Who peed in her Cheerios?

[Megan Turnidge]

Seriously. I went to the post office and I had two packages to mail. Both packages were ready to go.... addressed, packed up... except one box, I ran out of packing tape so the bottom was taped and not the top! I got to the counter and the PO lady is like, "We don't pack your boxes for you."
<---- that was me, because I had no idea what she was talking about.
Then she points at the packing tape on the rack behind me and says, "You need to tape your own boxes. You can buy a roll of tape there."

Seriously, this was a very small box.... like 9x7x5 inches. It just needed tape to close the top up. So, I look at the packing tape and it's nearly $4!!! The shipping on that box wasn't even $4!!!

So, she calculates the shipping on my OTHER package and tells me it will only be 5 cents more to upgrade to Priority... so I do. Whatever. Only then does she go, "Okay, I guess I can tape this closed for you." As if it was such a HUGE favor I was asking her for.

Then she's like, "We've got these rules for a reason. You wouldn't believe the crazy things people bring in for us to pack! THis girl once asked me to package up a load of laundry!"
And I'm thinking, I'm not asking for something ridiculous! I just need 12 inches of tape!!!

Then I went to Target and bought the same size roll of tape for half the price.
I hate the Post Office. No one is ever very friendly.
