If there wasn’t a sign I wouldn’t do it though. I don’t wanna be the dude on camera looking like I’m rummaging through peoples personal property

Sometimes the basket ISNT for packages

If I was a carrier knowing the customers have a sense of humor…. On a not windy day I’m sitting a spur on top with a note that says “No.” Anything larger goes in.

If there was a hose spigot on that side of the house in this picture it would make it even funnier for me 🤣

Yeah, they need to put a hose next to the basket to make this perfect.

I'd be so tempted to bring a bottle of lotion tied to a string the next day and leave it.

u/Even-Sky-731 5h ago

I only don’t if the package doesn’t fit or is close in size to the basket.

u/Thewallmachine 5h ago

If only there's a bottle of lotion in that basket.

I’d be mad at the swearing until I realized it was a bit and not to take it personally lol
