Is it easy to mail a letter? Yes.
Is it easy to put the letter in a drop box? Yep.
Now the real question is if I can mail a letter in a drop box? Nope.
Last night I had to mail five letters. So after driving around Minneapolis with Evan, he pulled up to the townhouse complex's drop box so I could just lean out the window. Instead of dropping them into the drop box one or two at a time, I stuffed all of them into the tiny slit at once. Sometimes my excitement to pay the bills just cannot be contained :) An average person could handle this task and it would be o big deal, right? Lies. I apparently am not the average Jones. Nope because when I pushed the letters into the drop box a couple letters went upwards and a couple letters went downwards. Now this doesn't seem that bad; however, there are mailboxes right above the drop box. The letters that went up actually went up into the #12 mailbox above the drop box. The width of that crack is about 1/16 of an inch. Sometimes I am so talent!
Since I got into this predicument you think I could get out of it? Not a chance. I couldn't grab anything because my shellac nails prevent me from gripping anything. I started panicking because I had just shoved checks into someone's mailbox… and I didn't know that someone. So when I panic mode, ask your loving husband to help :)
Here is my wonderful hubby attempting to undo my mistake :) We don't look sketchy at all in the late evening attempting to stick out hands in the drop box and a mailbox!
Lesson learned: I will now contain my excitement when paying the bills.
