Would it surprise you to learn that the postal workers of the world are inclined to throw the packages around? If you've ever ordered something by mail, like literally even once, chances are you've gotten a package with some bent corners and scraped-up sides. Most companies do a pretty good job packing the products so that they can still get to you intact. They have to, because a lot of employees will sling those boxes around like they're not full of precious cargo.

If you did that job, though, you'd probably start tossing boxes too. The package carriers never know what's inside, and they handle hundreds of packages per day, so after a while, they just want to hurry up and get the boxes to their destinations ASAP.

This postal worker has been told that they can't throw the boxes around, though they admit they still do it. They wrote the phrase "throwing with care the packages [sic]." That's right, they admitted to tossing those boxes around with love. They're gently heaving them around the conveyor belt. Okay, whatever you want to call it! Some commenters did call this person out for that.

The employee was actually upset by their bosses' favoritism. The bosses allowed some people to listen to music while working, while they were harsher on the employees they weren't close friends with. You can check out this person's tale of petty revenge below.
