"That Idiot Jeffrey" Pushes USPS Employees Too Far
Seriously, man. No pets means no pets. You are stressing these people out. Look at their handwriting, for pete's sake.

@AfraidOfVelcro_GitEmSteveDave: Blind people with assisting animals know that they can go anywhere with them. The sign is for idiotic other people.
Uh... blind people don't need a sign telling them their dogs are OK because they can't see the sign saying pets aren't allowed. The sign is for self-absorbed people who otherwise would go "hey, how come that dog is allowed in and my pocket rat isn't?"
Is this the place to insert the old joke about "but wait! what if my pet can't read the sign?"
@AfraidOfVelcro_GitEmSteveDave: You laugh, but there actually are a few miniature ponies operating as guides for the blind. Won't that freak Jeffrey out!
@Liz11685: I know. My Ex(and me for a time) raises Seeing Eye puppies, so I became versed in the ins and outs of the program. Understandably, the puppies don't have the same rights, and even when we had the owners/stores permission, we would get looks, but it was (almost)always fun to explain to people, and inform the public.
@Segador: I keep seeing people complain about that, but I haven't had any problems. I saw someone suggest visiting a Gawker site before coming here. That could fix it; I usually visit LifeHacker before coming to Consumerist.
@pecan 3.14159265: Wouldn't a blind person just know that federal law lets them take their dog into a post office? :D
(And USPS, I totally know your sign is supposed to say "service animals" more broadly rather than "those assisting blind persons.")
@AfraidOfVelcro_GitEmSteveDave: I LOVE those ponies! There was a training farm close to where I went to law school and they'd bring them to the mall for their training. Nothing draws a crowd like a tiny pony in booties!
@floraposte: OMG! Ponies!!
That reminds me, I should catch up on The-Site-That-OMG-Ponies-frequents. Had been slacking on my slacking over the weekend.
@tc4b: It sounds like they've told him time and again, hence the "throws a hissy fit" part of the note. I'm sure that hanging a sign next to the door was their last effort before they had to call animal control or ban him outright.
@bdgbill: And it's people like you that force businesses to put up signs.
If your dog is such a perfect angel, have it certified as an assistance animal. That way you can bring it anywhere, even if you don't have a disability.

Pages and pages of snippy, snotty notes by jerks, for jerks.
@teh: No. At the time, almost three years ago, they didn't have vests to identify the puppies. According to the last news letter, they now are. My Ex did make up some bandanna's for the little bugger that had his name and some that had Seeing Eye written on them, as well as a "Seeing Eye" leash. We also had his ID card/etc when we took him out.
@bdgbill: My kid doesn't lick her own ass or shit on the floor. Keep your stupid dog in your car... with the windows up.






















Damn, Jeffrey. You don't want to get a postal worker's bad side. Bad idea. Very bad idea.
