Brought back a college days memory. I used to deliver mail for the campus and each day at Noon our big truck would go to the Detroit Post Office near the river and we would unload a lot of outgoing bags on the dock.

Inside, the US postal workers would handle the signing in. More than once we saw the guys there tossing small and medium boxes of mail to each other with joking basketball moves (behind the back, over to the left after after a feint to the right) and toss them into various canvas bins.
They would joke “Uh, oh, this one is special, handle with care” and maybe give it a knee kick or a light tap off the cinder block wall. Funny stuff.

I remember one long time USPS employee saying they stole a set of luggage. If they did that, they did much more. I know they did. I will not use usps anymore.

Attempting to break other people stuff that has been entrusted to you is funny?

I purposely don’t mark things fragile for the very reason you stated.
