At my old address, I received a lot of mail that had the flap torn up at one end of the envelope (just enough so one hypothetically might discern the contents of the envelope). After a while, I noticed that this was more likely to happen if the envelope appeared as if it might contain a greeting card or a credit card. At first I thought that evildoers were checking my mail after the carrier had inserted it in my mailbox, but eventually I discovered that it was happening even when I got the mail before any non-postal worker would have a chance to get to it.

Chicago mail sucks.

There, there, Tommy. I'm sure they were just checking for anthrax.

I think I'm going to steal sarameg's identity. The tortie doesn't stand a chance.

You underestimate the power of the tortie. Don't come blaming me when you wake up because you are being stomped on by four tiny feet.

Have I mentioned yet today about how I hate people?

Some loser postal employees like to look for gift checks/money/cards in the mail.

edit: You'd think they'd just steal the whole envelope instead of leaving evidence of a crime.

Hey, from what I've heard, you're lucky to get your mail at all.

You underestimate the power of the tortie.

You underestimate my dislike of things that move that aren't me.

You're off to a slow start.

Crime makes you stupid, Connie.

They were just greedy, not evil.

You're off to a slow start.

Oh, I've been hating them since I got on a train that didn't end up going anywhere this morning, had to walk all over hell and gone to take a less-convenient line, and got to work an hour late.

I was just wondering if I had mentioned it.
