You feel sorry for them because their job is repetative - give me a break - they should be thankful that they have a job, but they are not - they act as if it is the biggest pain in the ass in the world to put a letter in your mailbox. I'm glad that they pull out their guns and kill each other. Postal workers are the biggest bag of assholes there are.

Oh yeah they already do that. It could be worse i guess. It could be the dmv. I know an awesome post office game that the workers could play: Try to speak english!

Oh...I thought this was gonna be some kissing game. My favorite line game is to not move up all the time. I'm maybe ten back in line and I let the next two or three go to the counter but I don't move up. I can feel the line behind me scrunching closer and closer to each other like cattle as the panic starts to set in (sorry for the redundancy). They can see someone went to the counter and they are damm well going to move up. They'll never get served if they don't MOVE. It's not the seven people still ahead that are delaying them, it's that extra two feet they lost. Lost. How will they ever make that up?! Get closer! Now! NOW! Someday I hope the line bursts in the middle, cartoon style. Next! ps: US postal rates go up May 11. Go now and avoid my, I mean, the...line. Post Office!

With paintball! You get shot, you have to go back to the beginning. Course, you'd probably have some pricks camping the counter and shooting people right as they exit.

It alerts them to move and is just subtle enough to get the stupid peoples attention. That’s why baby Jesus invented a quick jab to the kidney.

Assholes. I was 27, but still. I think the lines should just be set up like corrals. Bell goes off and first one to the counter gets to be serviced. I'm tired of waiting behind people who just stand there while the workers say 'next' 17 times.
