I check my mail every single day even though I don't have to.
It is a little bit of a walk from my apartment, but I like to check it every day. Not because I feel like I should get mail everyday (I don't). Most of the mail I do get are is bills and junk mail which would make you think that I wouldn't want to get the mail. Actually - sometimes it does. However, I check it without fail.
Here is why: Besides getting to use my cute little mailbox key - I don't want the mail man to find that I didn't pick up my mail from the day before. I don't want the mail man to feel like I am slighting him and not valuing his valuable service by not even honoring his efforts by taking his offering even though I am 99% sure that the mail man could care less.
Today I realized this. It kind of makes sense considering that I was the kid who rotated the dishes so that one that had just been used wouldn't be used before one that hadn't had its turn yet so as not to hurt the dish's feelings.
Come to think of it - I still do that.

OCD much? :)
haha
that reminds me of when there was a time in my life, i said "ouch" when thought i hurt a cupboard door, by slamming it a little too hard.
i understand
mailmen have feelings too
and i'm sure he/she cares...what if the mailbox got so full there was no more room for the mail the man/woman was delivering? then he/she WOULD be upset, i think.
