Male, 31
I work in NYC for the USPS. I drive a 2 ton box truck and deliver packages that are too large for the regular letter carrier to take. I've been on my assignment for 5 years and a postal worker for almost 10. I spend most of my day running up and down stairs with heavy packages. I have to be on constant alert for dogs. Especially in apartment buildings with narrow hallways. I have lots of great customers and I love my job. All of my opinions are my own and I DO NOT speak for my employer.
I'd have to say it's when someone calls for a re-delivery because they weren't home the first time, and then you get there with it for the 2nd time and they aren't home again. Especially when you gotta huff it up 4 flights of stairs on a 90 degree day. It definitely makes my blood boil. There usually isn't a 3rd attempt.

I'm sure that back in the day there was more of a chance of that happening, but I still have yet to see someone try it. I suppose it would work, but someone would eventually catch on and your friend would get caught for mail fraud.
Share Answer: 
I belive that they scan/xray the majority of items coming into the country. Safety is the main concern when it comes to the mail. I highly doubt that anything hazardous or dangerous would make it past security screenings. Also, parcels from other countries have customs tags on them which describe the contents.

No. Luckily for me, I'm 6'3'' and weigh over 250 lbs. People tend to stay away from me and I'm thankful for it. I'm also very friendly with everybody and I feel like that helps. I have had some arguments with cab drivers, but that's about it.
