Fri Jul 14, 11:14 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin postal worker who was caught with more than several thousand undelivered letters in his basement has admitted he was overwhelmed by the job but insisted he planned to deliver them soon.
Police recently found 90 boxes of post stacked in his basement. The postal worker, 36, identified as Thomas H., told Bild newspaper Friday he was only temporarily storing the post at his house and friends would help with delivery.
"There were just too much and I couldn't deliver it all by myself," he told the newspaper. Police said some of the letters found had been postmarked as early as April. The postal worker faces disciplinary action.
NORMAN!!!!
NEWMAN !!!!
From the headline, my first thought was, "doesn't this happen every day?"
Newman... is that you?
It's like my son who would sneak candy and throw the wrappers behind his dresser instead of in the trash. We always found them and my only question was why he didn't throw them away - we would never have known. Shrug!
Newman!!!!
There goes Newman's transfer to Hawaii.
Crease, crumple, cram.
Jeez, you guys are fast. I had a Newman picture ready to go before posting the story.
Then I took one quick phone call and you beat me to the punch!
Because the mail never stops......
Abortion!!! Killing babies!!!!!!!
baby killers!!!!!!
It is a disguise for baby killing!!!!!!
baby killers!!!!!!
Are you on the right thread?
Noahs ark!
I told the power company that my check was in the mail, but they turned the power out on me anyway.
Okay, I'm just not getting your posts. Wrong thread?
"He's pure evil!!"
what do you want to bet he happen to use some of his spare time watching the world cup?
No..impossible..there are only 26 letters in the alphabet
Lol! This thread has me rolling.
JERRY: You quit the post office?
NEWMAN: Kind of. I'm still collecting checks, I'm just not delivering mail.
Well, it's my job. And I'm pretty damn serious about it. In addition to being a postmaster, I'm a general. And we both know, it's the job of a general to, by God, get things done. So maybe you can understand why I get a little irritated when someone calls me away from my golf.
Now, go enjoy a nice hot bowl of oatmeal.
"Yea, Jerry. He's the guy who called me Norman in post number 2 ! I loathe that name. Loathe it!!!!!
What a hoot! The most infamous mailman since Cliff Clavin! (Who, BTW, now has his own show on the Travel Channel).
Norman's onesie swimsuit cracks me up.
"Olli, ollie, oxen free!"
At least your son was guilty. I kept finding Little Debbie wrappers on our den floor. I thought our sons were covering for each other and I fussed at them almost every day about being pigs.
It wasn't them. I finally caught our cat tossing Little Debbie treats to the dogs from the top of the refrigerator.
That's funny! That would've been great to catch that on video :)
That Little Debbie is a cutie.
{At Mendy's Resaurant}
Bania: Oh, get the Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls Jerry. Best Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls in the city. The BEST!
Jerry: I'll have the Nutty Bars.
ROFLMAO....only in the Euro-weenie system.
USPS takes a lot of abuse, a lot of it deserved, but my career gave me a close look at the PO. They can layout, show up at work with ridiculous medical profiles, file union grievances, etc., etc. But when they screw around with the mail, they are heading to JAIL. USA!
I do wish that I could have. The cat was throughly enjoying watching the dogs beg.
of course,he had to take all the checks out,all the netflix movies and all the other goodies....But,he will get around to giving those residents the bills...Months later but, at least he got them to their designated place.....
JERRY: I think he's gonna need, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
NEWMAN: Mouth-to-mouth?
JERRY: Yeah.
NEWMAN: Huh.
JERRY: Well? Go ahead.
NEWMAN: You go.
JERRY: You knocked him out.
NEWMAN: Yeah, but you pulled him in.
JERRY: Come on Newman. Do it.
NEWMAN: Nah.
JERRY: He might die.
NEWMAN: Yeah. Maybe.
I hate the Drake!
