You’ve come to expect the mail every day. Okay, maybe there are a few schedule anomalies: days when you get more than one delivery, or a regular delivery and then a surprise repeat visit shortly thereafter because there was an extra package, or the mail doesn’t arrive at all because the system is taking a break. But generally, there’s a schedule with some measure of predictability.

Except sometimes you know the mail is supposed to be delivered — maybe you got a special notification, or maybe the mail didn’t arrive yesterday and so you know it’s for sure on its way with more volume than usual, whether that’s a bunch of useless flyers or a big old heavy padded envelope — and yet nothing shows up, and you’re like, what the fuck? You can see the truck out there on the street, so what’s the problem? I mean it’s not like your entire life is on hold while you wait to see if the mail is going to arrive, necessarily, but it sure would be nice to get back on track. You don’t want postal entropy, because who knows where that leads? Discomfort with the quality of service, to be sure, but also lingering questions about the carrying capacity of one mailbox, and perhaps concern over unexpected future deliveries.

“I’ll be there in a minute!” the guy says from the truck, offering a cheery wave, but he doesn’t budge. Or maybe he slips, like, a single leaflet in your direction, but you know damn good and well you’ve got more than some flimsy circular addressed to “Occupant.”

Basically, what you want is an easier route from point A to point B. Something to expedite the process from truck to mailbox because who knows what’s causing the delay but clearly this entire situation needs to aim towards maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort. Deliveries should arrive in a streamlined, orderly manner, by God, and NONE of us should have to wait by the window for half the morning while some misguided resource reroutes a package for tomorrow at 7 PM. (Anything later than immediately after a 3 PM caffeine break is a hostile act and will be received with great reluctance.)

And this, my friends, is why I heartily and sincerely recommend the Squatty Potty.

Ha! For a while there I was sure you were talking about waiting for one’s period to come when suspicious about pregnancy or perimenopause.

My husband and I bought a house and the tub is directly in front of the toilet, perfect for putting feet up and angling for an easy, tidy delivery. I try to talk my husband into trying it, but you know how stubborn men can be. Everything is easier when between too unnatural and too natural. My husband and I are still laughing at this awesome post.

While this is very relevant to my life, I’ve been wondering for days your thoughts on this week’s TWD. Because UGH.

When my son was young (like under 5 or 6?), he used to squat on the toilet (both feet on the seat, squat down). Maybe he was on to something.

I liked this when I thought it was a rant about the post office (*shakes fist*) and then I loved it when I realized it was about the pooping. Good show!

My sister saw one at bedbathbeyond & sent me a haha pic…I said…I HAVE that.

She STILL thinks I’m kidding.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this piece. It’s so brilliant. And helpful (I finally bought it after reading this.) I had to come back and re-read it. Also, you’ve got some super fun spam here, friend. ^^
