Children that make lots of noise in nice restaurants, and the idiot parents act like nothing is wrong.

People who don't say thank you when you hold a door for them.

YES! or you go out of your way to let them pass and not even a " cheers " and instead they look at you as if to say " what took you so long? "

Could you give me an example of this male bashing. Don't take me as aggressive or anything I'm genuinely curious.

You need to buy your stamps online! at https://store.usps.com/store/browse/...yId=buy-stamps

You can also make and print a shipping label at this website and give the package to your mail delivery person at home or the mail room at work or drop it in a blue mail box if small - never needing to go to the U.S. Post Office. https://www.usps.com

I thought people with the post office work to the point of cracking from the stress.

I thought the cracking of some post office employees was due to tedium, monotony, and ennui.

My local PO is a little cramped but the personnel is pleasant. I am never happy waiting in a line, but my overall experience is fine. Unfortunately, if you have any business to transact, such as stopping your mail or picking up stopped mail you have to go to a different building and doing that is torture. The building is not designed for people to wait in line and the workers are often not terribly fluent in English. Parking is limited too. Our city needs a nice new PO, but in this climate of smaller government, I doubt we get one.

I buy stamps at retailers now, if I think we need them.

One thing that irritates me is how cold most restaurants are when the outside temps warm up. If you get seated close to an overhead AC vent you can get so cold you might get sick. And even if you don't get sick, you can be really uncomfortable.
