you know what really annoys me? when the tired, tattoo-covered mailman takes your outgoing mail, puts incoming letters in your mailbox but forgets to put the stupid flag down. there have been many times when i’ve looked outside at 3pm and seen the little red flag still up. i’d think to myself “stupid mailman! where’s my mail? it should’ve been here by now!” then i repeat the process at 4pm and 5pm and then i finally get mad and walk outside at 6pm. “what the heck??? no mail today? flag’s still up. just let me check to make sure…” i say to myself as i impatiently open the mailbox…and what do i see inside?

MAIL!
