One day I saw the mail truck drive past my house. I walked to the communal mail box setup and watched the woman putting the mail in the boxes, waiting for mine. I saw her put a padded envelope WITH A DELIVERY CONFIRMATION TAG into a neighbor's box.
I said: Excuse me. I think that one is mine.
Then there was a two minute argument about wheather she was even going to take it out of the box and check it.
I had to threaten to complain to the local postmaster before she would even look at it.
Of course, it WAS mine.
Rather than apologize, she actually threw it at me, and went back to putting mail in the wrong boxes.
