The post office is funny. Several times I have gone across the street to get my morning paper and the mail man happens along. He won't hand me my mail. He as to put it in my mail box and then I have to wait for him to leave and then walk to the mail box and get it.

I wonder why he doesn't trust you, Officer Dave?  If you check your records, I bet that you've arrested him in the past, or perhaps you dumped trash in his yard?  Maybe worse.  But it's clear he wouldn't even deliver your mail if he could avoid it.
