My conspiracy senses are tingling

This sounds like a Seinfeld plot! - Hello Newman!

You can't say not all mail carriers pick and choose. My mailman is a drunk. He's been a drunk as long as he's been a mailman( (20+ years). He takes his breaks a local bar, (where my drunk mother also hangs out, that's why I know this), the guy is a complete nut. He hoards mail, and will deliver like 20 letters one day a week. He drives his truck to EVERY house when he does deliver the mail, and our houses are only about 10 feet apart, not like it's a long walk. He drinks in his truck on a dead end street hardly no one drives on, I saw him one day driving home from the grocery store, he was drinking a beer, in his mail truck, parked by the railroad tracks. He's had the same route for at least 23 years, and most of the people have lived in the neighborhood that long, and we all know him, yet once a week, all of us are outside exchanging mail cause he's given the wrong mail to the wrong address. He has a supervisor walk his route with him at least once a month. They give him the worst mail truck so it's always super loud and making horrid sounds. One day he even delivered my mail on a riding lawn mower. No joke, I have pictures. I have no idea how this man still possibly has a job. I guess because no one ever reports him, I mean, it's odd, and sometimes an inconvenience when you're expecting something, but he's been our mailman since I was four, as I live the same neighborhood I grew up in. He's a real nice guy, just a bad mailman.

Don't they (Progressive) have an app for that? Feel sorry for you!

Call local post office and ask for tort/claims officer every postal district has one

I don't have a car, but I can tell you my internet company only ever sends me bills and such through snail mail. Even though I asked for e-billing, I've never received a single email or call. Just bills in the mail. So I wouldn't be that surprised to hear of an insurance company pulling the same crap.

*insert conspiracy theory here*

they knew...

The important thing is you are alright, and hopefully the truck driver as well. Vehicles can be replaced, people can't. Here's to hoping the USPS pays for everything.

He needs to be reported, not only to his supervisor, but to the police if he is drinking while driving. It doesn't matter if he is a nice guy, he is drinking and driving, and is a bullet on the road. If your whole neighborhood knows about this and hasn't reported him, something is wrong with your neighborhood as it puts everyone in it in danger. This can not be a common thing. And, for us at CP at least, it is more trouble to hold mail than it is to deliver it.
