What is this "post office" you speak of.

[Betweenshades]

I just had to explain to someone how to mail something.

Really.

When they asked, I thought they were asking how to return a part, so I explained that. No. They didn't know how to mail something.

Like they didn't get the idea that they would have to put the address on the box and take it to UPS or the Post Office. I don't even know what to think.

Owwww.....You just liquified my brain.

[Betweenshades]

Owwww.....You just liquified my brain.

RIGHT?? Especially since they clearly receive mail- he wouldn't have gotten the part I sent him, otherwise!

He's called like 4 more times since I posted this with other inane questions.

*stabbity*

Owwww.....You just liquified my brain.

Please tell us that it was a ten year old asking, 'cause it's sad that someone has gone this long without knowing how to send something through snail mail.

hmm, i'm guessing they've been sending smoke signals and using carrier pigeons prior to this amazing discovery called the postal service??

Maybe they thought you sounded hot on the phone and wanted to keep you talking, but they weren't bright enough to come up with something that made sense.

This is what kills me. The mail is not some weird, quirky American thing that no one outside of the states has heard of. It's how many millennium old?? I still don't know what to think!

Well, I am pretty hot :P

Even a 10 year old knows how that works.

Nah, I bet he was using the pony express.

Maybe you should mail him a copy of Kevin Costner's The Postman.

[Food Lady]

Was he from Nunavet?

[Jester]

this amazing discovery called the postal service...

Hey, give the guy a break. Some people need time to adjust to new things. After all, the U.S. Postal Service was founded in 1775, so it's only been around 236 years....

[MoonCat]

I had a customer tell me they didn't know how to look something up in the phone book. Maybe she was related to this person who didn't know how to mail things.

[chainedbarista]

from ze jester: Hey, give the guy a break.

*cracks knuckles* sure, where should i start?

[Mikkel]

It's how many millennium old??

According to Wikipedia, around two and a half millenia . In her days in ancient Persia it was probably not for common people, though.
