‘Ding-Dong’, someone is
pushing my door bell, I rush out, to find out my teenage neighbor at the door,
he handed me a letter of mine wrongly sent to his house. I really appreciated it and thank him with a
bow. Such a caring neighbor, sure he deserves
a rich and good looking girl friend.
Two months later, the
same boy holding an envelope at the door, I gave him my cutest smile, but he
replied, ‘Aunty ah, your letter come to my house again, why huh? Always wrongly sent?’ I can see his dismay and irritation, I felt
so vexed, as if I am causing him the trouble and inconveniences. At that moment, I immediately withdraw my
previous blessing on him. Still, I
remember to held on my noble posture, I extended a humble apology and thank him,
I told him that I will take action on this.
Another two months later,
I received 5 letters wrongly sent to me, I scratch my head off, some are 3 km
away from my home, some don’t know what and where on earth, this round, I am at
sixes and sevens, how to deal with these 5 letters? To kill my curiosity I prefer to open and
read, or, make easy burning on garden leave, or, gain extra by selling with old
newspaper, or use as recycle paper for my son to do math, or just simply write ‘wrongly
sent’ and drop it back in the post letter box, and of course, the last resource
is to hand carry deliver like the teen boy did.
Clueless, and cause me to
swallowed 5 paracetamols daily by clenching on with these 5 important
letters. As a sagacious person, I made
the decision to kick the ball back to Post Office, there go an official mail to
tell them my 5 paracetamols problem.
On the next day evening, the
Post Office Manager & Supervisor drop by my home, they acknowledged their
mistake, that maybe caused by his newly on board staff, contributed by no
proper road signage, added on with upcoming Taman that have confusing names (Taman
= resident park), and the excuses list went on like toilet roll.
Last and foremost, they
inform me that for recurrence, don’t take the trouble to write officially, just
give them a call, they will come by my house to collect the wrong letter.
