You hear of this type of thjing often enough but the volume of mail involved in this is extraordinary.
Another lazy postman.
A postman who allegedly hoarded 24,000 mail items at his home because delivering them was “too much bother” has been accused of violating postal law in Japan.
The 61-year-old courier had apparently been stockpiling the undelivered post since 2003 in his Kanagawa home, near Tokyo. The postman reportedly told police: “It was too much bother to deliver them. I didn't want my colleagues to think I was less capable than younger people.”
The man, who has not been named, was fired last year by the Yokohama branch of Japan Post after an internal investigation revealed the hidden mail. Japan Post, the government-owned mail service, apologised for the incident and said that all the recovered post will make it to its intended destination.
