My biggest peeve about the post office is that every time I ask them to hold my mail for a few days, they ALWAYS screw it up. The form really couldn't be any simpler: Fill out your address and the days you'll be gone and either check the box marked "restart delivery on x date" or check the other box marked "hold the mail until I come in to retrieve it." I ALWAYS check that I want it held until I personally show up for it at the post office, but the carrier ALWAYS decides to just force all my mail into the tiny box on the last day and leave any packages out in the open unprotected.
At the very least, if a package ever gets stolen they can't pull the "it was delivered" crap since I had quite explicit directions not to deliver in writing.
And don't get me started on the rest of delivery in general. Having "do not bend" stamped on an envelope is the surest way to make sure it's the only bent item in the box. I don't even know what my current mail carrier looks like, but I'm pretty convinced s/he's a passive aggressive dick.
