Something which has always intrigued me tho I have never really tried to get an explanation.
I live in a rural area. My rural carrier, both regular and substitute are great. For some reason I will typically get less mail on Monday. It is by far the day I will most likely not get any mail. If I do get mail it is often one piece when I regularly get 3 or 4.
Since Monday includes two days worth of mail, common sense tells you that you should get on average twice as much.
Any idea why this happens and it is not my imagination?
I’ve no idea. Coincidence, I suppose. There are a lot of advertisements that mailers try to get delivered on Fri/Sat for maximum attention span, I guess. My Mondays aren’t bad at all, but Tuesday is the big day of my week, so I take Monday off. Maybe there’s some concerted effort to relieve the load on Monday? Pure speculation here.
