Hope this provides a little humor to start your day.
Recently, I mailed some paperwork to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Addressed, just like that with the complete address. Lady at the brand name shipping store asks me if this is a business or a residence. I pause and think, “She just hasn’t read the address and is busy (only two people in the store but hey giving her a break because it’s first thing in the morning).”
So, I politely respond, “It’s the FBI. It’s a government office. Yes, it’s considered commercial or business.” She says, “Wait, I don’t have a box for a government location.” I say, “I think checking the commercial box will work just fine.” SHE CALLS HER MANAGER TO DOUBLE CHECK!!!!!!
Look past how sad this is for our schools and see the humor. Guy behind me in line thought it was hilarious and even had to turn away to contain his snickering. Nearly thirty minutes later as I walked past him to leave he mutters to me, “Glad I’m only shipping to Kansas.” I wished him luck. I think he’ll need it. If you live in town and ever need to ship to a government office, I recommend the post office. :)
