I don’t think that’s the lesson at all. The lesson appears to be “assume everyone is stupid.” Obviously, the first two guys had no idea about this rule. I live by this rule, it saves me a lot of trouble.

@ Cath, that can’t be good for customer relations, can it?

@ Wendi, that’s true, you never know. And when you find out, it might be long after the fact.

Hi Hunter – it’s even worse when they wake your customers up on a Saturday morning & charge them the extra.

@ Vered, notice I included some facts and figures just for you!

@ Barbara, I guess that’s similar to “be careful what you wish for.” Sometimes we don’t actually want what we think we do.

@ Evelyn, thanks, glad you liked it.

@ Stacey, exactly, it’s easy to always be calling everything bad luck, and not even noticing the good luck you’re having.

@ Akemi, while learning is always up to us, the post office can be quite an educational place. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more lessons to come.

@ NunoXEI, hundreds of feeds is so much. How do you do it? I hadn’t heard much about why Chrome was a big deal, so it was a very informative book. And being a comic made it entertaining as well.

This is a fun little “proverb tale” with real life foundations. I nearly spead scrolled past your blog in my desire to grind through my hundreds of back-logged RSS feeds due to road trippin’ for the last two weeks. Wasn’t it my lucky surprise to giggle at your tale to then see my name mentioned in the last line !

Thanks for the link up and I do encourage people to check out Scott McCloud’s book on Chrome if they are curious enough about Google’s desire to enter the browser war game but to lazy or non-technical to care to find out what makes it different enough to even BOTHER entering the browser war. I was impressed enough after reading the first dozen pages or so to find out I was more interested in it’s potential than I ever thought I’d care to think any further about… Enjoy!

Gee, I didn’t know what an educational place a post office can be. . . .
Oh, it’s not the post office. It’s YOU who can learn from such a small thing in life ^_^

It goes to show how much our perspective has to do with thinking of situations as bad luck or good luck. This reminds me to be looking for the silver lining. Stacey / Create a Balances last blog post..Personal Development Mantra

I like how a simple case of not pasting enough postage stamps turn out to be a lesson for all. You’ve just shared a very nice message. Thanks!

Hi Hunter,

I heard a saying long ago, “Be glad all of your prayers aren’t answered”. When we think back to that which we hoped for, and what transpired instead, it becomes a big AH-HA moment.
