Reply #9: They're tetchy, that's for sure

For the first time ever, our mail carrier refused to deliver our mail (we have a mailbox next to the front door) because "path wasn't cleared", as they wrote on the mail that they delivered the next day. I had shoveled the front walk all the way to the sidewalk, as well as the front steps, but there was a small lump of ice on the second step. It didn't extend the entire width of that step, but apparently that was enough for the mail carrier to refuse to climb the two steps to our stoop. :shrug:

Of course we caved and I made DH find the tub of rock salt that was buried deep in the garage. But...that was a new one on me.
