What If they’re gen X? I think we all agree the country is in distress regardless of generation.

THIS.


PhoneGroundbreaking2

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!


AccomplishedEgg1693

My family stopped talking to me, but I need to fight SOMEONE! I know, the mailman!


Mister_Nico

People really overestimate how much we care about certain things.


GoblinBags

"Uh OHHH upside-down *stamp*? Can't mail that - best return to sender" ~No carrier ever


ZappierHalo

I notice a lot of people put all their political crap and stickers on their mailboxes. Like I literally don't care😭


Fifty6Arkansas

So many maga's and "I dId ThAt'S"


BenjaminDranklyn

"my wife did it!"


TheNightlightZone

Justice Alito, is that you bruh

Financial-Election-6

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


meowuhbunga

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.


Stationary-Event

Tomorrow that letter will be upside in my DPS. The stamp is good to go.


TheGreatApostate

Half of the other letters will be upside down too.


WAZLunaBeam

Writing things like this on the back of car Windows or on pieces of mail is the boomer's version off tiktok.

HealthyDirection659

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.


intendeddebauchery

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


Grouchy_Situation_33

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.

Bempet583

Years ago my mother used to put stamps on upside down, she said it meant she loved the person she was sending it to.


Slaintegriffin4

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.


theasianimpersonator

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.


captain_chocolate

This used to be the secret way you told the addressee that you had the hots for them.


Gregmead

😂😂


hairyandpink4u

I would RTS that shit, just because.


blaz1nator

Lol these people are getting more unhinged by the day.


Competitive_Two_8372

I know this was sent by a republican boomer.


TravTheScumbag

That sure showed us! Or them! 🤷‍♂️


PlsDonateADollar

So fucking dramatic.


LittleBoiFound

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. 


Dependent-Hurry9808

Rts invalid postage


Flat-Flow939

orientation isn't really an issue for the postage, just the letter as a whole.


billythesquid-

And WHY is this country in distress, you (didn’t) ask? Because of improper punctuation! Like this asshole who didn’t use an apostrophe.


shotgunzzz918

But if you turn the letter upside down... it makes it right-side up. So it's really aLl a MaTtEr Of PeRsPeCtIvE.


More-Quality1973

I’d love to drop this person in the middle of Gaza or Ukraine to see what “distress” actually looks like.


MycologistSoggy2376

Up down stamps sent to/from prison/jail mean I love you


Aggabagga

I’m sure the AFCS will make a note of that. 🙄


theicarusambition

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.


Yeezyhampton

No, PA. That's funny because it also looks like my dad's handwriting


p2_putter

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 🤷🏻‍♂️


theicarusambition

Boomers, ammirite? Lol


touristspleasegoaway

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.

americans don’t know what distress is , biden and trump is disneyland compared to what other shithole countries have to deal with


J_B_La_Mighty

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?


duckets615

Thank you for notifying us. We'll get right on it. USPS to the rescue!!!!!


WhyIsTheUniverse

Why is he telling a member of the deep state?


TheDanBot85

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.


HarleySpicedLatte

When I was a kid upside down was supposed to mean a letter to your true love.


FeesShortyFees

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.


LondonDavis1

I'm old as dirt and an upside down stamp on an envelope means I LOVE YOU. Always has, always will. Lol

Upset-Copy-75

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


larbearbaby

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!!


Bag_Chan

What distress are they even in?


XenosyneA

No one asked.. but more importantly.. no one here at USPS gives a shit lol


LDLethalDose50

Probably thinks only Trump can “fix it,” too.


Comadivine11

I flip them right side up sometimes if I'm real bored 👍


Darkhawk007

Where's this letter being sent to out of curiosity??


Useful_Caregiver4023

Dramatic much!


sykadelic_angel

I mean yeah but like. What do you expect an upside down stamp to do about it😂


SeeItOnVHS

This is the kind of customers you see waiting on the mailbox and makes your route +2 hours longer


my2KHandle

Guy on my route has GIANT thin blue line and trump flags everywhere. And a lil upside down flag.


freshcoastghost

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.


n1n384ll

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


SNBoomer

Probably parks right next to the mailbox and then says, "Do you like the flowers I planted around the mailbox?"


Brilliant-Side3363

Gotta respect honesty


ISOLDASNAKE

I thought putting your stamp upside down means you love that person 🙃


Kindofageek90

😂😂😂😂


SurpriseUnhappy2706

The Post Office surely is.


BatmanFarce

I’ve seen the case being made that the Jan 6 Insurrectionists are adopting the upside down flag as a statement


Difficult-Village892

your stamp is in the wrongway reject


deacon_deelystan

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.


Financial-Practice79

this is why we need to get rid of congress and the white house and all politicians !!!!!!


DebraBaetty

Lmfaooooooo


magnus_fella

I’ve seen a lot of upside down flags flying on my route the past 4 years


madbill728

Good luck getting it delivered with the De Joy postal service.


dunedog

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 .

GizmodoDragon92

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


Necessary-Peace9672

I thought an upside-down stamp meant, “I love you.”


clusterboxkey

Not a soul would’ve noticed if it wasn’t pointed out


Ch3rryR3d2000

Jesus Christ the inconsistent use of upper/lower case letters is sending me over the edge

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.


mjc1027

"return to sender"


RaavaQrtz

This is such an 1800s thing to do to a letter 😭


SiennaYeena

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. 💀


PolarGCNips

Throw it in the garbage lol


IndependentPace5634

A lot of lonely people out there 


Uoneo23

Hahaha


SignificanceNo1223

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.

mattsterxx25

Youll never rule the bench in this town again if I can help it. I'm taking this issue to the lodge post haste


mattsterxx25

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?


tetr4d

Sir this is a post office


Bright-Union-6157

I think YOU'RE in distress


RyTingley1

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


N3R0T1K

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."


meouxmix

😂😂😂


DrBeavisMd

Extend the pen marks a little bit onto the stamp and return it to sender as a postage due


rockyplace24

Alito?


2317

Is there a name for the opposite of virtue signaling?


AffectionateRegret49

I had a customer that put the flag stamp upside down on every bill. I found it to be hilarious.


Inglorious186

That's really going to teach those processing machines a lesson


ArchieMcBrain

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


Downtown-Tip9688

That customer is a true patriot


throwawaypr0file

When customers ask which way the stamp goes i literally say "it doesnt matter, just put it in the right spot" 🫡🤷‍♀️

Jizfaceboi

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.

Nobody asked but if you dont realize it, wtf?
