Watching Seinfield's Kramer go to the US Post office and complaint about mail delivery and saying he wanted out of Main was Funny! Till one day I experienced something which made me rethink!
I missed picking up my mails for a few days and when I finally went to pick up - I saw the usual orange notice from post office to come and pick up my mails from the post office as my mail box was full!
When I finally had the opportunity to go to the post office it was well over a week - and the couterperson after verifying my IDs and all went away for a goo 15 minutes or so- when she came back with my boat load of mail - she wasnt really happy! She started complaining that I need to take my mails every day & so on and warned that one more day and they would have returned them to senders.
Suddenly that statement brought to memory that Kramer experience -and told her that may they should stop delivering those junk mails and it will not over flow my mail box- she was furious at that remark and said No they pay the post office and we cannot do that!! Saw the irony in it and suddenly realised soemthing which made me appologise for not picking up the mails and promised I will try to do it on a timely manner and walked away without creating a scene!
THink about it for a minute- In post internet era we buy software and pay more for the ISPs to stop spamming our virtual mail boxes! And to a large extent from Microsoft to Yaoohs and Googles they do a good job of preventing spams- what they miss there are paid softwares that do it for us....NOW Post Office does the same thing right at your door step and gets paid to do that and you cant do a damn about it!
