A man fed up with the U.S. Postal Service turned to 911 with a wild demand: Send the cops to threaten the postmaster — or else.
Dispatchers say the man, who’s had an ongoing beef with the post office, called in a fury after his mail wasn’t delivered. His reasoning? He claimed the garage he uses as a mailing address should be serviced — even though postal workers say it doesn’t show up as a valid location in their system.
When told this wasn’t a police matter, the man became even more irate and insisted officers should march into the post office and force the postmaster to deliver his mail — or arrest them.
Spoiler alert: That didn’t happen.
🚓 An officer calmly explained that this was a civil issue, not a criminal one, and law enforcement wasn’t about to declare war on the USPS. The man was advised (again) to take it up with the postmaster or file a complaint with their higher-ups — not 911.
When that didn’t satisfy him, he asked to speak with a police supervisor. The officer on the call informed him he was the supervisor on duty and invited the man to file a formal complaint — at the records window.
Moral of the story? If your mail isn’t coming, don’t expect the police to return to sender on your behalf. 📭
