another reason for me to hate the post office

Okay, so I've stopped using the post office for shipping gifts to people after their gross loss of two full boxes of Christmas presents I sent to Louisiana last year. I've only been using them for simple mail and for shipping media mail books, etc., that I sell on Amazon.

So recently I had to send an envelope with a small small small gift in it that made the envelope a little heavier. I sealed it and put two stamps on it to make sure they'd take it.

Like two days later, I find a tattered envelope on the road near my mailbox. Apparently, our useless mail person (who I already had issue with because of her putting new mail in and stupidly leaving outgoing mail in the box) just negligently dropped a piece of my mail and left it there. Because the envelope was destroyed, I couldn't use it again, so I peeled the two stamps off to use again.

I addressed a new envelope and taped the two stamps on the top, because the glue wasn't sticky enough, and I didn't have any glue here. I put it back in the mailbox. That afternoon, after the mail idiot came, the envelope was still in the mailbox. Now it had a thing on it that said that the stamps were previously used.

So now I have to get two more stamps to mail the card. And two perfectly good stamps in the trash. Not to mention, I just bought a book of stamps and now I can't find them. So let's do a little math. That's almost ten bucks down the drain. Which wouldn't tick me off as much if the post office didn't suck and my mail jackass wasn't retarded.
