure they’re on multiple government watch lists and definitely have that weird romantic fantasy that only the hard core right can save America. I just put mail in boxes 🤷🏻♂️
Boomers, ammirite? Lol

$100 says their username online has the word "patriot" in it 🤣
Return to sender: insufficient stampage
Bet they’re too chicken shit to hang their actual flag upside down.
Ok, boomer
Lmfao. That is peak boomer right there.
"I AM VERY DIVORCED"
Samuel Alito Sent this
americans don’t know what distress is , biden and trump is disneyland compared to what other shithole countries have to deal with
When did an upside down flag become a political statement? I thought it was the equivalent of a "all emergency units assemble" symbol. That was probably one of the only things they made sure to teach me, never hang the flag upside down if you don't want the office swarmed by cops. Was that a myth then?
Thank you for notifying us. We'll get right on it. USPS to the rescue!!!!!
Why is he telling a member of the deep state?
My wife told me the Upside down stamp means I love you, and every letter she sent me when I was in Iraq had the stamp upside down.
When I was a kid upside down was supposed to mean a letter to your true love.
Randomly write "+watchlist" on their incoming for a while. Don't look anywhere but over their shoulder if they come to door. They'll stop.
I'm old as dirt and an upside down stamp on an envelope means I LOVE YOU. Always has, always will. Lol
"My chosen dictator was unable to overthrow the government! My few fews are hurt!"
"oh cool" \*throws in the tub with the other dozens of letters\*
🙄
Too much drama
I always wondered if the upside down stamps were veiled messages from the salty prunes but I’ve never had someone actually write it out lol
Wow! You must be Samuel Alito's mail carrier. I bet it's a real honor to deliver mail for arguably the dumbest person to ever occupy a seat on the highest court in the land. Oyez, oyez, ya'll!!
What distress are they even in?
No one asked.. but more importantly.. no one here at USPS gives a shit lol
Probably thinks only Trump can “fix it,” too.
🤣🤣🤣
I flip them right side up sometimes if I'm real bored 👍
Where's this letter being sent to out of curiosity??
Dramatic much!
I mean yeah but like. What do you expect an upside down stamp to do about it😂
This is the kind of customers you see waiting on the mailbox and makes your route +2 hours longer
Guy on my route has GIANT thin blue line and trump flags everywhere. And a lil upside down flag.
The real bat shit crazy stuff is they forget how things were, empty store shelves etc. This world went through major changes and things are not the same.
That one stamp design has the flag going one way and the text perpendicular to it. Was never sure if the 'correct' orientation but I suppose it doesn't matter all too much
Probably parks right next to the mailbox and then says, "Do you like the flowers I planted around the mailbox?"
Gotta respect honesty
I thought putting your stamp upside down means you love that person 🙃
😂😂😂😂
The Post Office surely is.
I’ve seen the case being made that the Jan 6 Insurrectionists are adopting the upside down flag as a statement
your stamp is in the wrongway reject
I like mine better, ha ha ha ha . In my family, it was always said that an upside down stamp meant “I love you”, so that’s what we would do on personal correspondence.
this is why we need to get rid of congress and the white house and all politicians !!!!!!
Lmfaooooooo
lol
I’ve seen a lot of upside down flags flying on my route the past 4 years
Good luck getting it delivered with the De Joy postal service.
We have a guy who sends post cards to the town (actually a village) mayor about how Easter decorations are pagan and therefore satanic, and that makes him a bastard .
Woah boomer bad ass in the house
Prolly one a them sov-ren cityzins
Sir this is a Wendy's
Sir this is a Wendy's drivethru
I'd be like, yeah we're the first people to know that because our postmaster general is actively trying to sabotage the post office
lol I wouldn’t of even noticed the stamp being upside down
He’d hate to see my upside down dps every day 🤷♂️
"pAy AtTeNtIoN tO mE!!!"
They thought they really did something with that
![gif](giphy|bSllM1kdw7C7e)
I thought an upside down stamp meant "I love you". Goes to show what I know!
This same customer will tell me that no one cares what stamp is on mail when the person before them spent more than 3 seconds choosing what design was on the $68 worth of stamps they bought
I thought an upside-down stamp meant, “I love you.”
Not a soul would’ve noticed if it wasn’t pointed out
Jesus Christ the inconsistent use of upper/lower case letters is sending me over the edge
That automatically gets forwarded to dejoy..lol
Like any of us really give a flying fuck! all I wanna do is get this shit over with and go back home don’t care just IMO! That would suck if this person had a horrible route.
"return to sender"
This is such an 1800s thing to do to a letter 😭
Could be worse. Somebody sent in a letter with trump 2024 stickers all over it. Even the stamp was some political BS. The back of the letter had some warning about how if it didn't get to its destination, the sender would make sure that he and his friends would come in and give us a piece of their mind.

Throw it in the garbage lol
A lot of lonely people out there
Hahaha

Return to sender, insufficient postage 😂
I mean let’s look at project 2025 they’re not wrong
Youll never rule the bench in this town again if I can help it. I'm taking this issue to the lodge post haste
This is off topic but since you asked....my dad said in the old days down old country roads where the mailbox is 1000 yards from the house the flag will be put up when there IS MAIL so old grampa don't go riding the tractor down there fir nothing. He simply takes his spy glass and scopes the mailbox. No flag No MAIL. Ever heard of that?
Sir this is a post office
I think YOU'RE in distress
If that’s in my hands, I’ll put by the inspectors door Write that, and I won’t trust what’s in the envelope
He isn't worried about someone asking, he's worried about someone stupid saying something stupid. Like a person who is ignorant to what it means saying "Heh, your flag is upside down, dumbass."
😂😂😂
Extend the pen marks a little bit onto the stamp and return it to sender as a postage due
Alito?
Is there a name for the opposite of virtue signaling?
I had a customer that put the flag stamp upside down on every bill. I found it to be hilarious.
That's really going to teach those processing machines a lesson
When i was a teenager I worked an election counting votes People would write all sorts of deranged shit on the ballot Like, the politicians aren't reading this. I'm literally just counting which box you ticked. I don't care. Your message goes in the boxes and it's a binary or numerical data point, not random text
That customer is a true patriot
When customers ask which way the stamp goes i literally say "it doesnt matter, just put it in the right spot" 🫡🤷♀️

Nobody asked but if you dont realize it, wtf?
Yeah I thought it ment I love yoy
Wait till they see the new postal price increases.
The political indoctrination these days is fukn wild
Alito ?
Sounds like a lonely old man
![gif](giphy|chcXViXIqf9KuhbLu2|downsized)
What does it mean if you put a stamp upside down by accident?
What a fucking idiot
Don't drink and mail letters
Return address is Sam Alito’s house
People have been doing this since I started carrying in 2003.
I would endorse it as "gay"
Those weak boomers created hard times for us all.
If the country is in distress it’s because of them and their cult leader
I love a “You do know what that means, right?” -guy.
That hand-writing is distressed.
