I sit in school checking my phone constantly to see if it gets delivered and then I run home from the bus stop and rip open my package as fast as I can

Meet up with the mailman at his first stop and continue walking with him until he gets to my house. That’s when he is allowed to hand me the package. Sometimes we walk for 3 blocks.

lol he could give it to right away , he’s aloud to if he knows you . I had a friend who used to find the mailman blocks away from his house for his paycheck . Your mailman just enjoys your company .

I’m at work for most packages (easier to get them at work) so I just continue working and pretending that I’m not listening for the delivery. Which of course I totally am.

No routine.

I can hear the mail delivery vehicle through my computer room window if I’m in my computer room.

If I’m downstairs, I usually can’t hear anything between kids screaming, one of the two dogs parking, other adults “speaking” at the top of their lungs, the TV blaring and me just not giving a darn at that point in time.

If I’m out front doing something, I can see it being stuffed in the mailbox.

Or, I can just make a BIG order from YYE that requires signature, and it will come right to me when the doorbell rings.

I don’t spend a lot of time waiting around. I got other things to do.

And if anything, the local carrier and I are on great terms, so I rarely miss anything these days.

I throw, and stare out the window all day. My mailman’s mail truck has a weird distinctive sound. But other cars and tricks sound the same, once I hear that sound I jump up and run to the window just to see a stupid diesel truck or old beater drive up the road…

I frankly don’t care.  
I never look for the mail, I don’t track. If something arrives, cool, If not, also cool.

So in the event you were to buy anything on the internet, you simply don’t care if it comes or not?

As long as it gets here within a reasonable time, I’m happy, but I don’t go waiting around in anticipation for anything cause as I said, I frankly don’t care.  
Don’t go putting words in my mouth hun. \> . \<

Not having a routine and not caring about an order aren’t exactly the same thing. As long as you’re aware of the time lapse, you care to at least a minimal degree. However, I can believe that some people don’t check their tracking or wait in anticipation for the mailman to arrive.

I just can’t relate to them. :wink: (updates a tracking page)
