    I havent seen it in years because of forever stamps and digital postage, but people used to actually do this to make up for a few cents postage for a heavy letter, et c. My mom is notoriously cheap though, so maybe it is just us.

      When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.

      When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)

        I remember it as a kid, but they don’t allow it anymore. It fucks with high-speed sorters
