9 measly inches of snow and my outbound envelope is not outbound, it's just sitting there. If I didn't fear government retaliation I'd write a letter to my mail person explaining that I don't really care, I'm not interested in paying someone to brave this weather for my low priority parcel when it will all be gone in a few days thus allowing them to deliver my mail much more efficiently if a few days later. It's just that I AM paying them anyway. They forcefully prevent me from choosing the slower cheaper option and then they still don't deliver.
