Reply to comment by Nutmegdog1959 in USPS again by rchhe
This could just be a rant post... It's normal for people to rant about things many others have issue with such as USPS. Calling OP a narcissist isn't right especially since this post could help others in the future with the same issue and dont know what to do.
Yes I agree contacting our Senator seems overkill but if it helped OP who are we to judge? It got the job done, if it really was such a no no they wouldn't of replied or helped. That's what our leaders are supposed to do, help. Even if its something as small as mail. Plus since so many have issues with USPS maybe this will get them to pay attention and work to solve the issue.

I'm conversant with 'rant posts' and generally they relate to a subject that will benefit all concerned. OP is only concerned w/ him or herself. The very definition of Narcissist.
If your DMV registrations don't arrive in what you believe is an acceptable time frame, you have a RECEIPT from DMV evidencing registration whether you re-register online or in person at DMV. That's sufficient in the event you are questioned by LE. In the future OP can do what the rest of do with DMV. Stick your thumb up your a** and wait!
YES, contacting your Senator is excessive. NO, that's NOT what they are there for, they have far more important things to do. And YES they are aware that the mail is not what it used to be. They don't need to be reminded ad infinitum.
Widow not receiving Social Security Survivors benefits, contact your Senator for constituent service. Veteran experiencing the multiplicity of issues facing veterans, contact your Senator. Mail not being delivered fast enough to suit you...go f*** yourself.
Insofar as Global Entry ID not arriving timely or Tax documents. The simple solution is APPLY EARLIER! That's a YOU problem, not an US problem.
If you wanted tracking for your mail, you reach into your wallet and pull out a couple George Washingtons. It's that SIMPLE and that CHEAP! Going to the local station of USPS FOUR times , taking time off from work, accomplished exactly NOTHING but wasted everyones time!
And to the OP, please accept my sincerest condolences for your inability to be whisked through customs treated like the special person you truly are. I can't imagine the indignation you will experience having to rub elbows with the great unwashed like myself that haven't the foresight to get their Global Entry ID.
I can't imagine the horror you must be experiencing. Right up there with the trauma of having to chose between a Tesla Plaid or a Lucid Air. Shall we holiday in Fiji or St Moritz? The pain of having to choose, making these hard choices is exhausting, almost debilitating.
And, by the way, while we're on the subject of USPS. How much did OP tip the mail carrier this past holiday season? Did you throw that slovenly slob a TEN SPOT that s/he will probably blow on smokes or lottery tickets?
How about the UPS and FedEx guys/gals that slog your cheap trinkets and dog food though the snow, sleet and freezing rain? The crap that you order online and are to goddam lazy to go to your local community retailer and re-invest in the community you live in. You would rather save $.50 and order online and have someone SERVE YOU.
How much did you tip those lousy bastards that serve you? That's what I thought.
There, THAT's a goddam rant!

You do have many valid points but no ones going to listen because of how you wrote it. Kill people with kindness, you attract more bees with honey, etc. If you come out attacking people they'll ignore it completely. Whether people agree or disagree because of how its written you'll be downvoted and no one will pay attention.
I did get Karen vibes but this is VT, theres lots of them here. Guess the saying a lack of planning on your end does not constitute an emergency on my end, fits well here and is the gist of what you meant. But still, thinking OP looks down on mail workers/delivery people based on this is a bit of a stretch. May be true but not a fair assessment. But this is an update to OPs original post which was a question, that is how reddit works, not narcissistic to post an update especially if people were interested in if OP solved it. Yet at the same time OP had an update in the old post and this seems more ranty so maybe your original narcissist point is valid. I'd be embarrassed personally to contact the Senator over lost mail personally but hey, not my circus not my monkey
